This is what the Feast of Father Sorin is all about:
The football, not the cars (It's close to primary day and the people running for ward representative have been driving around with those old school loud speaker cars. Very O Brother Where Art Thou, to say the least.). It is also the only time I can start drinking at 3:30 pm and have my wife not care. Much. If you only imbibe approximately 12 or 13 (depending on if it's a bowl year) times a year like I do, I assume you want everything as perfect as possible. If that's the case and you must get your Irish on please, respect the cascade: Take the can of Guinness out of the fridge and let it sit for at least the time it takes to drink two martini's. Take my word for it, almost room temp Guinness is better tasting than you think. Also, don't touch the glass for another ten minutes after the cascade has stopped. Give your Guinness some personal space and once it trusts you it will fulfill your desires. I'd like to thank my wife for making this post possible. When I reminded her that it was Feast day she only rolled her eyes a little. And she even took our daughter out for a while, so Daddy could get drunk in peace. Although I do feel the need to blame her for leaving me alone with Cuisinart blades:
I'll leave it to you to make the leap from Notre Dame Football to Guinness to Cuisinart. Bon chance.
