Normally I make corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, and Irish soda bread and/or barm brack. After supper we all watch our beloved VHS recording of Riverdance and the kids all try to dance along. I also have a video of Irish rail journeys that I sometimes watch too. And sometime during the day, I try to read out loud the poem "Patrick's Breastplate" and maybe also sing Be Thou My Vision. Is that going overboard?Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256609816116022592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966669004247225428.post-81505174621986684122011-03-17T16:30:41.569-07:002011-03-17T16:30:41.569-07:00I love Binky in his cute hat!

I'm making an Irish dinner tonight - Shepherd's Pie, cabbage, Irish Soda Bread (bought at KS because mine turns out like a rock too!) and some of the brownies I kept for us to have for dessert. I love holiday food :)Jennifer ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/10184317519833461064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966669004247225428.post-88629330901630325392011-03-17T09:45:51.847-07:002011-03-17T09:45:51.847-07:00We always have corned beef and cabbage and dependi...We always have corned beef and cabbage and depending on the day it falls on green pancakes. This year I started at the beginning of the week and made all new recipes from Betty Crocker. Grasshopper Fudge cake was first(yummy but next time will use less mint). Kirk said he wasn't sure if he was eating cake or toothpaste. Then an amazing Slow Cooker Beer and Cheese Potato Chowder which I will be making again. I made green white and chocolate chip cookies yesterday for Justin's class and for dinner I tried Irish Brown Bread(not sure what we think of the bread yet, maybe with lots of jelly it will be better). Today we will have "Taste a Rainbow" cupcakes (from Family Fun) And because of a crazy evening we will have our Corned Beef and Cabbage tomorrow night (trying out a new recipe in slow cooker with beer).Andrea Downshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823610671899735148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966669004247225428.post-62583895878652566972011-03-17T09:02:27.366-07:002011-03-17T09:02:27.366-07:00The kids and I wear green and pinch each other if ...The kids and I wear green and pinch each other if we're not wearing it...same with my husband when he gets home from work. My son, who is four, told me just a little while ago, "Mommy, your butt's not wearing green." Then he proceeded to pinch me through my black pants (I AM wearing a green top).Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191990097530286346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966669004247225428.post-59160153658678127642011-03-17T08:26:20.822-07:002011-03-17T08:26:20.822-07:00What a fun post, Evangeline!

I can't wait to tell my kids who love those books. :)<br />As for celebrating, with all our food issues, I'm careful on what is served. Our main tradition is to wear green, unless you want to be pinched or tickled. I would have loved the leprechaun trap a couple of years ago, maybe. :) <br />So enjoy your writing!Jeanne Takenakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259877343251555463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966669004247225428.post-4530187080305793872011-03-16T14:24:12.962-07:002011-03-16T14:24:12.962-07:00I drink Shamrock Shakes. :) That's how I roll...I drink Shamrock Shakes. :) That's how I roll. :)Amy (ArtsyBookishGal)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07339780609570583055noreply@blogger.com
