this week's menu

so i know i'm missing st. patrick's day, but i'm doing an irish inspired menu for tomorrow. i had planned on a fish pie for tomorrow but then i remembered - i have a massive beef brisket corning for homemade corned beef and cabbage. march is definitely flying by and i lost track of the date. i also have a nice slab of roselane farm double smoked bacon that i will be turning into quiche lorraine for sunday.
