Meanwhile the rest of us will just keep on loving you until you feel better about yourself.

I got on Diaryland today....whoo hoo...wonder how long that will last? Anyway....I bet Wolf got lots of great kudos for the rocking green hair at school. Hope your Jewish American Irish dinner was a big hit. I went to the grocery store today and forgot it was St. Pat's so I didn't wear any green. My Irish ancestors must be throwing potatoes at me now!

You know, I am a total Jane Austen fan, and I'd simply LOVE to be able to step back in time and experience the reality of the lifestyle.

However, like you, I realize that the reality means outhouses and chamber pots and dying of stupid things that can be cured now in a week. Not to mention childbed fever and lovely stuff like that! And the doctors! The leeches! The bloodletting! *Shudder*

So yeah, I'm with you, I don't think about the mechanics of getting there, (though I do worry about taking enough gold and silver to allow me to survive comfortably) but I certainly realize that I'd be hard pressed to survive the initial stench. However, once I skipped a few baths myself, I'm sure I'd do just fine! *LOL*

Oh, and if anyone wants to experience that particular aroma of unwashed masses, just go to a Rainbow Gathering. Trust me.

Well, good, if it's not really Irish no one will mind that I am doing the oven version as I have a track meet to attend this afternoon and didn't want to worry about a pot on the stove. A nice slow roast of the corned beef, onions, carrots potatoes, garlic and of course, cabbage. I did not buy the soda bread as we have nice loaf of sturdy sour dough to sop of the goodness with. But what I am REALLY waiting for is tomorrow's Reuben. I've got the dark rye, the swiss cheese, the Bavarian sauerkraut and a wee bottle of Thousand Island dressing. Wee because I realized we haven't used the Thousand Island I bought previously for this event and , let's just say it's a bit past it's expiration date. Mmmm, I can't wait.

I'm wearing green socks. And that's as far as I'm going. LOL! I haven't a smidge of Irish. Mostly just pirate and you know how THOSE people are!

As much as I love Reubens, I've given up cooking corned beef because I just don't like it unless it's shaved in thin slices and served on toasted rye with sauerkraut, swiss cheese and thousand island dressing. So, it's pot roast for us this evening.

I agree about time travel. I always think of the filth and stink, and gag, I am sure the food would be hideous. All moldy and maggoty and stuff. I have to say, I completely forgot about not being immunized to the common germs. Wonder if our smallpox vaccinations would work? EWWWWWWWW on the whole thing.
