St. Paddy's Day approaches. This is one of my favorite holidays. There's NO gift giving, everyone Irish and non-Irish seem to embrace it, green is my favorite color and people wear a lot of green on this day. Some folks cook traditional Irish dishes. Love the green beer and WikiHow has a great article and super video about this simple process. What fun! A favorite dish is Colcannon (beach house version uses extra shallots, scallions, bacon and ham). Beef and Guinness Stew is a great alternative to Traditional Irish Stew. Be sure and have plenty of bread and butter on hand. Be festive, eat good and drink responsibly. DON'T DRIVE DRUNK! Since this is a week night, Tuesday, start early. Get with family and friends. Enjoy and embrace the Irish. Playin' a bit o' the Celtic Woman, Van Morrison, Chieftains or U2 in the backround won't hurt either!
"May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland's faith and pride.
May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide."
~Irish Blessing
