I love this holiday, everyone is Irish on St. Patty's Day! There are many Irish folks in our area and we boast of some of the largest St. Patty's Day Parades in the east. In a little coal town called Girardville, is a great parade and fun! And it's a couple hours long, so be ready! http://pahomepage.com/fulltext/?nxd_id=129844
But, if you can't go and still want to join in the fun, a staple here is corned beef and cabbage and is a great easy dish to make if you have company as I do it in the slow cooker.
