Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Last night we had our St. Patrick’s Day party which was full of four-leaf clovers and fighting. On tv that is. Anyone else watch GSP vs. Diaz? I actually am a fan of Ultimate Fighter and was rooting for GSP. Apparently Diaz was on that show too but I can’t recall. Who wouldn’t go for GSP really? Diaz has a mouth on him. Anyways, Here’s some pictures of the set up.
Of course I made pretzel rolls with dipping sauces (and little signs so you knew what you were dipping the pretzel in). The jalapeno cream cheese was actually my favorite dip! I just mixed up 4 oz of cream cheese with one chopped, poached, seeded jalapeno, a bit of paprika, and about 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese and warmed it for about 30 seconds in the microwave. Delicious!
And there was the “traditional” Shepherd’s pie. It was more of a herder’s pie since it had hamburger instead of lamb, but hey, I’m not actually Irish. And lastly we had a green velvet cheesecake. I melted the frosting and poured it on so it was smooth, but I could not for the life of me figure out how then to get the cake onto a new surface. Oh well, it tasted good. I used four heart cookie cutters to make the shamrock after seeing a wreath tutorial from A Little Tipsy.
Speaking of Shamrock wreaths, I picked up with cute wood shamrock door hanger from Michael’s for a mere $8. I considered making my own festive wreath but honestly it would cost much more than that so hey- why not? Our last bit of décor was this “Faith, hope, luck” sign I made. I just use frames I have lying around for these occasions, so all it cost me was the ink and the paper.
Me and the husband our busy painting the bedroom today yay! New things are happening. We’re off! From Kito and I- have a great green weekend!
