St. Paddy’s 💚
March 17, 2019
Usually I wear my “Italians Do It Better” shirt on March 17. But I am Irish, too, so it’s a joke. Actually, my Irish blood is far more festive than my other components. My great grandfather (or possibly great-great? I’ll have to ask my cousin who dug deep on our ancestors.) was Grand Marshall of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade along time ago.
Besides being 25% Irish, I just love to bake on a theme. And with a festive get-together across the Narrows, it was green buttercream topped chocolate cupcakes.
I cut the sugar so they wouldn’t be too sweet, but that left the frosting a bit loose.
I made my usual. 12 – 1 taste-tested.
The host and hostess made sure I had something to eat. Delicious BBQ jackfruit sandwiches with a yummy slaw on top on a toasted bun. These were so damn good.
And here’s the real shelfie pre-party… before the color pop filter.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! ☘
