St. Patrick's Day Medley

It's a St. Paddy's Day celebration here at Life, as it is...what's a St. Patrick's Day party without green beer?

Here's what you need:

A pale colored beer
A large, cold beer mug
green food coloring
a long spoon to stir

Take your pale beer, since it's St. Paddy's I suggest using Harp, and pour it into a clean, cold glass.  Make sure you tilt your glass to get the least amount of foam because food coloring sticks to foam.  Add about 6 drops of green food coloring for the perfect emerald shade and stir.  Much easier than squeezing shamrock juice into a glass, right?

What goes great with green beer you ask?  Well it's Jell-O Shamrocks, of course!!
*recipe and pictures originally posted by Zakka Life*
Ingredients:
2- 30oz boxes of Lime Jell-O
2 cups water
1 cup cream
you also need a shamrock shaped cookie cutter
Directions:
Boil water, add Jell-O and stir until completly dissolved.  Pour into a 13"x9" glass baking dish, let stand for 10 minutes.  Pour in 1 cup of cream, mix.  Refrigerate until Jell-O sets then cut with cookie cutter. 
*The cream seperates on it's own, creating the 2 layers*

An Irish Blessing
May those that love us, love us.

And those that don’t love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn’t turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping.

A Saint Patrick's Day Toast:


Saint Patrick was a gentleman,
Who through strategy and stealth,
Drove all the snakes from Ireland,
Here’s a toasting to his health.
But not too many toastings
Lest you lose yourself and then
Forget the good Saint Patrick
And see all those snakes again.
'Beannachtam na Feile Padraig!'
Happy St. Patrick's Day!




Well, I'm all Irish-d out, or maybe it's the green beer, I dunno...but I leave with my favorite Irish blessing:

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
The rains fal lsoft upon your fields and until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hallow of his hand.




Happy St. Patrick's Day!
