Every year my husband and I celebrate St. Patrick's Day with another couple. The evening is hosted at our home and features a traditional corned beef dinner. For me, the cooking part is easy: a boiled dinner of corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, and carrots and homemade Irish soda bread. For the guys, the beverage is easy: Guinness.

On March 17th everyone becomes just a little bit Irish in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Although this isn't a day off from work sort of holiday, for many it is celebrated with green beer, corned beef, and cabbage.

Drink Review: Frozen Car Bomb

Here is a twist on an old favorite. Are you tired of not being able to savor your Irish Car Bomb because the Bailey’s curdles too quickly? I know I am, which is why I pick up a pint (get it?) of Guinness ice cream whenever I see it at Jake’s Ice Cream and Sweet Shoppe. Aside from the multitude of original flavors they create, they are the only place I’ve seen Guinness, Bailey’s or Kahlua flavored ice cream. Let’s keep it Irish, and go with Guinness for today.
