Go all out this St. Paddy’s Day
St. Patrick’s Day is this Thursday, and we are indebted to our Irish ancestors for the richness of the heritage passed along to our entire region.
Our music, stories, food and traditions bear the stamp of the shamrock whether Irish blood flows in our veins or not.
Irish potatoes and Irish stew make regular appearances in our kitchens year-round, so why not go all out on St. Patrick’s Day and make the menu an all-Irish one?
Feel free to fine-tune these recipes anyway you like.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all.
