It be the day we live for to celebrate our Irishness. Mam outdid herself with the best potato soup she's made yet! I could have made a meal of that by itself, I could. She made her lovely soda bread, with baked beans, bangers and mash and to top it off a gorgeous-tasting apple cake with caramel sauce! And yes, she made the sauce light enough that she coloured it green just to delight the kiddos (though for a moment Tonya and I thought it was a jar of slime). Oh, and not to forget the shamrock shakes, non-alcoholic for the kiddos and with a bit of sass for the adults.
So Happy St. Paddy's Day to ye! I know they are serving up tacos and enchiladas in Denver, so I had your portion for you. Here are a few photos of what you're missing, LOL.
 |
| First, we turned each of the kiddos into leprechauns |
 |
| Table ready and that big jug of Mam's baked beans, YUM |
 |
| The best potato soup ever! |
When you are busy filling your piehole, and you hear tapping at the bottom of the bowl, you know the soup was good! Every little mouthful.
 |
| Mam's soda bread served with Kerry Gold and no other |
 |
| Shamrock Shake -- Adult Edition |
We lace the ice cream with Bailey's and Creme de Menthe, top off with homemade whipped cream and there we are!
 |
| Bangers and mash, just oozing that fine onion gravy! |
And for afters:
 |
| Irish apple cake with caramel sauce - to die for! |
Sooo now I be full of the good stuff, and I will say it was an enjoyable St. Paddy's Day if ever there was one. Everyone was happy, full of good food, and yes, I had a Guinness and a shot of Jameson so I be one happy Irishman.

Happy St. Patrick's day gabe! we had smoked salmon and. boxy for breakfast. tonight we are serving potato soup, coddle (with lots of Guinness), colcannon, ulster salad, soda bread and brown bread with kerrygold (too), and a baileys cheesecake with Irish coffees. And the husband's beloved Belleek china is being shined up for the occasion. enjoy the day!
HAPPY ST. PADDYS DAY CAPPY GABE! Your grub looks mighty luscious, why not bring some over to the Pearl and share? We have the grog, you bring the savories mate. OR, better yet send you mom instead, I'd a new cook who can rustle up good fare any day.
Happy St. Pat's a day late, LOL. We were making rather merry as they say and have a hell of a hangover this morn, but it was well worth it. I hope your day was just as delightful sans hangover.
