A Taste of Ireland for St. Patrick's Day
The patriotic colors of the Irish will be flying high on Monday, with Irish flags, green clothes and shamrocks on table linens and lapel pins. St. Patrick's Day is a noble and proud tradition that all Irish descendents celebrate with food and especially drink.
Our family "Top o' the Morning" breakfast when the boys were growing up had everything colored green, from the scrambled eggs to the orange juice (yes, it was a lovely color of Kelly Green). We even had mint jelly for the toast.
Then for dinner, we had a humorous "green" meal, with spinach pasta with green alfredo sauce, a green salad, lime Kool-Aid and a pistachio pudding or mint chocolate chip ice cream pie for dessert. Needless to say, the kids loved it.
