Find the green shake

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We started the day off with shamrock shaped pancakes, and ended the day with cottage pie, Irish soda bread, a lager and for dessert, a shamrock shake. I don't have any pictures....our camera batteries are dead and we can't find the chargers. (Thanks to Coveiter for the photo.)

McDonald's shamrock shake reminds me of my childhood when I would get to go to McDonald's along with my cousin and a dear old family friend, to celebrate our March birthdays. In college, we would add a little Absolut to them. These days the shake is hard to find, especially here in Florida. I did find this great website www.shamrockshake.com were you can track recent sitings of the sweet treat. The closest siting to us was about 20 minutes away, so we made our own. They didn't quite taste the same as Mickey D's version, but the smell flooded my mind of sweet memories of my dear family, whom I miss so much.

Slainte!
