May the “luck o’ the Oirish” be with you today and every
day!

Happy St. Patrick’s day! Are you wearing green? Do you
participate in eating green foods or drinking green beer?
What is our obsession
with turning the day green in the US? Chicago even turns their river green at
great cost with a “secret” recipe that supposedly doesn’t kill or pollute the
fish. I wrote a short story about it once.
But to move on, here is what I’ve done to celebrate St.
Paddy’s Day!

| Green Velvet Cake! |
 |
| Couldn't wait for the actual day, so we tasted a bit, just to make sure it was good, right...! |
I made this cake in honor of two friends, Jo, who gave me the
recipe, and “our” “local” Irishman Mark, who is moving to the mainland from
Hawaii this week, and will also be heard on a radio broadcast for St. Paddy’s Day!
Here is a link to Jo’s blog in case you want to try the
recipe, and to Mark’s in case he’s able to put up a post for us to hear his
lovely “Oirish” accent!
Here is a bit about St. Patrick, in case you’d like to know
his history:
Here is information about the Parade in Dublin, Ireland. I
wish I could be there!

I’ll leave you with a toast for St Patrick’s Day,
“May the roof above us never fall in,
and may we friends
beneath it never fall out.”
