Give me a Guiness, I'm Irish!

Don't they dye the river green in San Antonio? (Not that I would want to be on the Riverwalk then - it would almost be as bad as Cinco de Mayo ). I'll do you one better, 'elf - I prefer Strongbow to Guinness!

I am interested in a Guinness Chocolate cake recipe I found - hmmmm . . .

To celebrate Bushmill's 400th anniversary, they released a limited-edition premier Irish whiskey. Now I love to sip Irish whiskey, but this 1608 is so smoooooooth.

Yep, they do indeed dye the river green. The city officials then call the Paseo del Rio the River Shannon for the weekend and they'll have the annual St. Patrick's day river parade on Sunday. We went on the pub crawl one year, but this year I think we're going to stick to playing at Hoolihans.

I've never had Strongbow before--would love to try it.

Don't know about San Antonio....

But they dye the Chicago River green every year ....going to watch was a family tradition for my dad's good old "Chicago Irish Catholic" family.
