What channel was the parade on? We were at my Mom's (St. Paddy's day is also her birthday!) and she really wanted to watch it. Only parade we could find was the Hartford one. I expected it to be on 22 or 40. Maybe we were looking too late?

Thanks Jenn. No cable, she's got DISH. I'll keep an eye out for a replay.

edit: It's actually up on the WGBY website. I'll take her my laptop and let her watch it on that, or hook it up to her TV if I'm feeling industrious. Thanks again.

That's because most people don't plan ahead.

I currently have 6 briskets in the freezer.
I ususaly get 12, enough for one a month meals.
We don't always do the boiled dinner, but corned beef sandwiches.

Damn, now I'm getting hungry for a boiled dinner, and it's a meatless Friday in Lent!!!!

If you want more proof why I plan ahead, check out the price of corned beef/beef brisket on any week of the year EXCEPT the week before St Patrick's and see what the price per lb. is compared to that one week.

It will cost almost double, if not more if you want flat cut instead of point cut brisket.

My bottom line is: If you have room in the freezer, you can get enough for the whole year, and only have to pick up the veggies to go with it.
