Well, we celebrated another Fourth Sunday
Dinner – this time we all gathered at Josh and Katie’s new apartment. The night began with some delicious cheese,
crackers, olives and M&M snacks. I
made an “Irish Cocktail” called Peppermint Patty for a pre-dinner drink. It was made with equal parts: Chocolate
Vodka, White Crème de Cacao, Green Crème de Menthe, and Half & Half
Cream. Shake it over ice and poured into
martini style glasses (or plastics!).
I could not decide what to make for my
Irish cold side dish, so I improvised. I
took fresh spinach and mixed it with diced corned beef, diced gouda cheese,
dried cranberries, tomatoes, and Irish Soda Bread croutons! All this was topped with Sweet Mustard Salad
Dressing. It really came out better than
I expected.


Do you recognize my little Mexicanos?
Let's not forget about the Ice Cream Cone Chocolate Cake Extravaganza (ICCCCE) that like to tip over on the ride over and cover my hands in delicious minty green icing!!
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are awesome!! I'm very tempted to buy a Mexican poncho now.
Oh, but those ICCCCE treats were delicious!
