Today is St. Patrick’s Day

We are heading back into the Saucy-archive for today's celebration. There are 2 pertinent posts – Corning Beef – apparently corn referred to a large granule, like a pellet of coarse salt. Last year’s post on cabbage with an implicit promise at the end of it would lead a person to believe that Guinness or green beer or even Jamison’s Whiskey would have been discussed this year.

And those would have all been good subjects – tonight will be a DUI fest, with troopers racking up more drunk driving arrests than any other day of the year. Is that because more people are drinking and driving or because more police are on the roads available to make arrests? A total chicken and egg breathalyzer conundrum.

Instead because I am in the middle of reading and writing about tea along with the fact most of my word-energy is being spent introducing Portland Farmers Market’s new vendors to the Market’s Facebook community. You can read these short pieces here if you Faceboook and these days, who doesn’t?

After this post, I will be writing about Kombucha – have you seen pictures of this stuff on the internets? Truly disturbing. And if everything Kombucha proponents say is true, tomorrow's St. Paddy's revelers might be gulping the stuff down. However, the thought of ‘good for you’, ‘healthy’, ‘detoxing my liver’ are all deeply fascinating food concepts and if I ever figure how to address them in a 500 word post, I will do so.
