St Patrick's Day - Green Eggs & Bananas




















So, do you think green eggs are gross or fun or both? This specific entree is tinted with neon green food coloring for extra Irish luck & zing along with a little cream cheese for a flavor & texture boost. Do I sound gourmet?


Yes, I had planned on a Suess-type menu complete with ham but I had no ham so we had green eggs with bananas as our side dish. What are the lessons here?



1) if you don't plan ahead and you don't have all of your supplies, improvise and move forward with fun anyway ~


2) even if you are committed to fun, your family & friends may not go along with your great ideas and you may be the only one who eats green eggs (or whatever you've prepared) ... stay committed to fun ~



Whether you're throwing an all out St. Patty's bash, pinching those not wearing a touch of clover green or simply saying the Irish Blessing at dinner ... enjoy an opportunity to celebrate. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.


The Irish Blessing


There are many Irish Blessings,
but this is the most well-known of all
and it is one of my Grandpa Hickey's favorites:



May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
