I wear my " 100% not Irish" shirt on Paddy's day.  cuz Im German mostly, and not a bit Irish.  I still miss corned beef though, and I can't eat seitan so I don't know what I will do instead.

Evergreen- I used this recipe for sheperd's pie. I loved it, maybe you will too  ;)

yabbitgirl - That's horrible. Why would anyone want to dissociate themselves from being irish. I'm proud of being irish. So proud I have a tattoo of Shamrocks across my chest.

This is one of my favorite holidays (especially because it's the day after my birthday)

I'm planning to make a St. Patty's Feast.
Corned Seitan with Cabbage
Bubble and Squeak
Irish Soda Bread
and Irish Potato Candies

The only negative is that I'll probably be eating it all by myself  :'(

I want to go to your house!! :)

Come on over :) lol

I just bookmarked that recipe ...I may serve that along with the colcannon. ^-^ It sounds yumyummy!

I'm 50% Irish. Too bad you are across the continent. I'd join your feast. I grew up on corned beef and cabbage. What is "bubble and squeak"?

English version of colcannon...pretty much.

Yeah I have never made it before. Usually I just roast potatos with my corned "beef" and cabbage but I wanted to try something different and somewhere I saw Bubble and Squeak and they were saying it was irish so I thought of making it but now researching it I do see it's English. So I'll go with the Colcannon instead. I'll probably make it with kale and bacos. lol

I am a dud.  There is a new whole foods opening up next week, I plan to go check that out, I hear that they sell daiya cheese and I really want to try that. 

My son's 18 month birthday is comming up coinciting with ST. Pats day.  I plan to change out his toys.  Ummm, let  me explain, he has a ton of toys, so about two months ago I took half of them and put them away in the closet.  So next weekend, I plan to take all those out, and then take the toys out now, and put them all way for two months.  It will be like Christmas, all new toys, only, they are just toys he hasn't seen in two months. 

I can't afford new toys, so I do this instead!

I found this delicious Lemon-Lime Blueberry Soda Bread recipe on the Los Angeles Times website, under St. Patrick's Day recipes, that looked like it could be easily veganized.
