Well, Sunday’s dinner at St. Rose went pretty well. We fed about 230 people, which was definitely more than last year’s January dinner. There was leftover pork and potatoes, but I’m sure they’ll all get eaten.

Tuesday was the big corned beef and cabbage feed at St. Rose, to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. I’d never helped with or even been to one of those before, so I didn’t really understand why people seemed to think it was going to be a lot more work than the soup and sandwich dinners we’ve done. Now I know. I didn’t get in on the preparations, and I couldn’t be there at 5am like some folks were, but I was tired enough after ten hours of taking money and cleaning up afterward. A lot of people really put in a tremendous effort.
