-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Y-IRL] St. Patrick's Day Date: Sat, 09 Mar 2002 22:47:11 -0500 From: Donna Brown <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Hi Folks, Here in Boston, the 17th of March is St. Patrick's Day AND Evacuation Day (the day the Brits were sent away). As a result, it is an actual county holiday. Everything is green--beer, sweets, hair, etc. Boston has a large parade (although in recent years it has been staged on the week-end closest to the holiday.) Irish bands abound; corned beef is always the special in the supermarket; corned beef and cabbage (or Irishman's turkey as my grandmother called it) is on every menu; and every bakery in the state has Irish soda bread. Irish bands are everywhere and usually there are lots of parties (often with a wee bit of Jameson's). When we were little, we always awoke on St. Patrick's Day to the sound of my mother playing the piano and singing, "Potatoes and fish are a very good dish for St. Patrick's Day in the morning."
