Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun holiday. One of my faves. My wife already got pinched for not wearing green! Got my green on and just counting the hours to my first beer!
Have a good weekend.

We’ll be starting our pub crawl at 11 this morning to catch the bagpipe/drum band’s circuit.

Heard it was the coldest Paddy’s in 30 years. Kinda has me grumpy after the sub zero wind chill at the bus this morning. But… I am looking forward to making corned beef and cabbage and drinking some Guinness later today!

Never celebrated st Patrick’s day, but every one have fun and be safe.

I heard that too. And just 11 years ago in 2012, it was the warmest. 80 freaking degrees.

Happy St Patrick’s day everybody!

My fondest memory of St Patricks Day was when the bar I was frequenting at the time died too many kegs green and we were drinking green beer for cheap for the next couple weeks!

All you good Irish Catholics eating Corned Beef and Cabbage on a Lentin Friday??

I’m not Irish but will be raising many a’glasses tonight at my neighbor’s legendary 48 hr March Madness tip-off party.

Pastrami or corned beef? The biggest decision I plan on making today is how to build this reuben.

I think I can still taste the last one from last night.

Rolaids help that.

Best place to go eat some cornbeef tonight?

I’m looking into that around here as well. My guess that being a Irish pub, that Jimmy’s pour house in Sauk rapids will have it for sure. I think that is where my wife and I will be right after work. She will not eat corn beef or Cabbage but I’m sure she will find something else she likes there.

O’Mallys in Woodbury has been serving it all week. Today would be a tough day to try and eat there. Its going to be a madhouse. They have a heated tent outside that fills up fast and with this weather the bar will be PACKED. Everyone will be having fun but just getting a drink is difficult. So buy two at a time!!!!

Mugg’s in downtown Wahkon is doing a St Pats celebration & the normal Friday meet raffle starting at 6:00.
There is 6″ to 8″ of fresh snow but blown around & tough to measure.

Who needs luck when you’re this cute! Happy St. Patrick’s Day, from Fritz and Remi!

It’s -12 windchill, what is so Happy about it? Or is this St. Patricks way of driving the snakes from MN?

I miss Jimmy’s Pour House, loved that place for any meal, especially breakfast. St Patty’s is a good time there and it’s not a drunk fest, which is nice when going somewhere to eat.

Yeah, looking to get into a plate full on the south end of town.

Jimmy’s is really fantastic. I havent been in there in a long dang time however. Tonight at 5 O’Brian’s in Rice is having someone play bagpipes now that would be a good time, but its going to be packed so Im not going.

I knew it was a silly ? but I called them to verify that they do have corn beef and cabbage today. The guy laughed. He said Yep. It starts at 11:00. Hope they have plenty on hand. I’ll not get there until 4:30 or so. I hear a few Green Beer’s calling my name.

Green beer no thanks. But I will be making several black n tans with the Guinness

Ooh yummy…what you using for the tan lindy?

Howies in St Stephen was going to do Corned Beef for lunch but had to drop it off the special because something happened and it didnt get done in time. It will be available for super however. Im not sure Im a fan of corned beef but I cant say when I actually had it. The name just kind of bugs me LOL

I like it, but for the cost they are charging right now, no thanks. Sourkraut on the other hand is a great way to ruin corned beef. Actually kraut is a great way to ruin anything lol

Saurkraut disgusts me. Just the smell of it makes me gag.

Turns out Bo Diddle’s Combo sandwich has corned beef so I guess I do like it. LOL

Corned beef is fine and cabbage is great, but I’m really just in it for the horseradish
