St. Paddy's Day plans?

[93boomer]

So, I started looking for recipes for this Sunday to celebrate the "green" event. What are your plans for the big day? Cooking any special foods, drinks, or going out? I haven't decided what foods, but guiness will be in the picture. So give me some of your ideas

Guinnes one of my favorite food groups, I might just have to have a wee pint or 2! My boys like the corned beef thing I cook the veggies seperate so I'll eat them. Staying in this year so much safer that way some of those nuts are worse then on NYE!

 

[93boomer]

Sounds yummy! Yeah we don't go out either!

 

[PUSH]

I was at WDW a couple years back for it. Nothing planned this year, though.

Can I ask why Americans celebrate St Patricks day? Here in the UK we mostly leave the partying to the Irish!

We're all Irish over here.

That'll answer that then! My FIL is Irish, he left County Mayo around 50 years ago when he was 18 I think, he has no hint of an accent!

The only thing I celebrate for St Patricks is my dad's birthday To celebrate: Buca di Beppo? Olive Garden? Outback? Hmm so many things sound better than my Pizza Hut right now...I'd totally take some WDW cookies right now, in fact the entire Goofy Candy store sounds yummy! Wow that go soooo off track

My mom is 100% Irish - my dad not so much...

Probably going to start with a Guinness, then switch over to Harp because they don't make me feel full, then switch to the Miller Light with green food coloring because this night ain't cheap, then take a cab home and question my life choices.

Whew! That was a lot of sweets! You must have a sugar high about now!LOL

I'm hosting a monthly brunch. I'll make corned beef hash to go with the eggs and pancakes. Irish beer and whiskey will probably be consumed, along with Irish coffee.

Or we just like to have a reason to celebrate and party!!

We also celebrate Cinco de Mayo as if we're all Mexican, and we're all Italian on Columbus Day.

Last year we went to a local Irish restaurant, they had dinner and Irish folk music. It was fun.

No plans for this year.

For many people in the U.S., Saint Patrick's Day is just an excuse to get blind drunk and act stupid.

Ha ha! That's what I suspected!

Kinda the same as Cinco De Mayo, except for that it's tequila and Mexican beer instead of whiskey and Irish beer.

If you ever want to be truly frightened by humanity. Look up Howard Stern St Patty's parade. Howard sends guys down to the parade in NYC each year, and it's quite disturbing how drunk and stupid people can be that early in the day.

being from England even I know enough about Howard Stern to NOT research that any further!

We don't even celebrate St George's day here in England!
