Ever since I can REMEMBER we've always had
- corned beef (which daron referred to as "red cow" all night. "Hallie. Pass me the red cow.")
- cabbage
- carrots
- onion
- soda bread with raisins
Then we kind of just do these things out of the sake of greenness, not necessarily an irish thing:
lime italian soda...errr...lime IRISH soda
this cake junk...which I never love (no offense mom) but it's green! It's white cake with surprises of pistachio pudding and green whipped topping!
And of course beer on tap! JK got ya.
Some of the things that happened during dinner:
- chasing my nieces and nephews around, pinching them. They were wearing green but who made that rule anyway.
- My brother was disciplining my nephew: "That is why I have to be strong with you right now, Ty..." Ty: "But I'm stronger than you are!"
- Seth bringing a "wand" and casting three HP spells on everyone. I couldn't stand it anymore, the kid needed more to work off of! So I had him get my iTouch, we looked up wrote down 18 of our favorite spells. His favorite is the Imperious Curse, one of the three unforgivable. (IMPERIO!)
Hope you wore green. Either way, consider yourself digitally PINCHED!
