So, what are your plans for St. Paddy's Day

[susanp6]

Having some Irish food&drink and listening to traditional Irish music

I will work until about 4pm and then head into Manhattan. Have dinner and drink until my face falls off, and then go to see the Unforgettable Fire (u2 tribute band) in Times Square and continue drinking until my arm falls off.

So, if you're in manhattan and see a one armed, faceless, drunk man, feel free to say "Hello" and offer to buy me a beer.

Re: Re: So, what are your plans for St. Paddy's Day

skip the green beer have a guinness

Here is my recipe for Irish Soda Bread
2.5 cup flour
1.5 cup raisins (soak them in boiling water for a few minutes to plump them up then drain well)
5 tbs sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter


sift (though I never do) the flour soda baking powder and sugar

Cut in butter until it looks like coarse crumbs
Add raisins and buttermilk
Stir until combined
Shape into a ball- I notch it so I get the scone triangles
place on a greased sheet or pie plate

Bake for 15 minutes at 400
30 more minutes at 375

It's super easy to make

Thanks redkat for the recipes. They sound good!

Make that three. I'll be doing exactly the same on St. Patrick's Day as I did on St. Andrew's Day, as I did on St. David's Day and as I did on St. George's Day-nowt.

Who's the patron saint of the USA? Do you guys do anything on his day?

I will be bellied up to the bar at El Torito drinking margaritas and eating nachos.

Scones are a sweet biscuit.

I don't think they have one.....I believe the US is devoted to Mary though in the Catholic Church...

And shame on you for doing nothing on St Pats...don't make me come up there

Are you planning on expanding your Holy Irish Empire?

Still, at least you could educate us all here on the differences between an NI accent and a Scottish one.

D-A-N-C-I-N-G? All hail our new leader with his fantastical new cultural advancements to lead our noble county into a Golden Age as part of the glorious Holy Irish Empire!!

The Holy Irish Empire will be a glorious age indeed
