St Patrick's Day

IMG_1307
As soon as Ross had his first Corn Beef and Cabbage Dinner one St Patrick's Day... he was hooked. Along with a Guinness, it quickly became a favorite! He jokes that it is seriously his favorite holiday meal! I had a burst of inspiration at the beginning of the week, so I decided to make the celebration last a couple of days!

We made Irish Soda Bread and Rumbledethumps (I think its also called colcannon?) one night!

And then on St Paddy's Day, we had the Corn Beef and Cabbage Dinner with a Guinness! And for dessert... yummy chocolate mint brownies. I don't think that's Irish, but I thought it would be fun. I only had neon food coloring though, so the brownie looked like a nuclear spill happened! Still tasted good. Here is Max helping me make the frosting for the brownies:

I love how most people embrace the green wearing and celebrating. It makes me smile! I helped in Zoey's school that day, and 85% of the kids were wearing green! Too fun.

and here is a toast to you!
