The Brick and I only have a few tablespoons of Irish blood each -- but it starts bubbling on this day. Chicago's dyed its water green, and all's well with the world.
We'll watch an Irish movie:
(This lovely scene is from P.S. I Love You)
And have some corned beef and colcannon to celebrate.
You can make your own Irish dishes, including corned beef and cabbage (which is really an American Irish dish), colcannon, Irish stew (stobhach), tea brack or Kerry Apple cake -- recipes are on our sister blog, Holiday Goodies. And they're easy to make; our ancestors had no more time to mess around than we do. Eton Mess, Burnt Oranges and Dublin Coddle are further proof of that.
And hats off to the patron saint and his beautiful, beguiling country.
Happy St. Patrick's Day -- Erin Go Bragh
