I tossed that "tradition" straight out the window as soon as I left home. This evening, DH (who has zero Irish ancestry) and I got take-out sushi, had a bit of sake (Guinness just doesn't go with raw fish), and watched the pilot episode of Babylon 5.

I hate corned beef and cabbage, too. My mom used to make it every year and it would stink up the house. At least she usually made Irish stew, too, which was my saving grace.
