The week or so before or the week or so after St. Patrick's Day leaves me wanting to punch people in the face.
"Aren't you wearing your skirt a little early? St. Pats isn't until the 17th!"
"St. Pats is over dude, why are you still wearing a skirt?"
Makes me want to reach down somebody's throat, grab their spleen, and yank them inside out!
Not that I'd ever do that any more. Lately, I've just been dealing with these remarks for the past week or so with all the quiet dignity I can muster. Well, mostly. I slip up. But I've kept my fits of temper to words only.

This will be my first "St. Patrick's season" kilted. I hadn't thought of this happening. But, I can certainly see the potential. I almost punched a guy in the face in early November for telling me Halloween was over. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!

Oh I HATE that too. But I didn't mention it because this is a St. Pats thread.

What you need for a good St Paddy's Day Party:
Corned Beef and Cabbage (boil it yourself, don't get that dog chow wanna be corned beef out of a can stuff)
A few good friends
A couple six packs of Guinness
Yep, that looks about right.

While a good thing to do (and I've got my corned beef in the fridge right now) it is as Irish as wearing your kilt (i.e. it's not).

Absolutely right, only the wealthy could ever afford Corned Beef (I'm told most Irish of old celebraqted with Turkey or some other fowl) but Soda Bread on the other hand,,, I could just about live on fresh baked Soda Bread and stew.

Corned beef and cabbage isn't really traditional. The traditional is Irish bacon (lean back bacon) and cabbage. Corned beef is an American alteration brought about because the Irish immigrants couldn't afford Irish bacon and their Jewish neighbors introduced them to the much cheaper corned beef.

Yep. I celebrate my Irish-American heritage with corned beef & cabbage. The best way to do it is to start it in the morning in a crock pot with apple cider. Let it cook all day, then remove it from the liquid and stick it in a roasting pan and bake it at 375 degrees Farenheit for 30 minutes or so. Ok, now I'm hungry.
