"May your Blessings Outnumber the Shamrocks that Grow,And May Trouble Avoid you,
Wherever you Go!"
Forget the hype over Leprechauns & Green Beer! Two of my favorite St. Patrick's Day traditions are:
1. Got Green River?
The city of Chicago dyes their river green! How cool is that! They've got the right Irish spirit! They've been doing it since 1962! It was the brilliant idea of sewer workers who used green dye to check for sewage leaks. In earlier years they used 100 lbs. of vegetable dye and the river stayed green all week. Now they use 40 lbs. and it lasts several hours! Awesome!
2. Got Green Food?
Who needs green beer when you can dine on All-Things-Green-All-Day-Long!
Sample Menus Ideas:
Breakfast - green eggs & ham, green milk, green oatmeal, honeydew melon
Lunch - green bagels with green cream cheese, green apples, pickles, grapes, celery
Dinner - spinach pasta noodles with pesto sauce, broccoli, green caesar salad, limeaid, spumoni ice cream.
"May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night."
