Feel better soon, Deb!
I am Irish but it does bother me that St. Patrick's Day has become all about the beer.

I'll try to make some Irish recipe in honor of the day, and of course I'll take out my Irish music tapes and play them as long as the kids can stand it. OK, maybe I'll play them a little longer than that

I really like Irish music
This Sunday we'll be celebrating Luke's birthday and I'm serving ham and cabbage, which is my favorite Irish meal--so I'll just enjoy it a little early.
