In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I was originally going to go with a traditional (or not-so traditional) Irish beer, but then I saw something on the shelf that was practically calling out my name. Well, part of my last name at least. I’ve had Gritty McDuff’s beers before, but this was the first time […]
Despite having studied abroad in Ireland for a semester in college, I have some sort of mental block when it comes to Irish food: I utterly lack the ability to think beyond corned beef and cabbage. Even if I were, I’m not creative enough to think of interesting ways to prepare the dish (which, to […]
Look, I love St. Patrick’s Day as much as the next guy painted head-to-toe in green (and I mean head-to-toe). It’s such a festive day as folks burst into flames after drinking too much Guinness and eating too much corned beef and cabbage.

Saint Patrick’s Day is stealing up on us. *Groan* It’s not exactly my favorite “holiday.” I’ll probably risk being pinched and forget to wear green on Tuesday. Honestly, the antics are all a bit silly, particularly in NYC. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the Irish. Some of my best friends are Irish. […]
