Happy St. Patrick's Day

[Voltron]

St. Patrick's Day is a day when everyone is Irish. This is well and good but what of the people of the world who aren't Irish at all and have to go back to their mundane unIrish lives after that sweet twenty-four hour period?

I think we should have off the whole week, no the []iyear[/i] off for St. Patrick's Day in honor of the Irish everywhere (because we're just that great). Instead, I can celebrate my heritage by purchasing a mint milkshake at McDonald's. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go prove to my friend Seamus that I can down a whole keg in half an hour.


Too ra loo ra loo ra!

Happy St.Patricks Day to everyone.... :D

[damnhooligan]

St Patrick's Day is to hooligans, as Halloween is to... creepy anemic goth kids. My day has come!

I'm trying to procure the Holy Trinity of Stouts (Guinness, Beamish and Murphy's) for this auspicious occasion, but I'm sh*te out of luck. Hell, I went on a Beer Run of Epic Proportions™ to Luxembourg/Belgium/France, just for some decent lambics. Alas.

I'm Irish with a splash of french.

Does anyone else have plans for tomorrow? Do you make something special on that day or do ya just wing it?

Myself, every year on St. Patrick's day I make my annual Irish Chicken and Dumpling stew. It's been a hit with the hubby and friends/guests. They (and I) have daydreamed about it since and look forward to it every year.
The recipe is simple really, I found it on the internet and after I ate it, I decided it was so damn good, it would be a tradition for me to make it every St Paddy's day.
It's the ultimate comfort food.
Here's the stew recipe:


2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
3 cups water
1 cup chopped celery
2 onions, quartered
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
5 carrots, sliced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
4 potatoes, quartered
3 cups baking mix
1 1/3 cups milk

1. In large, heavy pot, combine soup, water, chicken, celery, onion, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat about 1 1/2 hours.

2. Add potatoes and carrots; cover and cook another 30 minutes.

3. Remove chicken from pot, shred it, and return to pot. Add peas and cook only 5 minutes longer.

4. Add dumplings. To make dumplings: Mix baking mix and milk until a soft dough forms. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto BOILING stew. Simmer covered for 10 minutes, then uncover and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
Makes 4-6 servings

I highly recommend people try making it!
It's really simple and sooooo yummy. Makes the house smell like heaven!

[Mars-Chan]

Hey, don't forget, today's Mondo's birthday!!! :D

[Shreddette]

Ahh well I just finished putting all the first items in the pot to simmer for an hour and a half. Then on to the potatoes and carrots.
Dilemma: peel the potatoes, or no? Hmmm...

Is this just not interesting to you people? EH? :D

[That Matt Guy]

Another holiday, huh. Just another day at the slave drive for me.

[Shreddette]

You shoulda applied to be Irish.

[Stone Ill]

^Actually, that's the most interesting thing I've read all day!

My boyfriend and I barely acknowledged the holiday, owing to the fact that we're both sick with a virus. I'd be happily asleep right now, except I was awakened by my white trash neighbors fighting.

I'm so sick of them. Every holiday they have people over, drink too much, and get into fights. Last time it resulted in one of them getting in the car drunk, and damaging several cars in the parking lot. Unfortunately I didn't witness that one, and they claimed it was some stranger and they drove away before they could get a look at the car. Yeah, right. I was very happy to see the police show up tonight. Wish they'd have reason to freaking arrest the neighbor that seems to be the center of all of these fights.

Actually the best thing to do is put on some green and saffron, drink some Guinness or Tulley, play your pipes and wave your bear genitalia in the general direction of Buckingham Palace...
