Personal Notes:
In honor of Mary's Irish heritage! Colcannon is an Irish dish that is rich in tradition and history. It's traditionally made on All Saints Day or Halloween and some families would leave out a plate of it, with a lump of butter in the center for the fairies and the ghosts. I make it for St. Patrick's day to accompany the corned beef and Guinness Stout.
