Out of Ireland have we come, great hatred, little room, maimed us at the start. I carry from my mother's womb a fanatic heart. William Butler Yeats
Wondering how to celebrate this fine holiday? Here are my top 4 ways to spend the high holy wearing of the green day
4. Party down!!
This is number 5 because well, I’m not much of a partier. But I did spend a wild St. Patrick’s Day in Charleston SC way way back in the day. There was drinking and laughing, good times with good friends and possibly a conversation with an ATF agent and a ride from local law enforcement. But it was a very long time ago and the memory is a little foggy. Other cities good for getting your Guinness groove on include New York, Boston, and Savannah.
3. Stay In with Some Telly
I never ever watch QVC. It’s just not on my radar at all. But on St. Patrick’s day I could watch it all twenty four hours. Waterford crystal, wool in every shape and form, more Connemara marble and silver jewelry than you would ever know what to do with and anything else made in Ireland that can be sold and shipped!!
But what I will be watching every minute of tonight is the four hour live from Ireland search for the Banshee on Destination Truth!!! Go Josh, I can’t wait.
2. Eat something Irish.
No not anything from yesterday’s post. But that would be a hell of a way to celebrate. So yeah, if you can, go ahead and do that. But if you can’t how about the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage. Or if you’re actually Irish some Bacon and Cabbage. And when your Irishman is famished from the afore mentioned activities, build his strength back up for the next round with some Chocolate Guinness Cake with Irish Cream Caramel Sauce.
1. Spend it with a Great Irish Themed Read
Of Course you should! If you can’t be Irish or be in Ireland, being swept away to Ireland or by an Irishman is the next best thing. And when you choose an Irishman to sweep you away we hope it will be Connor O’Driscoll. But if Connor is not enough here a list with something for everyone! St. Patrick's Day Reads
Have a glorious St. Patrick’s Day and remember “A trout in the pot is better than a salmon in the sea.”
