Sure and begorrah, Saint Paddy\u2019s day is upon us again. What began as a religious feast day to commemorate the death of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, has become a globally recognized celebration of all things Irish.<\/p>\n

May the leprechauns dance over your bed and bring you sweet dreams.<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Get into the spirit! Try classic Irish recipes, attend parades, festivals, and even dance a little jig.<\/h2>\n

\"\"Did you know 40 lbs of green dye is added<\/a> to the Chicago River? Or that 62% of Americans plan to celebrate Saint Patrick\u2019s day?<\/p>\n

\"\"Catch a parade<\/a>. New York, Boston, Chicago and Savannah all host famous parades but most cities have pretty fun parades the\u00a0whole family can enjoy.\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Attend a Celtic festival<\/a>. These occur all year in various locations and are a fun way to sample classic Irish cooking, crafts and dancing.<\/p>\n

\"\"Include the children with these craft ideas<\/a> to help them learn and enjoy the rich history of the Irish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Some of us may want to \u201csample\u201d a green beer or as the Irish might say<\/a>, \u201cHave a gargle.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Irish sayings, proverbs<\/a> and toasts<\/a> are prodigious and well known. They evoke great emotion as well as a hearty sense of humor. Who hasn\u2019t raised a glass at a wedding or event and offered a classic Irish blessing?<\/p>\n

May your troubles be less and your blessings be more. <\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
And nothing but happiness come through your door.<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n

Thirty percent of us intend to cook a classic Irish meal to celebrate.<\/h2>\n

Many folks naturally think to make\u00a0Corned Beef and Cabbage<\/a>. Irish dishes often include ingredients such as lamb, beef, potatoes (well, really anything<\/em> with potatoes works). Irish foods are typically hearty foods in the form of stews and meat-based pies that are tasty all year round. And, on Saint Patrick’s Day, anything green such as asparagus or peas fit the “all things green” theme.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy a fun-filled Saint Patrick\u2019s Day. We found one more (oh so many gems) of a lovely blessing we thought appropriate from our DinnerTime family.<\/p>\n
