Happy St. Paddy’s Day!

17 March, 2010 by moi

I don’t know about you, but I’m woefully unprepared for any sort of celebration. There’s nary a corned beef or cabbage in sight … no Guiness. Not that I like Guiness, mind you. It makes me gag. But it seems the festive thing to do … and that, my friends, is how I roll …

Maybe I’ll try a different stout this year – Epicurious just happens to have a great Irish Beer Guide.  Perhaps I’ll study up.

Or, perhaps I’ll eat pizza, drink water with a hint of lime, and call my “Kiss me, I’m Irish” napkins good.

However you celebrate, may it be a good one … and as you head out on your way, an Irish blessing (oddly appropriate for Idaho):

May the frost never afflict your spuds.

May the leaves of your cabbage always be free from worms.

May the crows never pick your haystack.

If you inherit a donkey, may she be in foal.

Greetings & salutations

Just in case you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, my blog's a lot like life: it's a hodge-podge. So pour yourself a steaming cup of goodness, settle in, and I'll tell you all about it--whatever 'it' happens to be . . .

The fine print

Magpie & Muttonfly is the place where I write about all the things that make our stories grand. Emphasis on me, myself, and I. Any review or recommendation posted on this site is solely my own {unless otherwise noted}. Occasionally you will find a link to Amazon.com. An eternal window shopper, I only list items that strike my fancy. Any time you click the link and proceed to make a purchase, I get a wee referral fee. You will not be charged more--but once or twice a year I earn enough to purchase a tin of my favorite tea. So I do thank you for that!
