Posted by: The Agnew Family
I decided that celebrating St. Patrick's Day would be a good excuse to invite a few friends over for a fun dinner. We bought a few decorations, downloaded about 11 hours of Irish Rovers music, downloaded some photos of Ireland (it's now a place I would like to travel to) to show on the photo screen/television in the dining room, found some recipes for traditional Irish food and some recipes for "green" food. Appetizers were Emerald Eggs, shrimp salad on cucumber slices, goats cheese topped with a green olive on crackers. Soup was Tomato Spinach Tortellini with tri-coloured Tortellini which happened to be the same colours at the Irish flag. Main course was Guinness Stew and Irish Soda Bread.
I made a not very Irish Coconut cream pie for desert as it's Rob's favourite. As I didn't want to put green food colouring in the whipping cream Ed made shamrocks to decorate the pie.
Zaph and I dressed in "green".
We also celebrated my birthday (tomorrow) and Rob's birthday on March 20th.
