What are you planning to do for St. Patrick's Day?

[jalapeno_pretzel]

I always intend to cook something fitting the day, but then I never usually get to it. Would love to make a lentil shepherd's pie - maybe I can do that this year since it's on a weekend. Will also be drinking beer (as is normal on the weekends), but not Irish beer. Only IPAs for me. If there are Irish IPAs, I haven't found them.

Normally, St Patrick’s Day is a day I stay home and away from partiers. However, non-related plans have me in Atlantic City this weekend. Their parade was last weekend so I’m hoping it isn’t too bad.

We have 2 parties to go to on the 16th.

We'll be making corned beef and cabbage at home.

I usually make soda bread for my sister's Irish husband to enjoy on St. Patrick's Day, but this year they'll be in Clearwater to watch the Phillies play in a spring training game, so I'm not making it this year. No plans, I guess.

I am looking forward to the Corned Beef thread though.

 

[PollyannaMom]

I'll be wearing green, but nobody here likes corned beef, so we'll probably have leftovers from a Lodge event the night before. I'll put the holiday music station on, though.

I will be watching the Way Home. We already did our corned beef and cabbage this past weekend.

 

[MamaMermaid]

We will start the day with my kiddo finding his little gifts from the leprechaun (chocolate, invisible ink pen, a few new leveled readers) and then just go about the day as normal. Maybe a fun dessert or Irish soda bread.

I do loved corned beef but don't cook - here's to hoping my mom makes it!

Gonna sit at home and play Fallout New Vegas. No plans for that day

 

[tasha99]

A bunch of us are going to see an afternoon concert, then out to a tapas restaurant. That's on St Patrick's Day, but not for it. For it, I've been corning some beef for the past several days. I'll cook it, but not with cabbage. I just like to have it for ruebens and corned beef hash.

 

[dizneegirl]

Not Irish. No plans.

But I do love corned beef and cabbage, so it's a good excuse to make/eat that! And I do have some Guiness in the fridge... maybe I've just made a plan!

 

[design_mom]

I will probably wear something green, but aside from that, nothing. I do have Irish ancestry.

Just going over to my second floor window and yelling out "Megan!" like on 30 Rock.

I'm planning a 2-day trip, but I'm still ironing out all the details. I've got this urge to immerse myself in the festivities, maybe catch a parade or join in some traditional Irish celebrations. However, I need to buy tickets and figure out the logistics, tickpick. If anyone has any suggestions or insider tips for celebrating St. Paddy's Day in style, I would be grateful.
