Feast of St. Patrick and Other Holidays

As even the most non-religious person would know; Tuesday, March 17 is the Feast of St. Patrick (more commonly known as St. Patrick's Day). The past week at the warehouse has been busy with the receiving and shipping of green cabbage. We've been moving over 100 cases a day with more expected to move today and tomorrow morning. Red potatoes have also been on the move. Everybody is getting ready for that traditional meal of corned beef and cabbage with potatoes. Even though, as you read our weekly newsletter you will find that corned beef wasn't always the traditional fare of Ireland.

For my brothers at the bars who want to kick a little knowledge to impress the ladies, here are a couple of facts about St. Patrick:

1. At age 16 he was captured by Irish raiders and turned into a slave.
2. During his captivity, he was a shepherd.
3. Consecrated Bishop at age 43.
4. Was the person who divided the Country of Ireland into dioceses.

So, wherever you plan of enjoying your pint of green beer, Irish coffee, or Guinness tonight...remember, do it responsibly.

For some more off the wall facts...Today is "Lip Appreciation Day" and "National Bubble Week". So blow a few bubbles with those lips and if you really want to show some lip appreciation, give your love a romantic little peck everyday this week.
