Erin Go Bragh

If you are completely confused by that title, you are most likely not of Irish decent (Erin Go Bragh is the anglicized version of the Gaelic expression that means "Ireland forever!").  That is OKAY though because today everyone is a little Irish-- Happy St. Patrick's Day! -^_^-  My family is quite Irish on both sides so I take this holiday to heart and usually dress from head to toe in kelly green.  This year though, I decided to go a little more subtle with my green.

This Saint Patrick's day I had some grand plans in mind but unfortunately didn't plan enough in advance.  My original plans included lunch at Publican Quality Meats (my brother works there!) followed by hitting some thrift shops and such.  When I got to the train station however, the sheer madness that is St. Pat's day crowds headed downtown made me change my mind.  I swear there were hundreds of green clad people on the platform!

So instead, my Mom and I ended up grabbing lunch at a local Italian place (yikes, not very Irish of me I know!) and checking out some thrift and vintage shops nearby.  All-in-all a great St. Pats, just not what I had imagined!  Next year I think I'll host a party and make some of this and this among other things. Yum!  How did you celebrate St. Patrick's day?
