St Patrick's Day


Kennedy's Observation: No amount of green food dye will turn Guinness green.

Spent the best part of the day at an anti-war rally in the city.

Spaetlese radical.

Tonight I am doing a green theme dinner. Well, with a name like Kennedy...

Green pea soup served with some of that very thin crepe-like flat bread, spread with a pesto, rolled up and cut at an angle.

Chicken and green pepper kebabs, served with a herbed rice and a small ramekin of Tzatziki dip.

Wine: Verdhelo, of course.

Baked apple (yes, Stewart's Seedling) and Blackberry with a greenish scone cobbler top and cream.

Black coffee.

  1. If you have any trouble finding dinner guests, which I doubt with a menu like that, PICK ME PLEASE!

    You sound very creative in the kitchen...

  4. Hmmm....is it any sign of a failure that possum ain't on the menu?

    (Nah, jus jokin'. Still, there is a recipe fer possum in the Joy of Cooking cookbook.)

    And graduates....the assumption is that you have some connection other than just knowing the guys' names. Follow through with that and I land squarely on one of 'em being yer.....Son?

    Oh heck! I dunno. I barely get time t'come in and use the 'puter so much anymore, and the time is about t'get a whole lot more limited. My big show is the end of April and I need t'get all the paintings I can there by then.

    So, good luck to the graduates, good luck on the dinner (sounds good) and remember....
    possume is edible.

  8. Gary: I don't know, that's why I tried to describe it as a crepe - very thin.

    Snowsparkle, really! A green merkin! Leprachauns will never be the same again.

    Boneman: all quiet on the possum front. With the lights, anyway. It is illegal to trap them here so I would never tell you that I did that. The two shadowy possums are my two oldest sons. Good luck with your exhibition.
