As I said yesterday on the Mood Board, I'm not full Irish, but only a quarter Irish so that must count for something right? Tonight...time for my corned beef and cabbage dinner tonight!! It will slow cook while Im at work, and I have two friends coming in for dinner tonight. But a long-time reader here will tell you, that the Mistress LOVES Shamrock Shakes!!!! Alas this year I 've only enjoyed one, but rest assure I'll have another one today at some point! I present my Shamrock Shake!
And if we are not warmed up yet , my dear gin blossom friend across the pond Jon, reminded me it's the perfect time and day for the lovely Gardiner Brothers and their painted on black jeans!
Happy St Patrick's Day...indeed!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Maddie! So how many shamrock shakes have you squirrelled away in the freezer? Since your 15 pound weight loss, you got a good working margin now, LOL!
ReplyDeleteNone this year!!! I only had two this year and after that oral surgery, I'm down a total of 25 lbs! Swimsuit season is coming after all.
Delete🍀Lá Fhéile Pádraig !🍀
ReplyDeleteIrish eyes are smiling and ready to party like a Banshee :)
The Irish side of our family came to America in 1846 from Cork Ireland.
They were not ones who were going to starve to death due to the Great Famine, as they heard of innocents dying of starvation in the interior of Ireland. They knew it was best to leave their home country to survive.
The men wanted to go to Boston, but Granma Fitzgerald said the opportunities are sewn up by the Irish already there and insisted they set sail for an American territory called California. So the whole Fitzgerald clan boarded a great sailing ship that took them across the Atlantic to the Caribbean shores of Central America. It was not an easy voyage as one of the children died and was buried at sea. :(
When the great sailing ship set anchor off shore, they disembarked on a rowboat that took them ashore. They then purchased tickets for a stage coach to take them to the Pacific Coast, and there boarded a clipper ship that finally brought them to San Francisco, California. My great-father always said his great-grandmother, Granma Fitzgerald, was a great matriarch and a true inspiration with her wit and wisdom. And this from a lady who had no formal education. :)

OMG I love this so much!

I agree! That is a fabulous story for St Patrick's Day Rj! Family stories are the best aren't they?
DeleteWhat? No jiggers of Irish Whiskey?
ReplyDeleteI love these guys and your underwear. I had a shamrock shake once, but it didn’t do it for me. Still, the color is wondrous. Did a leprechaun houseboy take the picture? I thought it might be given the photographer’s position. Why else we the point of view be so low?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea why I'm so addicted to those shakes. And yes...a naughty leprechaun does seem to have caught my point of view.
DeleteYay for shamrock shakes!
ReplyDeleteAnd I think there’s a snake in your briefs. Quick, call St. Patrick!
XOXO
If you think you can tame it, have a hand at it..... LOL
DeleteHmmm Well.... Happy Saint Patrick's Day to You My Friend up in the North Land
ReplyDeleteWell your Lucky Charms have certainly woken me up. And I certainly wouldn't mind it taste if your Shamrock Shake! Happy Saint Patrick's Day mistress!
ReplyDeleteJust like the mistress, her milkshake brings all the boys to the yard! And I love watching his brother's dance. What time's din din I'll be over for the corned beef? Happy Saint Patty's Day!
ReplyDeleteThe brothers' synchronization is amazing! Enjoy your Shamrock Shake(s)!
ReplyDeleteSláinte, a chara! Good to see you got your bagpipe out for an airing. Jx
ReplyDeleteAny requests?
Delete"The Wild Rover" is probably the most appropriate for you, my dear... Jx
DeleteGood one dear suits me just fine...I love the Dubliners!
Delete"I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more."
I hear your lucky charms are magically delicious?!?
ReplyDeleteIncredible gentlemen. Incredible jeans. In credible moves.
They usually bring good luck when rubbed.
DeleteThey are delicious!
DeleteHappy St. Patty's Day!
ReplyDeleteI had a Shamrock Shake today...it was yummy! I have on Finian's Rainbow as I type this and thought of you.
I love the Gardiner brothers, I love it that young folk keep their culture going, yet it's always fresh with modern twists added. Happy St Patrick's Day Maddie!
ReplyDeleteThe Gardiner Brothers are a phenomenon! What a way to end the day...a boy in briefs enjoying a ice cream shake! I hope your also enjoying your dinner. Sounds yummy, love corned beef.
ReplyDeleteMy dinner was very delicious thank you for asking. It's so nice to be able to eat again!
DeleteGlad you got to shake your shamrocks!
ReplyDeleteSx
Your shamrocks are so creamy. (Somebody had to say it.)
ReplyDeleteI think the Lad would say the same thing, lol!
DeleteSteady Dave steady
DeleteWell, how those lads move in those tight jeans is a wonder.
ReplyDeleteGlad your shamrock was shook!
Being a lover of skinny jeans you would be amazed at how far they stretch. I love wearing them. Of course I'm also very thin.
DeleteAh, so well done.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely evening and a delish dinner!
It's been so hot I forgot about the holiday. I hope it was a great one!
ReplyDeleteI suspect you're going to have a HOT summer out there.
DeleteI hope the day was a good one! And you know I want a taste of the shake behind your legs right?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the holiday???? I seem to have had a moment only seeing pecs and basket. Oh... must be Easter?
ReplyDeleteI spiked my Shamrock Shake with Irish whiskey for a very Happy St Paddy’s :)
ReplyDelete🍀 CA jock
Ooh I like the way you think!
DeleteNow that is one shake that would go down quick! Every last drop too.
ReplyDelete* drops briefs, lays back, and spreads legs*
