I’ll be honest, I myself won’t be celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day. My plans involve driving a friend to the airport and then transferring a bunch of my baking stuff to the house where I’ll be housesitting (it’s a complicated operation). But for those of you going out, may you stay away from the green beer and stick to the good stuff. I suggest checking out the new subterranean bar at The Black Squirrel.
If you’re looking for something appropriate to serve for dessert this evening, these gems from the archives might just be for you:
Guinness cupcakes with Guinness icing;
Chocolate mint ice box cake (has the advantage of being both green and no-bake);
Chocolate stout ice cream (you can totally make this with Guinness); and
Chocolate Guinness “Oreos”.
What’s everyone baking or cooking or doing for Saint Patrick’s Day this year?

I made triple green cupcakes with my son last night. ( well-mostly by myself)
Green vanilla cupcakes, with green cream cheese frosting, and green sprinkles.
He is delighted and cant wait to them!!!
Rye bread and zucini – two of my favorite foods! Can’t wait to try out that recipe. Diane
