So you’re thinking of hosting your very own St. Patrick’s Day party? Beyond the obvious requirements (plenty of booze), be sure to stock up on some appropriate Irish fare to feed your hungry guests.

 

You can go one of two ways with such an endeavor — all-out green or actual authentic Irish foods. If you decide to go the green route, you may want to stick with an array of snacks and desserts. Think homemade shamrock shakes (easier than you think!), green velvet cake and shamrock-shaped cookies, alongside mostly-green appetizers that tend to be a hit with most every guest at any party, such as spinach dip, stuffed jalapenos and a veggie tray (green bell peppers, edamame, cucumbers, etc.).

 

If you’d rather go the more traditional route, give your dishes a modern, more party-friendly twist. After all, you probably won’t want to spend all day cooking up corned beef and cabbage your guests may or may not be thrilled with. A good amount of Guinness can turn any recipe Irish, from a Guinness chocolate cake to Guinness cheese spread.

 

If all else fails and you’re a disaster in the kitchen, pick up some cupcakes with green frosting or a leprechaun cake and call it a day. By the time your guests get around to dessert, they may just be too intoxicated to notice.

Where to Find the Best Stargazing Spots in Ireland

This year, the Northern Lights put on quite the display across Ireland, but don’t think these lights are the only thing you can see in Ireland. In fact, many spots across the country provide some of the best opportunities to stargaze thanks to low levels of light pollution. Ireland has three International Dark Sky Parks and even more spots which, although not accredited, are worth a visit for anyone wishing to see the sky in its unfiltered form.
