St. Patty's Table and Dinner

Cheers! Another St. Patty's Day passed. Check out the table settings all put together and the menu served on it. (The boys were a little late for dinner, but everything held and it ended up just as yummy and just as nice as they devoured the feast in their typical record time.)

The Table Settings

Menu
An Irish Inspired Stew
Peas (we have to make the separate since not all of my brothers like them)

Pot of Gold (or Cheddar Beer Soup) (with some alterations since I am vegetarian and have no interest in a meaty stew, including using vegetable broth instead of chicken)
Deep Fried Battered Pickle Chips (not b/c they are Irish, but I like them & they are green)
Traditional Soda Bread
Apple Cider
Beer
Shamrock Cut Out Cookies (from a favorite local bakery)
Rainbow Cupcakes
Brownies

About the Author

You might be curious to know about me and about and my creative background. I grew up with a other who sewed and taught me to sew by the time I started kindergarten. We grew up learning how to make paper flowers and foll houses from boxes and old magazines. It seemed as if there was nothing we couldn't come up with a way to do.

I grew up as a Girl Scout and then 4-H when I became old enough, in which I took everything from cooking to woodworking to clowning. I started in theater at a young age helping build costumes for a college production when I was still only in middle school. I learned to take on new creative challenges with a type of fearlessness than many are cautious against. I found not just a love, but also a need to create whether it was something made, something written, or something performed as I took on and played an instrument as well. I learned that y own creativity could take e to places that do not or cannot exist any other place.

In later years, theater has become an even larger part of my life than even when I was younger, both onstage and offstage. y love of costumes has only deepened as I have constantly learned a true love in the arts and of creating something out of nearly nothing. (Which seems to happen a lot in smaller theaters where budgets are small or non-existent.) I supervised and taught Arts & rafts at two different summer camps into my early twenties. I get the joyous task of being able to continue to share and teach and constantly learn. I have volunteered and been a part of outreach projects, as well as write hoping to never loose the desire to create.

Rebel against that which keep us down and make us loose touch with ourselves CREATE SOMETHING!
