2nd St. Patrick's Day in Korea








If you are all die hard Dan N Tan blog readers you will recall last year's St. Patrick's Day. It was one for the ages in its own special way. This year was much different and even more enjoyable. Last year it was Latanya and I setting on the floor with chopsticks, Guinness and a concoction of an attempt at corned beef and cabbage. This year we received some decorations from my mom and made the apartment look festive. I made sure to wear the bright green tie to work, thanks mom, it looked great. We had brought some corned beef from the U.S. and bought some more to help serve everyone. We decided to have our normal family dinner on that Wednesday, (St. Patrick's Day) so we just invited our closest friends that we normally have dinner with weekly, along with a new couple to the area. It was a pot luck situation as usual and everything was great. Latanya made corned beef and cabbage, and a salad. Jess and Fran made some potato pancakes and Jello, Krisela and Andrew made a meat pie, Ben and Lydia brought pizza (there was a mishap with their soup so pizza was plan B) and Titus brought beer. Though it seemed like a small guest list it was quite perfect. We had some Irish music playing in the background and all enjoyed each other's company. The food was so much better than last year and we really enjoyed spending the holiday with friends. I think I introduced St. Patrick's Day to Latanya about four years ago, and I think she has perfected her corned beef and cabbage. It was sooooo delicious.
