Happy St. Patrick's Day

[Disneylover99]

We made green French toast. That's the extent of our celebration.
Anybody else celebrating today?

 

[Micca]

I'm in! Not sure there will be much celebrating unless that's the same as food & drink.

Home all day cooking corned beef since 9:00 am with the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade on in the background.

Growing up my Irish mother would make it once a week. My stomach couldn’t handle that now!

Yep. Wearing green, a leprechaun left us treats in the shape of an Irish flag:



and I had our traditional St. Patrick's Day breakfast - a Lucky Charm's sundae:



(I also made "Irish nachos" for lunch, but I didn't think to take a picture of those.)

Yep, a sit down dinner for 12 tonight. Hubby is currently cooking the corned beef, cabbage and potatoes and I made my Shepherd's Pie earlier and just have to pop it in the oven in about an hour. Have our rye bread and our Irish Soda Bread. Had a green bagel for breakfast. Oh, and have the Guinness on hand. I didn't know what to make for dessert so I made a carrot cake...have no idea if that is representative of the holiday but made cream cheese frosting to go with it and put green and orange sugar sprinkles on top!

And I am wearing my leprechaun hat lol.

Happy St. Patrick's Day all.

Wearing green. Went to daily Mass in which St Patrick was commemorated. No special food or drink.

Wearing green and my green clover necklace but saving the corned beef for Sunday dinner.

Nope, just got back from Clearwater Beach. Usually if I am working on St. Patty's day, I wear Orange.

I could be wrong but isn't that what Irish Protestants wear? I don't know a lot about Irish history...

Yes, that is correct. Irish Catholics wear green. Irish Protestants wear Orange. My ancestors are Irish Protestants.

One of the Korean groups I follow posted this today. I thought it was interesting.

Started with green bagel. Then Beer Festival! Lots dressed up, Irish dancing, costume contests, lots of beer! FUN!

Cool! I had no idea some people wore orange. I just assumed everyone wore green.

But they are not wearing orange to celebrate St. Patrick.
