St. Patrick's day... today is a great day to bust out the Guinness, the Jameson and the Baileys, and make a delicious car bomb. Man, I loves me that drink :)
Today is also a great day to celebrate our Irish friends' heritage and have some shepherd's pie, but do you know where this tasty traditional dish comes from, how it's made or what magical ingredients are in it? If you want to know, Denis Leary is ready to dish out some historical wisdom about this ancient Irish tradition... Make sure you write down the recipe :)
See you again when I'm sober!
