Having an annual St. Patrick's Day party is probably the most genius idea I've ever had. This year we celebrated our 2nd annual event and had such a blast! At the official count we had: 22 adults, 5 babies and 1 toddler cramped into our tiny apartment but everyone had a great time!
We celebrate in a more traditional and authentic way, playing Celtic music and serving up traditional Irish dishes. We joked about having an Irish jig competition but just had fun visiting with all our friends.
I've never worried about running out of food at one of my parties before, but this year it was a reality. People ate and ate until everything was gone. We served: Irish Country Stew; Soda Bread w/ Irish butter; Irish Cheddar & Dubliner Cheeses w/ Melba Toast; Scones (lemon ginger, raspberry white chocolate and blueberry); Eton Mess (meringue cookies in whipped cream with strawberries); Mini Toad in the Hole (sausage in Yorkshire pudding). To top it all off we served Mormon beer: Homemade Rootbeer carbonated with dry ice, which seriously stole the show! It was quite the feast!
Thanks so much for everyone who was able to attend! We had so much fun and look forward to hosting next year's big bash. Does March 15 sound good?
