 The food of this country it’s a little simple because the Irish gastronomic don’t use many spices or ingredients. We can cook as the Irish style with the principal ingredients that take parts of the basic alimentation of Ireland as potatoes, cheese, meat, butter, fish and a lot of vegetables that forms the delicious dishes that probably will make drain spittle.

To celebrate the Saint Patrick’s Day we can cook any traditionally food to enjoy this Anglo-Saxon celebration, we will check the principal dishes of this country, and we are going to view the ingredients and the preparation.

Guinness and Onion Soup with Irish Cheddar Crouton
We need:
·         Extra-virgin olive oil
·         Garlics
·         Onions
·         Salt
·         Sherry vinegar
·  Dark beer (we can use any type of beer but it’s recommendable to use a traditionally Irish beer)
·         Beef stock
·         6 slices country bread (we must toast it)
·         Irish Cheddar

     This soup has easy level of preparation so it is going to take us as 40 min of preparation. We must heat the olive oil in a large spoon to add the beef, then we must add the garlic, we cook this to have proper condition and we continue adding onions, salt and cook for about 5 minutes stirring often. Then we reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions became totally fried.
We add the vinegar and beer but before we must reduce it by half and add the beef stock, we cook it for 10 more minutes.
We transfer the soup to individual soup bowls. We companied this delicious soup with toasted bread slices with Cheddar, a delicious and freeze beer and piping hot.

Writing a poem with the traditional japanese style.





  Our planet


A big piece of earth

full of live
lives inside of us

Sunny days


I received a warm hit

taking away my freshness
raving around my body

Rain
Little tears falls again
that remembers me
why i am lonely

Spring


My heart starts beating

as the flower bloom
waiting for my butterfly

 Saint Patrick´s Music


As we have mentioned, the Saint Patrick´s day its a celebration that remembers the evangelization of the irish to the catholicism by the bishop of Armagh or best known Saint Patrick, this celebration have been celebrated for years in many parts of the world because of the irish migrants that had stablished in many places as the United States, one  of the principal country that have received irish migrants since the colonization so thats the reason of why that country celebrate that day, that fact have  helped to spread the celebration and make popular the irish simbols through the world by  the media as movies or tv series as a form to have comercial advantages giving rise an image that we know to that celebration as the green color, the elves or lucky things, but theres something that we dont found.

Where´s the music? in movies or cartons we have heard traditionally irish music as the irish folk where uses many kinds of instruments like the Bodhràn, flutes, drums and any others celtic intruments, the celtic melodies with lyrics beer culture, bars, employers and employees, in the background of everyday reality influenced that country the booming for fighting for their rights and freedoms to oppression, thats the irish folk but we still lacking a Saint Patrick´s Music, there´s no typical song that represents or defined that celebration so that provokes the raise of many bands to create a song that could encourage the party and make funny the celebration.

The Rumjacks “An Irish Pub”

 An australian celtic punk group that have formed in 2008, this band are inspired in music tendencies such diverse as the irish music.
I have chose the song "An Irish Pub"  because it mix the irish folk rythm with a rock style making it interesting, energetic and funky, it has  an enimagtic and harmonious entry with a flute and a type of thiner drum and a kind of guitar so in the begginig and in some parts the song is unplugged then the drums and the guitar start, this song is good for dancing or to enjoy while you were eating, this song describes in 3:23 minutes the principal characteristic of the saint patricks day, it describes a casual party envolved in a beer environment and a life of fisher that the only important think is to enjoy the irish pub, it has a style like the rap so its dificult to sing in the same speed  and it has a little flitch of alternative music, this song is amusing and cheerful, you can  feel like throwing your shoes to the air and dancing barefoot, that song incites a crazy environment ! Beer and beef the important to celebrate. Lately Ireland sounds even more familiar than before. I like very much because is rock, i like rock and that makes that this celebration became different from others, this music makes the celebration funny and exciting, the group preseres the traditional features and glint  without losing  Irish style.

San Patric´s Day


Most of you have been asking about what is the Saint Patric´s day, So we know that it celebrated in Ireland and many people wear green clothes in that day but its the only fact that we know, we ignored that this celebration is origined by a saint that had borned in the fifth century in britain when it was part of the roman empire, he was translated to Ireland as a slaver whe he was 16 years but he finally escaped to Italy where he became a priest. He could know all about the evangelism because it was instructed by Saint german, he returned to the islad where it was privated of his liberty to spread the cristianism, the idea was to return to the primitive cristianism because that religion was matarailized so he wanted to establish the pure trust of good to the barbarians so that history tell us the importance of evangelism to the cristianismo, this is a religious festival so if you are questioning now what happens with the use of the trebol or why people wear green clothes? its because it said that Patric used to taught the religion with trebol to explain the three representations of good or best called "the saint trinity"that is between good father of the son of the holy spirit, so in that myth expanded and explain us the cause of the use of the green.

The life of this saint its not clear but the importance of this is not the historic details, the importance borns into the spyritual simbolism that after became an idea of irish nacionalism, the ireland feel identify with celebration as the unique representation of his culture, then other symbols were added  as the elves or the traditional beer for example it exist a legend of the saint who have succeeded in driving all the snakes from Ireland and who taught all the inhabitants of the island to distill alcohol.

So we know that this day its only celebrated around the world because of the irish migrants that celebrated it, thats the explanation of why of the most biggest festival to Saint Patric´s day were celebrated in one of the most poblated irish in the world (USA) In the past this celebration was closed and only religious character but now a days its open to all people and it was changed the essence with commercial and funny characteristics.
