It's Guinness time

Earth, Wind, Fire conquered St. Patty's Day in Chicago. The night began with my homemade tapa's and a bottle of King Estate's 2009 Pfeiffer Pinot Gris.

Then it was off to Mystic Celt, the old stomping ground, for some Chi-rish music, a little bit of dancing and a couple of Guinnesses. "Guinness is Good for You". Really it is. Just like wine, beer has health benefits when consumed moderately. Research done by the University of Wisconsin (On Wisconsin), believe that "antioxidant compounds" in the Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for the health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls. I will not complain about that.

We capped the night off with some Photo Hunt and a Chicago thin crust pizza (definitely not thin by any means) and watched the movie Burlesque. I haven't stayed up that late in a long time! It is hard to believe I have spent the last four St. Patty's Day in so many different places. 2011 Chicago, 2010 Portland, 2009 Tasmania, 2008 New Zealand.
