Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all of the leprechauns of the blog from the Turley Clan. The leprechauns came to bring treats and tricks to the Turley house this morning. While our kids are older, they still enjoy our traditions (or humor their aging father).
The leprechauns indulged in a bottle of beer before leaving clues for our traditional treasure hunt that led to a horn of plenty of Irish cookies, soda bread, and fresh green donuts. (Now that the kids are older, there is also an array of Irish beers). They also left our traditional dollar coins hanging from a tree in green felt pouches for each of the kids in the backyard.
Tonight we will be feasting on corned beef and cabbage and toasting my late Irish father, Jack Turley.
And to everyone . . . Erin go Bragh!!!
Obama is Irish, haven’t you heard? Arab Spring meets Irish Spring.
It is wonderful to keep family traditions alive! You are the best 🙂
Erin go bragh!
A bit regarding Saint Patrick:

Erin go bragh, or, as the feminists say, “Erin go bragh-less” 🙂
Happy St. Paddy’s! Cooking up a big pot of Guinness Beef Stew served over mashed potatoes. Almost as good as corned beef and cabbage. We make this every year now. Ali’s recipe is a keeper.
“If you’re looking for a cozy Irish-inspired stew to celebrate today, this Guinness Beef Stew is always a winner. The classic trio of beef, potatoes and veggies is simmered low and slow with a richly-seasoned Guinness broth until every bite is melt-in-your-mouth tender (and your home smells amazing).”
