If I'm up for it, I wear green and cook corned beef, potatoes, and cabbage for myself (just the cabbage and potatoes for Mr. Vegetarian). Of course, it always makes me miss Mom because it was her favorite holiday....
A hook, a book, and a good cup of coffee.... |

Ohh, I may have to start something new now that I have a new family as well. Haven't done anything special for St. Patty's day since college oh so long ago. I like the idea of dying the potatoes green. May have to look into that.
Thanks for the ideas.

i enjoy making corned beef and cabbage, carrots and potatoes. my ex is always asking me how to make it my way! i put a mustard brown sugar glaze on the corned beef after it's cooked and bake it a bit..
his dad used to love the corned beef- his mom wouldn't eat it so i always sent some to Dad-Dad passed last summer so it may cause a moment's pause for my kids this year!
i love to make soda bread and maybe will do that cuz i have been baking a lot lately!(and eating...booooo!)
when i was raising my kids, i decorated for each holiday. the past few years i haven't and i am feeling the need to start again!!!!!!
i, somehow, cannot do green potatoes....cookies maybe!!!!

I like to cook & decorate something special for each of the holidays when they come. It seems like the month goes by easier. I make green eggs & ham. I'm sure that's not St. Paddy's but at least I hit the green theme LOL If the day is slower than shamrock sugar cookies are good with a irish cup of tea!!!

I bake corn beef and cabbage or Irish stew, depending on my mood. I decorate the kitchen using my grandmother's green embroidered linen tablecloth, and a few other little decorations. I put cut daffodils on the table. The last two years, I bake MaryJane's recipe for soda bread, and play "Irish music" on my Ipod using AOL radio. The weirdest thing is how we get these pesky leprecauns in our house. The trouble started when my daughter made a leprecaun trap in school a few years ago, and the little elves keep returning, causing all kinds of havoc. They have dyed the water in the toilets green, put shamrock stickers all over mirrors, and left green footprints in my kitchen! Wonder if they will return this year? DD must make a better trap... ;)

Nicole, I had that happen when I was a kid too; the trouble started when my first-grade teacher promised a treat to any kid who captured a leprechaun, and my mom conjured one for me.
Things were never really the same after that!
Oh, and thanks to this thread I've been eating corned beef sandwiches for three days. 
A hook, a book, and a good cup of coffee.... |

Just thought I'd share our soon to be 50 year tradition. We were married on that day and we are having a 50th anniversary party. Happy day to all of you!

Gotta listen to my Celtic music. I grew up on it and just love it. I wear green and decorate a little. Bake Shamrock shaped cookies that are tinted green, bake Irish soda bread and cook up a traditional Irish supper.
