Home Celebrations and Activities for St. Patrick’s Day:
 
Green Beer and bands may not be your thing. It’s all good. Here are some ways to celebrate on March 17th that are a little different:
 
Pickles, Peppers, and Potatoes:
 
Belly up to the bar, the Irish potato bar that is!  Roast or bake potatoes and allow your dining companions to indulge in lots of green toppings.  Broccoli, celery, green onions, dill, cilantro, and asparagus are just a few green things that taste great on a potato.  In keeping with the green food theme:  chop up lots of different peppers (bell, jalapeno, and banana are popular varieties) and open jars of sweet, dill, and kosher pickles for your guests.
 
Irish Movie Marathon:
 
You might elect to be an Irish couch potato and celebrate the big day with classic movies featuring personalities from or about the Emerald Isle.  A few worth a view are The Boondock Saints (crime thriller), Brooklyn (romantic comedy), The Quiet Man (drama with John Wayne as a boxer), and The Commitments (musical).  The Muppet Movie with Kermit the Frog who sang about the difficulties of “Bein’ Green” onSesame Street and The Muppet Show would be a great end to a cinematic indulgent day.
 
Good Luck to You Bags:
 
Spread St. Patrick’s Day Cheer with your neighbors by creating Lucky You bags that you can leave on a doorstep to brighten someone’s day. Take a brown paper lunch bag and fill it with a miniature box of Lucky Charms cereal, a bar of Irish Spring soap, an Irish wish or joke, and a shamrock.
 
Tie the bag and address it by christening the person with an Irish name.  For instance, Mrs. Boudreaux becomes Mrs. McBoudreaux and John Thibodeaux becomes John O’Thibodeaux for the day.
 
Suggestions for the Irish wish that you can write in green ink or print onto green paper include: “May your troubles be less and your blessings be more and nothing but happiness come through your door” or “What is Irish and stays out all night?  Paddy O’Furniture.”
 
Regardless of how you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, Lafayette offers much by way of activities and locations to get your green on!  Looking for a place to live in the area, visit Lafayette Gardens Apartments and find out how you can be one of the lucky ones to live in this luxury apartment village.
