Happy Saint Patrick's Day one and all (or as my Irish mama calls it, The Day!)...it's finally here, and I know all of you are Irish today regardless of where your ancestors hail from. Mine hail from Ireland, which is why you won't catch me wearing any green today. My Irish grandmother Aileen alway said to me, "Kate, you should never wear green on Saint Patrick's Day because you don't need to - you have Irish blood in your veins!" I do eat all the Irish food around me though, including my mama's scones and brown bread, and of course the classic corned beef and colcannon. But if you want to mix things up a little on The Day, you could also do bangers and mash. These are just as much English as they are Irish, which introduces a little harmony as well. Plus they are easy and delicious, especially when you top them with a little onion gravy.
