Luck of the Irish!

St. Patrick's Day fell on the third Thursday of the month this year, so it was practically begging Cara to host an Irish themed meal.  We gathered for a feast of predinner delights, including a Cheese and Guinness Fondue, served with crusty bread, apple slices and roasted cauliflower and broccoli.  The main meal featured Shepard's Pie, boiled cabbage, other traditional Irish fare and green inspired dishes.  The evening was capped off with a selection of sweets and Bailey's on the rocks.  Heidi provided our gold at the end of the rainbow (cupcakes) with her homemade chocolate truffles.

She can fondue- can you?
