I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy St. Patricks Day. I did not and am not making anything special but I did not want to let this day pass without well wishes. Here are some images from last year. Hope you all have a wonderful day, with great food and drink! La Fhelle Padraig Sona Daoibh!

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents. I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

Happy St Patty’s Day!
Thanks Georgie and same to you!
to you, too, Suzanne! I think the best I can do is put green food coloring (please don’t judge 😉 ) in my kids’ milk today. Though Irish soda bread is delish, so maybe I can squeeze that in? Haha, had forgotten today was St. P day until I saw your post. Obviuosly no Irish blood here. You?
Hey, my Mom used to color our scrambled eggs green on St Patricks day! Happy St. P day to you!!
Happy St Patricks Day to you too. Emma.
Greetings from the Emerald Isle and a very happy St Patrick’s Day to you too. 😉
Greetings to you and a very Happy St Patricks day!!
Oh man, now I am hungry. Might be from last year but it looks so good. I was going to go sans cornbeef this year but…
And the soda bread, yum.
Thanks Stacey, I now wish I had made some corned beef, soda bread and colcannon. I feel deprived.
Colcannon?
Yes, mashed potato and cabbage totally delicious!
Suzanne – sadly I wasn’t reading your blog last year so this is my first time seeing your brown bread – and wow – it looks fantastic!
Hoping your hand is feeling better – Happy St Patty’s day!
Thanks so much Shashi, I think I may try making some soda bread and maybe try to find some corned beef. I want some now!!
Happy St. Paddy’s Day to you also. We had our Irish meal yesterday so we can enjoy leftovers all week.
Love,
Maria
Oh lucky, I haven’t made anything today. I was there with you in spirit enjoying the feast!
Lovely! Happy St Patty’s Day! 😀
Thanks Fae and to you also!
Oh man that Irish soda bread looks amazing! Happy St Patty’s Day to you too Suzanne! I’ve been to Ireland and that is where my last name originated (Shine) and it really is so beautiful and green!
Ireland is at the top of my list of places I want to visit. I hope to get there some time in the very near future. Thanks, that soda bread was good, slathered with butter, yum!
I’m not making anything special either, Suzanne. Nonetheless, I am so extremely grateful that at the moment, it is raining rather than snowing outside, and to be inside and warm and dry with all the animals. Very happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of you!
I am so happy to see you here, a very Happy St Patricks day to you. Yes, rain rather than snow is a good thing for sure.
🙂 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Corned beef is in the crock and wishing I had some of your soda bread to go with it…
Oh yes, I love corned beef and the soda bread, warm with good Irish butter is delicious!! Thank you so much. Happy St Patricks day to you!
Happy St. Patrick´s Suzanne! The bread looks wonderful!
Thank you so much, soda bread is wonderful and so simple.
Happy st patty’s! We had corned beef and colcannon, but I didn’t have enough energy to make soda bread, sigh.
Oh I would gladly have the corned beef and colcannon, its delicious. I know what you mean about energy, didn’t have the energy to make anything,lThank you so much.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you and the pugs! You made us all hungry!
Thanks so much, made me hungry too, didn’t cook!
Your fare looks quite delicious! We celebrated one of my daughter’s birthdays yesterday on St. Patrick’s day. Hope the coming year is full of luck and happiness for you!
And for you too Laila, Happy Birthday to your daughter and thank you
Great looking meal!
Thanks so much.
Wow! You went all out! It looks delish!
Thank you so much, nothing like homemade warm soda bread, corned beef and colcannon. Real comfort food.
Happy St Patrick’s day my friend 😀 You went all out! I am so hungry! 🙂
Cheers

Thanks Uru, I love Irish food!! Comforting, filling and yummy!
Happy Belated St. Patrick’s Day to you too, Suzanne! FYI, did you know St. Patrick was Scottish-Italian (like me)? Your fact of the day!! 😉
I didn’t know that, thanks so much Christina. I am Italian on my Fathers side and my Mom is French/Scottish/Irish. We have similar makeup!! Happy St. Patricks Day to you also.
Hope you had a lovely and joyful day, dear Suzanne! Your photos make me hungry! The bread and beef looks really mouthwatering!!!
Thank you so much, I also hope your day was wonderful and you had good eats!!
Beautiful pics Suzanne! Happy belated St. Patrick’s
Thanks Katerina and the same to you!!
YUM. I’ve never tried Irish soda bread but I think I need to! We celebrated by making a Guinness lamb stew with Colcannon. Aaron’s of Scottish/English descent and I’m English (though we both are well and truly Aussies now) so we have no Irish links at all but… hey, hopefully St Patrick would understand! We do have Irish friends and they appreciated it!
Oh the lamb stew and colcannon sound delicious! I have a smidge of Irish on my Mom’s side so I try to channel that on St. Patricks day ! Thanks so much.
Ahhh pure comfort food – reminds of a trip to Ireland – Love the Irish coffee addition.
Thanks so much Cindy, it’s such a great meal, the Irish really know their comfort foods!
