Last week Mrs. C wanted to go to a German restaurant in New Britain: over an hour away. We never made it, so yesterday, Saturday, she brought it up again. We had eaten lunch late, and so a long drive to dinner wouldn't be too bad. In the event we got their at about 7:00 PM, and it was packed. The parking lot was filled, and the street parking was, too.
Mrs. C is notoriously indecisive, and picky. We drove up the road to a mall area where there are numerous places to dine. "Here?" "No." "Here?" "Na-a-a-ah." We finally ended up driving another twenty minutes to Rein's Deli in Vernon, an authentic NY Jewish deli. I had a corned-beef reuben. To match the corned beef I had last week for St. Patrick's Day. And today we go to the St. Patrick's Day parade in Mystic. Perhaps. Here it is 11:00 AM and the parade starts at 1:00. Oh, and I just learned we're having corned beef for dinner at the in-law's. Hunh.
I do happen to be German on my maternal grandmother's side (her parents were from Germany) and she married an Irishman (came over when he was two). So I'm all over this stuff. My paternal side is Scots-Irish, but have been in America pre-dating the Civil War.
