St. Patrick’s Day is almost here! Don’t count on finding a clover to build your luck up this year, get your green strategies going today…

What will you wear???

With SXSW in full swing here in Austin I expect to see some of these crazy hot green shoes on some super cool band members!

If crowds and hipsters aren’t your thing there is a more tradition steeped St. Patrick’s Day Festival benefiting

The Celtic Cultural Center

Shamrocks  aren’t supposed to be hunted but are only considered lucky if stumbled upon. That shouldn’t keep you from adding four leaves to your life… the more green the better and sometimes you just have to make your own luck!

To eat Irish there is of course corned beef and cabbage with potatoes. While you rarely see a quick recipe from Martha Stewart, you can start this recipe today in time for tomorrow’s feasting!

AND of course the tradition of green beer…

Now I prefer a pot of gold to most of these traditions… still waiting for that to appear!
