St. Patrick's Day

In the US, as I'm sure in other parts of the world, St. Patrick's Day is a day for partaking in tradition. The tradition includes eating corned beef and cabbage and drinking it up a the local pub.

My mom used to make a big deal of St. Patrick's Day.. maybe she still does. She turned dinner green with food coloring, she made green jello, etc.

The funny thing is that my dad can't stand green food. When he was a child, he contracted food poisoning due to some green food he ate. Rather than develop an aversion to the particular food he ate, he developed one toward the color of the food.

That's an Engineer for ya. They're a wierd bunch.

Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
