Think Green!



I'm thinking green this morning, as the Irish around the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day!  From tiny critters found in nature, to celebrities like Martha Stewart who appeared on The Today Show to talk about cooking foods of emerald, green is the color that is on everyone's mind.  Earlier this week, Bobby Flay hosted an hour-long and informative show on Food TV which was a true travelogue of Ireland and a discovery of Irish foods.  It is such a beautiful land with many traditional, but flavorful foods.  Bobby shared that Irish Americans are the second-largest ethnic group in America (the first-largest are the German Americans).  With so many Americans with an Irish heritage, it is no wonder that talk shows, Facebook friends, and blogging buddies are enthusiastically celebrating by talking, eating, and thinking green!  Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!  Now, go take on the day with a cuppa tea and a wedge of Irish soda bread!

  3. It's 7:17 pm and my soda bread is about to come out of the oven. I think I'll have a cup of tea and call it supper. Got your email...I'm pondering!

  4. I get Irish from both sides of my family! Even if I don't eat the traditional meals on St. Patty's Day, I definitely enjoy the spirit of the occasion!
