@RiotDemon She’s very nice! She loves to cook and I like to eat so it works out well. My daughter has moved in just across the way with her family too, so I’m rolling in clover (so-to-speak) when it comes to dinner time.
In Manhattan, esp on weekday working days, they (esp the younger lawyers and finance people), start before 8am.
Trying to stay Irish-sourced is cool, but anything alcoholic and consumable will do.
The remainder of the day(s) is kinda various continual streams.
They have these practices perfected.
Normal mortals might wish to avoid being near them, on the 16th-17th, and for some days after.
@dashcloud if you’re past your bailies dropped into Guinness phase and chug till you vomit phase in life try a more traditional Irish drink: the boilermaker. Pour a shot of Irish whiskey into an Irish Stout and sip on it . It’s quite tasty and won’t curdle.
@dashcloud I just came back from a brief… breakfast… with some friends at a local Irish place. I had a couple of draft (draught?) Kilkennys. Highly recommended!
I don’t have any Irish heritage as far as I’m aware, but my husband and one of my dogs (maybe both) have some Irish roots. So, happy St. Patricks Day from Torben!
Since Zephyr is half Irish Wolfhound I declared St Patrick’s Day his birthday. So we are having a cookout/ boardgaming/ St Patrick’s Day/ birthday party, which will be starting any minute now. The menu is pretty varied though, pork ribs, bratwurst, red and black beans, and colcannon. I’m of Irish descent, long curly red hair and plenty of freckles. However Irish food doesn’t hold much appeal for me. In fact I remember years ago when we were getting ready to go to Europe for the first time, I was reading a Bon Appetit article. The writer’s husband asked her “what’s Irish food like?” And she replied “quite like British food, only not so spicy.”
Zephyr, Tempest and our guest Chingoo waiting for the party to start.
You all know, of course, how it was that St. Patrick landed in Ireland. He had a thirst, you know, and a gallon he drank from the quart, and laid it back full on the table. Christy Moore explains it in song. It doesn’t get much airplay, for some reason.
It’s a little late for this, but if anyone’s still around:
Irishman’s First Drink With His Son
While reading an article last night about fathers and sons, memories came flooding back to the time I took me son out for his first pint. Off we went to our local pub only two blocks from the cottage. I got him a Guinness. He didn’t like it, so I drank it.
Then I got him a Kilkenny’s, he didn’t like that either, so I drank it.
Finally, I thought he might like some Harp Lager? He didn’t. I drank it.
I thought maybe he’d like whiskey better than beer so I tried a Tullamore Dew. Nope!
In desperation, I had him try that rare Redbreast, Ireland’s finest. He wouldn’t even smell it.
What could I do but drink it?
By the time I realized he just didn’t like to drink, I was so freakin’ shit-faced I could hardly push his stroller back home!

If you’re after having a giggle, watch Darby O’Gill and the Little People (Disney, 1959). A 28 year old Sean Connery stars as Michael McBride. He sings!
@kdemo
Sad?
I’m sowwy. : (
@kdemo Why sad face? I’m listening to music.
@OldCatLady
Leave it to you. So good. Thanks!
@f00l - Just the thought of green beer.
@kdemo
Ok. I get it.
Let’s skip the green beer.

@f00l Oh great. Now I have that stupid double pleasure song stuck in my head.
@f00l @zachdecker Which led to… the most rewarding flavor in this man’s world… …
Who is having corned beef and cabbage? I am, assuming the store has some left. Forgot to buy it.
/giphy cabbage
@RiotDemon I already did, tonight my neighbor brought some over for me. She can’t cook tomorrow so I got an early treat!
@RiotDemon Aaaaaugh! Vicious herbivore!
@RiotDemon @therealjrn That’s some fuckedup dog
@cranky1950 @mehcuda67
Really wanted this gif, but I was too busy to really search.
@therealjrn nice neighbor! I had some earlier in the week. Local restaurant had a special. Just made me want more! Love that stuff.

Does anyone have a St. Patrick’s Day drink different than Guiness & Baileys?
If so, I’d love to hear about it!
@dashcloud A less complicated way of thinking about St. Patrick’s Day drink is as follows:
St. Patrick’s Day: drink.

@dashcloud @rtjhnstn If anyone else is having trouble seeing the Irish Whiskey pic… Here it is:
@dashcloud The buttery nipple… Irish Creme and Butterscotch Schnapps.

St. Patrick also drove the frogs into the bogs and down to hell with a holy spell he drove out all the snakes. That’s another song.

And an Irishman is never drunk as long as he can still hold onto a blade of grass to keep from falling off the earth.
