Shawn's Irish Cream & St.Patrick's Day Tablescape


It's almost Saint Patrick's Day again!  Do you celebrate or do anything special?   We usually make some sort of Irish dish, either a stew or Colcannan as a side dish and always, always, always have homemade Irish cream.   We serve the Irish Cream over coffee flavored ice cream and crumble heath bars on top.  It's my favorite way to have Irish Cream.  I've made truffles with it as well and of course it's great in coffee too.  I've shared some tablescape pics from the past since we are in the midst of packing up and painting a new house.  
































May you live as long as you want, And never want as long as you live.

  14. Hoping you had a lovely St. Patrick's Day, Nancy. Your tables for this day have always been so lovely. And I remember the Irish Cream! This year I made a simple beef stew on Sunday, the day before, and then mixed cabbage into mashed potatoes (bubble and squeak) to have with some ham on St. Patrick's Day. Good solid cottage fare! Wishing you a lovely Spring and much good luck with your new home.
