Tomorrow is St. Patties day and you know, I've never had a green beer. I probably won't start tomorrow but I've never really been to a St. Patrick's Day party either and I have significant Irish ancestry. My mother's maiden name was Green (I never use my mother's maiden name in passwords and such so it is safe to tell you, except that identity thieves can now rule that one out. Also, my identity won't do you any good as I have no credit or actual money.).
I'm wondering if they drink green beer in Ireland. I'm thinking they probably don't. Wouldn't potato soup and soda bread be more authentic than green beer and corned beef? Didn't Saint Patrick have something to do with a potato famine and some snakes?
Lets all have a pint and banish some snakes tomorrow.

Marilyn, yes, potato soup and shepherd's pie is more authentic! My St. Patty's Day celebration is tomorrow...but I have a "party" post up! Come by! :)
I've got a good soda bread recipe and directions if you would like it.
Mary:I did :) Those wreaths are pretty too but I'm hoping you post a pic of the one you make.
Jamie: Yes please. I have a recipe but I don't think it's a very good one. I'll pop over and ask on your blog.
Love your little aside about not having anything for people to steal. I say that all the time!
I'm making corned beef and cabbage tonight instead of tomorrow-I might be going to an "Irish" pub downtown with friends and don't want to miss out on my yearly corned beef indulgence.
I've never been all that big on making food green that isn't supposed to be green.
