And remember, if you're running late and can't get to everything you had planned, most big markets have all the fixin's in their ready-made section. Our local market, Dave's Maketplace, has the most amazing take-out deli. They'll be sure to have corned beef & cabbage. The local liquor store has Baileys Irish Cream and cold Irish beer waiting for you in the cooler. Your bakery down the street probably has their version of Irish Soda Bread and an Irish Cream Cheesecake. If they don't, there's always the Irish Pub down the road!
