Frank & Friends Show 0033

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Kathryn compliments Frank’s green tie, which has harps on it. The harp is the official symbol of Ireland. Frank points out that a three-leaf shamrock is associated with St. Patrick, who used it to teach about the Holy Trinity. Many people incorrectly post images of four-leaf clovers. Many don’t realize that the nickname for Patrick is Paddy, which comes from the Gaelic name Pádraig. #ShamrockNotClover #PaddyNotPatty 

Frank says it's hard to find an Irish soda bread that reminds him of the ones his mother used to make. He says it’s a little easier to find them at stores in the Washington, DC suburbs. He doesn’t like corned beef and cabbage. 

Frank likes shepherd’s pie made with lamb. Kathryn says lambs are too cute to eat. Frank thinks sheep are remarkably stupid, based on a sheepdog demonstration he saw in Ireland. Kathryn will celebrate with an Irish hard cider. 

The Knox St. Patrick’s Parade was canceled due to a snowstorm on March 12. Kathryn hasn’t seen that much snow since she was a little girl living in Virginia. Frank hates the snow. Kathryn imagined that she woke up in Narnia on the day of the snowstorm. 

Kathryn lived in Texas and Frank lived in California during the Blizzard of ‘93. Kathryn was awaiting a surprise birthday party in 1993. Frank asked his sisters-in-law to arrange a small surprise party for his wife Jere earlier this week. Frank notices that some of his dead friends still get Facebook birthday greetings from other friends who don’t know the person has died.
