Happy Saint Patty's Day


     Celebrate the day and our Irish ancestory, whether you're Irish or not, by wearing something green, enjoying some green beer, cornbeef and cabbage, and/or a Shamrock shake! 


Shamrock Shake Recipe 

Yes, I acknowledge the Shamrock Shake originated at McDonald's, but because my mother was the thrifty woman she was (& is), we always had the homemade version.  
In the blender, add 2 scoops vanilla ice cream, 2 scoops mint chip ice cream, 1 cup milk, 1 cup lemon lime soda, and 3 Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies and blend.  Serve in a tall glass with whipped cream on top and a couple of extra Thin Mints! 
Faith and Begorrah, that's good!





An Irish Blessing

May you always have walls for the winds,

a roof for the rain, tea beside the fire,

laughter to cheer you, those you love near you,

and all your heart might desire.



~ and may there be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow ~
