Hello, did you all have a nice weekend? It’s getting a little easier to write the column because there is stuff going on.

Saturday, Sept 18th Happy St. Patrick’s Day, lol only kidding. George at Lakeview Pizzeria, 23 Crestwood Rd, Lake Huntington, is cooking his famous corn beef and cabbage dinner, it’s ½ way to St. Paddy’s Day. Dinner starts at 4:30 and will be served until they sell out. Call ahead for reservations and take out (845) 932-8131. I wish they sold Irish soda bread all year round, maybe it’s a good thing that they don’t, I would be eating it all the time.
