March 17th is one of my favorite days of the year for a number of reasons. Now I get to love it for another reason, my first blog post! I've been wanting to start a blog for a while and today seemed like a great day to start. I hope to share recipes, kitchen tips and tricks, and well anything else that inspires and excites me.
I absolutely LOVE the energy that surrounds St. Patrick's Day. Last year, I got the opportunity to spend the day at a local Irish pub listening to great live music, meeting new people and, of course, enjoying a pint or two.
Me, my friend Stephanie and the amazing Mickey Finns at 9 Irish Brothers, St. Patty's Day 2010.
Unfortunately I won't be spending the day at the pub this year. However, I'm still participating in the holiday. I've got my Celtic music playing in the background and my Irish Flag cookies for a snack.
I took up cookie decorating a few months ago. I was so excited when I purchased my shamrock cookie cutter. Instead of the traditional green shamrock, I thought I would recreate the Irish flag instead. Plus, I was looking for a reason to make orange royal icing. Stay tuned for an upcoming post on creating decorated cookies. Until then...
Wishing you a rainbow
For sunlight after showers—
Miles and miles of Irish smiles
For golden happy hours—
Shamrocks at your doorway
For luck and laughter too,
And a host of friends that never ends
Each day your whole life through!
For sunlight after showers—
