Feel fortunate you can get good rye bread. It's rare in Mexico. Outside of a good artesan rye bread from the States, I like the Orowheat Jewish Rye
bread. If it ain't got lots of caraway seeds, it ain't rye bread.
We went to our beer fellowship meeting tonite. We were pouring five beers. A blonde lager, an incredible Belgian saison, a red ale, an IPA and an
oatmeal stout. We didnt have corned beer but we did do a brisket in the oven. Lots of sides, of course. I did a roasted potatoes Obrien with red bell
peppers from the garden. This time I added some fresh dill, along with the olive oil, salt, pepper and tons of fresh garlic. Lots of other stuff.
Someone realized that guacamole fits at St Paddy's day, due to its color.
Entertainment was simply someone's iPod with an Irish playlist. "Bugger off" was played more than once. Lots of Irish Rover songs that I had never
heard. Flogging Molly. of course.
Not a drop of Irish Whiskey in sight. When the beer is this good and this strong, who needs whiskey?
And, thankfully, I never heard The Unicorn Song even once. If someone had played it, I would have told the bastard to bugger off.

I went skiing at Sugar Bowl on Donner Summit! Pretty grim year for snow pack, most of the mountain is already shut down and the remaing runs can't
last much longer without a March miracle storm.
I celebrated my Irish heritage with a polish sausage and a cold O'Doul's malt beverage!
I borrowed a Go Pro helmet cam, maybe I can figure out how to post a clip on the non Baja vacation forum.

Sitting here in La Paz jonesing for a corned beef and cabbage dinner. A couple of places offered it on their menu here but if I can't have my corned
beef on rye sandwiches for at least a week after I decided to pass on just being teased. The restaurants must have brined their own because I haven't
seen it in any store.

I went bowling of all things! Had a couple of shots of Jameson's in honor of the day. Hung out with friends and had a great time. Do they have bowling
in baja? Never heard of it.
