It's March 17, and you know what that means.  The wearing of the green!  Also, the eating of the green, and hopefully not Brussels sprouts.  That said, here are a few of the things that make St. Patrick's Day worth all the blarney. 

- Mint-flavored everything, especially those yummy, gummy candy leaves.

- Rainbow-colored everything, including these sponges I spied (a while ago -- see, those random pics come in handy!) at ShopRite.

- Glorious green in lime and emerald and every shade in between.  Check out a smidge of it in these tricked-out tulips that the husband picked up (also at ShopRite) for today's festivities.  He apologizes for their droopiness, which he attributes to their -- wait for it -- having hung out too long in the beer garden.  What can I say?  Corny jokes run amuck in this household.

- Potatoes with lots of cheese.

- Good luck.

- The promise of spring.

- Rainbow accessories (and napkins).  I know I already said rainbows, but fashion, diva that she is, demands her own entry.  

- And, finally, spending the day with (albeit Italian instead of Irish) family.  Which is my way of saying that the husband and I had my parents over.  The husband cooked; I was the sous chef.  And it was delightful.  Although we did eat lettuce, we also had hot cross buns, which feature those super sweet, candied green cherries.  Take that, Jolly Green Giant!

And that's the end of the list, leprechauns!  I hope your St. Paddy's was a good one, filled with rainbows and loved ones and kitsch-tastic fashion.  

And, of course, unhealthy green things to eat.
