Here's to the Irish !

[ironglow]

  Hat's off to the Irish today..their special day..

   I can only claim a bit of Irish blood through my maternal grandmother, who oin her own words was "as Irish as Paddy's pig"..

 ... Must be an old Irish axiom...

Yeah, I’d like to personally thank Ireland for taking rosie odonnell back… good riddance to the hag

     We usually go a restaurant for a St. Paddy's meal but today have not decided yet.
A few years back we went to a St. Paddy's buffet which was pretty good.

 Ah yes!  ..The wearing of the green..

  ..And for myself or any others whose descent is from the Scottish side, we have April 6th, where we are to wear some sort of tartan, preferrably
  our own.

  April 6th is the anniversary of the Treaty of Arbroath..when Scotland assured herself of another few hundred years of independence.

  So wear a bit of your tartan on April 6th   ... For instance, here's a sample of mine.

Classic St. Patrick’s day stop…the Landmark Tavern in Hell’s Kitchen

An Irish toast:

May those who love us, love us,
and those who don't, may God turn their hearts,
and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles
so we'll know them by their limping.

 No, can't say as I have...but there are many gastronomic joys in which I have not partaken...
