It’s day 7 of the 17 Days of All Things Irish. St. Patrick’s Day is still more than a week away, and tonight many are preparing to celebrate Mardi Gras tomorrow and go to all kinds of excess in preparation for the deprivation of Lent. If you’re looking for something extra decadent and wicked, then…

Ah, the first weekend of fall.
