About the only tradition I adhere to is black-eyed peas on New Year's
Day. I also like to make chili on Super Bowl Sunday, but I didn't do
that this year because I hate the idea of getting into a rut.

The menu I'm planning for St. Patrick's Day is:

APPETIZER
Oysters & Cabbage

SOUP
Ballymaloe watercress soup

MAIN COURSE
Cod and New Potatoes with Parsley-Garlic Butter
Pan-Cooked Radishes and Peas

DRIFTING TOWARD DESSERT
Hot Irish Soda Bread with Homemade Butter
Irish Cheese[1]
Fruit[1]
Sweet Whiskey Ham

DESSERT
Chocolate Guinness Pudding
