Happy St. Paddy's Day and Belated Happy Pi (pie) Day!

Although, I used to work by 5th avenue and have seen a lot of drunk St. Patrick's Day revelers at 10am, drinking beer contained in McDonald's Supersize cups - I have never celebrated the great New York City Drinking Holiday properly. 

They say Irish Food is bad food. Truth be told, it isn’t usually in the usual cuisine choices. It was really going to be a regular Tuesday night for us when I woke up to an email from Sara asking if we wanted to come to eat with her at the Irish Pub PJ Horgan’s. I know from my culture to never say no to a pregnant lady craving (haha) so I took my half-Irish husband to the quintet that we were.

We sampled the following dishes:

Appetizer Combo Platter

Chicken Pot Pie

Bangers and Mash

Shepherd’s Pie

 

Fish and Chips

And it won’t be an Irish meal if I don’t wash it down with a pint.

You see, i am dreaming about someone else's dinner because I ordered the fish and chips - and once the monstrous chicken pot pie came out in that glorious golden brown dome of dough, I was passionately jealous. Hmpf! I wanted to keep eating it but i was diagonally across from this wonderful dish that I had to eat what I am served. You know, tiger mother lessons never really left me, even if my real tiger mother lives halfway across the globe from from New York City.

So yeah. I still ache for that chicken pot pie. The shepherd's pie was good too. mmm. Thank you to Roxwriting and Sara Markel-Gonzalez for letting me taste a bit of Irish heaven. Follow Roxwriting follow the Chicken Pot Pie to Sunnyside.

I must say, we had a Happy Pi Day and St Paddy’s Day Celebration in one.
