Create an Irish Pub Atmosphere at Home

St. Patrick’s Day is fast approaching.  Unfortunately, I won’t find myself anywhere near Ireland this year (though that is on my bucket list of fun family vacations!)

What I will be doing, however, is hosting our annual Feast of St Patrick.  Complete with corned beef, black pudding, tasty Colcannon and numerous other treats, I’ll be creating an Irish Pub at home and inviting friends and relatives to join us for an evening of craic (pronounced “crack”, it’s Irish for fun and entertainment).

Not everyone is quite as fanatical as I am, but there are a few easy ways to bring a festive Irish spirit to your home because “everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!”
