Happy St. Patty's Day...

Top of the mornin' to ye....
Kathleen that is CEO of CUISINE KATHLEEN
has an annual
St. Patrick's Day Blog Crawl 
and I've played at her party for a few years.
 
St. Patrick's Day is March 17th
 

A beautiful tulip field in Ireland...photo from the web.
I've decided to add photos from some of my past St. Patrick's Day posts
with my newest one for this year.



this particular
 St. Patrick's Day ,
we were out shopping and when we got hungry, we bought a
LONG sub sandwich and took it home.


Mr. Sweet and I shared this sandwich, which we loved...


 Vanilla Bean ice cream and frosted sugar cookies


I just LOVE this cute cup and I bought it at
THE DOLLAR TREE....
for....
a dollar....:)






the beautiful green stem ware belonged to my mother.

We have only 8 and never use them...

maybe one of the grands will want them.

Pretty little Pottery Barn candle holders from my girl, Stacy Leigh...


Orange Cranberry scones from the recipe of
THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA
Scones are small British quick breads of  SCOTTISH origin.
They  are especially popular in the United Kingdom, 
United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and  IRELAND.


"long enough to hide your Lucky Charms"
hahhhaaa....I just love that.

No IRISH table would be complete without
an IRISH COFFEE...
1 and 1/2 oz. GOOD Irish whiskey
1 teaspoon Brown sugar
6 oz. hot coffee
Heavy creme
Combine that good whiskey with the sugar and coffee in
an AWESOME mug, stirring to dissolve.
Float cold, whipped, sweet creme on top.
DO NOT STIR.
Sip slowly and enjoy to the very last drop.

...my favorite Irish table...
casual...picnic style...
the bright green mixed with the luscious turquoise
is my favorite color combination (mixed in with black and white, of COURSE..:)
*
 Irish Stew and Irish Soda Bread...
sooo good....no lamb...no sir ree...
Irish potatoes made this stew plenty IRISH for me.

 The above table of 2015 was, by far, my favorite of all time...
2016
Spicy Irish Soda Cornbread......to. die. for.



...more Irish Stew and
Irish Kissing Balls...
 My mama's recipe for Chocolate Pie
and a GREEN donut...
gotta love it


 ...another Irish Coffee...

 LOVE, bj

  6. I love all your greens, and especially your mama's green stemware! You should use it and enjoy it :) I have never had Irish coffee. I remember as a kid getting a spoonful of whiskey as a sore throat and cold remedy. It put me off the stuff for the rest of my life! Lol

  40. Love those green glasses, bj, you should use them! I've never had spicy Irish bread! You have so many interesting things in this post! Perfect round up to celebrate the day! But me thinks you celebrate every day with your positive attitude! And I do not know how you stay so slim with all those sweets you show! Extremely jealous! Thanks so much for doing the crawl again this year, I appreciate your friendship!

  41. Boy, you really go all out for St. Patrick's Day. I have to admit that I didn't even wear green today, but no one we passed on the beach was in green either so we didn't get pinched.

    Thanks for sharing all of the fun St. Patrick's Day pics.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
