Holidays, Life

a wee bit irish

Last year on St. Patrick’s Day I think we grilled chicken. And I remembered sitting around in the evening discussing with my family how we were being kinda lame. We were ALL (part) Irish. Landon, my mom, and dad (thus all of us kids, and my kids.) And I made a mental note that next year we’d do something better.

We made Irish soda bread, cabbage, shepherd’s pie, and chocolate potato cake for dessert.

“It’s delicious, Kaden. Try the cabbage.”

“No.”

She replied that’s why people were excited when stores began selling cake mixes. Yeah maybe… It was really good though.
