St. Patty's Day

I almost forgot that its a week from today!  Is anyone going out?  I'd kind of like to go to the parade in Southie since we haven't gone I'm guessing it could be an interesting experience...

Re: St. Patty's Day

  • I usually don't do anything for St. Patrick's day, except remember to wear green so I don't get pinched!
  • In the past I liked going out for dinner.  Get a pint of (green) beer and some sheperd's pie.

    Guess thats not an option this year.

    The parade sounds like a fun thing to do at least once.

  • If I get a chance, I'll go out on St. Patrick's Day because at midnight (12AM 3/18 - A/W moment) I celebrate my birthday!! Party!!!

    I think this year I might go to Mr. Dooley's in the Financial District. It's my favorite pub.

  • The ILs always make corned beef and cabbage so we'll be going there on Sunday for that. Blaahhhh. At least I'll get to see my niece!

  • We don't typically do anything although a few years ago it was a tradition to go to Harpoon Fest and we always had a blast. We haven't been in a few years though.
  • I'm going out with friends from work, but it's really just a coincidence that it's St Patty's Day...it was the only day next week we could all go out

  • We live in Southie and will be around Sunday, we were invited to party but we're not having our own. We're not 100% sure what we're doing yet but I'm not real into it like the rest of Southie.

    This sounds like a great idea, but I saw that it was REALLY early this year, last weekend I think.

    Laina, you must have had a fun 21st birthday going out at midnight on St. Patty's day!

    Unfortunately, I didn't do anything fun on St. Patty's day that year. Sad I think I actually went to Fire and Ice with my parents.

    For my 23rd birthday I went to Vegas with a former friend of mine whose birthday was 4 days before mine. That was the best vacation!! St. Patty's in Vegas is soooo much fun! And insane. Hmmm, room service buffalo wings at 3AM.

  • I eat green bagels!  But I would eat a bagel every day of my life if possible :)  I've never been the the parade, but I've heard that it is really fun!
  • We usually went out when we lived in Boston- I wouldn't drink the green beer though DH would! I already have enough iffy colored urine as it is due to kidney stones, I don't need food dye helping matters! Smile

    I don't know what we'll do this year. The Irish pride isn't quite what it was in Boston down here!

  • We never do anything....lame I guess...ha ha ha. 
  • I'm 1/2 Irish but I am totally guilty of not doing anything besides trying to war green if I go out (school, work, etc).

    But, since I am doing my schoolwork at home this semester, I will likely not even do that.

    Irish pride FAIL. :-)

    Haha, I would imagine that's true!  We might have to celebrate just for that reason since we might move soon!

  • No plans to go out, but I will be making my corned beef and cabbage!  It is the one day every year that I make it.  DH hates it so it's not worth the trouble most of the time, but I just love it.  I'm making it Tuesday so I can have leftovers for lunch and dinner on St. Patrick's Day.
  • I'll probably make lots of green desserts for work, but other than that not too much.

    I'm thinking of making corned beef and cabbage, even though DH says he doesn't like it. We will see if I have the energy :-)

  • We made Guinness beef stew and Cooking Light's version of brown bread today.  It was GOOD!  I never really celebrated because I thought I wasn't of Irish descent.  However, my grandmother passed away last year and I found out that the great grandmother I grew up with was actually not my grandmother's mother.  My great-grandfather had my grandmother with an Irish woman who ended up leaving my grandmother with my great-grandfather  He then married the great-grandmother I always knew.  Long story short, my grandmother was half Irish and I never knew!  So, I figured I'd celebrate my Irish heritage this year.
