I spent a week in Ireland,
Where 25% of my roots are anchored.
There was endless Guiness!
There were delicious mussels!
There was memorable beef stew!
There was no corned beef!
So this year,
I'm going rogue
Skipping salty beef
Avoiding briny cabbage.
I'm going to skip the meal
Created by immigrants
In favor of a meal
Of those who stayed behind!

Have a great St. Patrick's Day weekend! My wife lived in Ireland and because of this she tends to celebrate St. Patrick's Day much differently than all of our friends. Enjoy your day and the St. Patrick's Day weekend!
Beef stew or mussels?
Someday I want to visit Ireland.
This makes me want to visit Ireland and eat Irish mussels and Irish beef stew. I hope your meal is as tasty as those you remember. Were you able to go to the places your ancestors came from?
My dad was born on St. Patrick's Day and this is our first one without celebration. Funny because I taught in Pearl River where the parade is 2nd only to NYC and I've never been there. Even without my dad I wouldn't be there. Nothing about this holiday works for me... way too much excuse to get drunk...
