St Patrick's Day Celebrations

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. Do you celebrate? Will you be doing anything special? I'd love to go to Raglan Road one of these days for it, but I hear it gets a little rowdy Smile I may just stay home and make some delicious soda bread. Here's the recipe I love in case you'd like to do the same!

I'm part Irish on both sides of the family, but I don't do much on St. Patrick's Day. I'm offended by all the people with not a drop of Irish blood who use my ancestors' holiday as an excuse to get drunk on cheap green non-Irish beer. (Look out, Mexicans! They want Cinco de Mayo, too!)

Yum, that recipe sounds delicious!

We were actually in WDW last St. Patrick's Day, but since we had our toddler we didn't do much to celebrate except for to go to the Magic Kingdom! biggrin

This year we MAY go downtown for a parade, but that's it!

I kinda get that. I tend to do some kind of cultural observation, but otherwise kinda feel like I'm horning in on someone else's celebration Smile I try and take it as an opportunity to learn, instead of just an excuse to drink. And I never could get past that whole green beer thing!

Do you ever observe or celebrate your heritage with special dishes?

The kids and I are going to be gone over the weekend, but I bought a Corned Beef and Cabbage to toss into the crock pot for tonight!
