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.
