St. Patrick's Day Illustrated Quote with Dog

I scanned the dog from my antiquarian book on Royal Crests. After inserting the quote and putting it on a bed of shamrocks it became perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

Green Tea Latte for St. Patrick's Day

*Matcha green tea and milk, lightly sweetened served over ice*

I'm having my morning coffee right now but if I were out and about I might consider stopping at Starbucks® for an iced green tea latte. It looks very refreshing, doesn't it? Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day.

Cottage in Ireland

Well, it could be Ireland. Don't you love this setting? Springtime anywhere is wonderful.

"May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through." An Irish Blessing for St. Patrick's Day!

Irish Shamrock (Trifolium dubium)

"May your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow, and may trouble avoid you wherever you go." An Irish Blessing

Happy St. Patrick's Day. Everyone's Irish today.

The Official Irish Shamrock is Trifolium dubium. It is pictured in an Irish Belleek bowl planted in genuine Irish dirt.

Green Pound Cake for St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is March 17th so you have one whole week to buy the ingredients to make this green pound cake. The recipe makes two loaves. You probably have all of the ingredients on hand right now. The only things I don't have are buttermilk and avocado. Actually, I do have one avocado but need another one to make 1-1/2 cups. Market day is today so I'll buy several more. This looks good and the green color is natural without the addition of food coloring. Pistachio ice cream is green, isn't it? That would be good on the side. Yum. Everybody's Irish on St. Patrick's Day.
Avocado Pound Cake
I think I'll eliminate one cup of sugar. I don't like things that are too sweet. I'm sure that won't make a difference in the baking chemistry, will it?
