A great day to you Alan!

Same to you Alan. Just in case your not aware your heritage gave many here in the states a reason to drink beer. We dye it green to celebrate the day. Thanks

Can you actually dye Guinness green?

My dNA tells me I should agree happy is this day.

I hope you had a great day. Be well!

I'm not sure what brands they dye. I just know it makes a good selling point to some.

In Chicago, the plumber's union turns the Chicago River green.
My family got to hear some good Irish music and Guinness, fun time.

I'm of Irish descent. I have distant relatives in County Galway. My family (both sets of grandparents) settled in Chicago in the early 1900s.

I had a supervisor at TWA who was from Ireland... he told me there two kinds of people in the world.... the Irish and those who wished they were Irish.

We had our traditional corned beef and cabbage for dinner last night...

We used to have corned beef and cabbage, because it was a tradition, but I never really liked cooked cabbage much. We transitioned to having Rueben sandwiches instead. You still have your corned beef, and the cabbage was in the form of sauerkraut. mmmmmmmm

My Da and Ma came over on the boat several years apart, met here and discovered they were from the same town in Co Cavan, called Virginia!! And that is where I live now!! P

That seems to be especially true on 17th. March!!!

I used to run a sandwich shop/deli. On St Patrick's day we sold pitchers of green beer. I still have the rest of the commercial sized bottle of green food color in my cupboard! My maternal grandmother was a red-headed Irish woman. My mom had beautiful auburn hair. I got my dad's brown hair, of course.

We do the same. My spouse noticed that we enjoyed the sandwich leftovers more than original meal, so these past two years we made Reuben sandwiches on homemade rye bread. Yum!
