Any St Pattys Day Party Ideas?

Hi A.-

I am of irish descent...and every st paddy's day I make irish soda bread and scones (all kinds of recipes out there...but for THIS day I stick to the 'traditional' ones...as my ancestors may have made it). I also make the 'corned beef and cabbage'...which my kids 'tolerate', but I LOVE! I also make colcannon...which is basically mashed potatoes with leeks and bacon and TONS of butter...the kids request this year round - but anything slathered in butter is good...lol

I drink a good stout (if I can find it) or a dark ale (and throw a few IN with the corned beef for that matter).

I used to leave the kids a 'pot of gold' wrapped candies...

Have Fun!
Erin go braugh!!!

Could do a pub crawl with friends/relatives dressed in green or irish type clothes.

Whiskey
Irish Stew
bacon, beef & cabbage

Make the pot of corned beef and cabbage. Have some Guinnes, Baileys and some Jamesons on hand. Everyone should have their green hat or a button. Play some celtic music, drunk people like to try to jig... it's pretty funny.
I'm Irish too, and once everyone has a few drinks they all become Irish and it just goes from there. Fun times. Enjoy.
Usually everyone drinks till they are pist and then the corned beef and cabbage tastes absolutely delicious.
