Belated Happy St. Patrick's Day!

March 17 was an especially lovely day, as I celebrated with my friend Anne, her adorable daughters, and my precious Libby. Anne made clever hats for the girls, and we ate corned beef and cabbage (lie. we ate frozen pizza) and made Irish soda bread (truth. but not entirely successful. new recipe, bad time management on my part, necessitating stop and start baking.)
Hope everyone out there had a lucky, happy day!

Not to Harp (get it?) on the alcohol-liver link, but St. Patrick's Day for me is incomplete without a Guinness (ok, I had two that evening). Here's a good article on how you can balance beer drinking with liver health: it is at www.askmen.com --scroll down to the Health section, and you should see an article called something like "Liver health, a beer-drinker's guide."-- talks about the health benefits of beer drinking in moderation, versus the risks--to the liver, and obesity, and gives some good tips on drinking beer sensibly.

Wishing the luck of the Irish to all of those livers out there!
