St. Patty's Day

This is going to be the first St. Patty's Day for hubby and I in Chi-town. We're super excited. We'll be watching the river dyed green and drinking massive amounts of green-colored beer. I was thinking about making something simple and Irish. I'm thinking bangers and mash or fish and chips. Even the shepherd's pie may make the cut. I think it's time for a little kitchen experiment this weekend. I'll post the recipe once I'm done experimenting with flavors. I need some ideas, anyone have any Irish faves? Let me know.
