Green Beer & Ham!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of my friends, family and anyone else who may happen on to my blog today!  As I probably say every year, I just LOVE this holiday!  Why?  You may ask, well, I will tell you...I love that many (many) years ago my Irish great-grandpa married my Cherokee great-grandma, I love being married to my Irish husband, I love my Irish son's very Irish (and Scottish) name, I love my Irish mother-in-law, I LOVE green, I love parades, I love Guinness, I love the opportunity to dye my beer and any other foods (like cupcakes) green!  I think that justifies saying that I love this holiday every year! So...happy, happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

For dinner I decided to treat Will to some "green" food.  We had green mashed potatoes and green beans to go with our ham dinner.  We also enjoyed some green beer...Heineken - for a light colored beer, not so bad.   I would have preferred Guinness, but I was obsessed with the idea of everything green.

I wish I had a copy of The Quiet Man, I would make Will watch it!  Will is secretly thanking his lucky stars (as he reads this)..I am pretty sure he does not want to watch a John Wayne movie, even if it does take place in Ireland, but come on...Maureen O'hara and the Duke?!?!  I guess, we may have to settle for P.S. I Love You (which I actually do really like, even if it makes me cry)! I need to be doing homework though...last two weeks of class and I have a paper, a final project and a final (the first two are due by this Sunday).   Aaagh! Got to get working...while I drink some more geen beer!!


Cheers to you!!
