Guinness wants to make St. Patty’s Day Official
Guinness has launched a Web site for Proposition 3-17 to make St. Patrick’s Day an Official Holiday. In order to present the petition to Congress they need a million signatures by midnight on March 16.
With St. Patty’s Day falling on a Monday this year it’s a real bummer …Â the weekend days are far more conducive to my schedule. How about you? What are your plans for the big day?
In the meantime, here are a couple of recipes Guinness provides in it’s official Proposition 3-17 Rally Kit which also includes a printable petition and multiple rally posters. Sign the petition here if you like. Cheers!
GUINNESS Marinade Sauce

Bring to a boil and simmer for about 15-20 minutes. 2) Remove the bay leaf and stir in softened butter, 1 tbsp at a time over low heat.
