Re: anyone celebrating St. Patrick's Day?

  • We don't generally celebrate St. Patty's Day, neither of us are Irish and the green beer skeeves me out. 

    Since basketball starts tomorrow, I'm sure the bars and restaurants will be even more crowded, but DH has a baseball game to work anyway, so no plans for us.

  • Not on purpose and it has nothing to do with St. Patricks day, but my mom and sister are coming into town to go shopping and then my sister is staying a few nights.  Actually, my sister and H and I might go out to a bar tomorrow night!  I'll have to see if they're down.
  • I'm making Shepard's Pie & we'll probably drink a Guinness. Woo!

  • DH has a "work dinner"...so I'll be home with DS.

    ETA: I may make a run to irish McDonald's.

  • I specifically don't go out on holidays like that, cuz I don't want to deal with the crowds, especially on a work night. DH's parents are coming in to town tomorrow, so I'm sure his mom will just make dinner.

    I'll wear my green though!

    I got a Shamrock shake a few weeks ago, and it definitely didn't live up to the hype in my brain :( I was sad. So I bought some thin mints from a girl scout and that made up for it.

    I finally tried their frozen strawberry lemonade last night and I was dissapointed too.

    Is a shamrock shake like a cookies and cream thing?  Is there a crunchy texture in it or is it just straight milkshake?

    When I was in high school my girl scout troop (yes I was in scouts in high school, shut up) pitched this idea to McDonalds - to put thin mints in the Mc Flurries. Unfortunately, they didn't go for it.

  • We had corned beef and cabbage on dinner Sunday night since DH has a softball game tomorrow night.  We cooked the corned beef on the grill and it was yummy!

  • Apparently in honor of st. patricks day my office is getting chinese takeout. 

    That night I will be too busy baking and cooking for the shower I'm throwing this weekend to even think about going out. 

  • I don't think we have ever gone out for St. Patricks day. I have a green dress I am wearing though.

  • If I manage to get to the grocery store today, I'm getting corned beef and cabbage to put in the crock pot for tomorrow.  I hope the smell doesn't make my pregnant self get ill.

  • You guys are all crazy.  I'm going for the mcburgers and mcfries.
  • Nothing on our end. The Irish pub I worked at last summer needed some extra help so DH is bartending which rocks because he'll make way better money there than this other job. They've also tentatively offered him a job as long as they can work with his school schedule.

    I'll be sitting at home. I know my mom wants corned beef and cabbage but I don't even know where to start to make it.

  • I might be going on a pub crawl in Alabama, but I haven't decided yet since I have to work on Friday. I know I can do my job with a hangover, so I probably will do it.

  • I am making Beef and Guinness stew this week which is a total coincidence. I thought about going to Lynch's but I'm just getting too damn old to party on a work night.

  • We used to go to a huge St. Patty's Day Kegs and Eggs party in DC every year! Def going to miss that this year!

    I will be in Tampa this year, so I'm sure we will get into something!!

    I crush half a sleeve of thin mints and add them to the blender when making a milkshake. Heaven!

  • And to actually answer the question.... I will be trying to get to work early so I can get home early and avoid any potential drunkers on the road. And since I'm Irish by marriage, I will wear my shamrock socks. It is a very difficult holiday for me since I am what we have decided to call "Italian by association". lol

  • I'm not sure, but I don't have plans to right off. I guess I could put some kind of stew together--I always have Guinness in the pantry. I love corned beef, but I"m not sure DH is into it.
  • We're not going out since we're old and boring. I was going to make the Irish Carbomb cupcakes but I'm doing so well at watching what I eat I don't want the temptation.
