I hope everyone has a great St. Patrick's Day. Between going to Mass, and confession hehe, I will be cooking and having a good time with family and friends.
I know, it's hard to believe this sinner goes to mass.. I am an enigma.
I will be making colcannon, and pulling the spiced beef out of the fridge. The soda bread is done. (you will have to go look those up, or msg me for the recipes).
For most people, who have no idea Who St. Patrick was..

St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is one of Christianity's most widely known figures. But for all his celebrity, his life remains somewhat of a mystery. Many of the stories traditionally associated with St. Patrick, including the famous account of his banishing all the snakes from Ireland, are false, the products of hundreds of years of exaggerated storytelling.
May you never make an enemy
When you could make a friend
Unless you meet a fox among your chickens.
May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
and I leave you with this Gaelic Toast
