Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 

 

Hi Friends!  It is time for Hodgepodge so I am linking up with the lovely Joyce and answering her fun questions...here we go...

 

1. St. Patrick's Day lands on March 17th. Do you believe in luck? Are there things you do thinking they'll bring good luck or things you avoid because they're considered bad luck? 

 

 

I believe in Good Faith

 

 

2. Forest-lime-sage-mint-olive-emerald...what's your favorite shade of green? 

 

 

 Not listed here but Kelly Green- it is actually my favorite color to wear- only third to pink and sky blue :)

 

 

 

3. In Ireland the meal on this day is often a hearty beef or lamb stew served with colcannon (mashed potato mixed with cabbage and leeks). In the US corned beef and cabbage is the more typical St. Patty's Day meal. Will you/did you mark the day with one of these dishes? Baked-fried-roasted-mashed...what's your favorite way to eat a potato?

 

 

 I won't be making any of those dishes.  We are not Irish so never had that tradition.  My Mother In Law would make the Boiled Corned Beef Dinner once in awhile and Rob always looked forward to that. I guess some kind of "Doctored-Up Mashed Potato" would be my fave- for example, I throw a wheel of Boursin Cheese into our mashed potatoes nowadays because Eva goes crazy for them :)

 

 

4. What color of the rainbow best represents your personality/mood today? Tell us why. 

 

Well...I am writing this on my lunch break on Monday and it has been a super gloomy day here...but Black is not in the rainbow is it?  Ha :/

 

5. Which 'lucky' quote resonates with you. Elaborate. 

 'Luck is not something you can mention in the presence of self-made men.' E.B. White 

'Diligence is the mother of good luck." Benjamin Franklin 

'Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.' Seneca 

'Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.' Ralph Waldo Emerson 

 

 

 

None of the above although that first quote is quite genius if you ask me...I love this one I found

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

 

The only St. Patty's Tradition I have is a dinner out with the Fab Four- we started the tradition EIGHT years ago...so this year will be our 9th time..can't believe it has been that long! We are going out this Friday night and I have my kelly green shirt ready to go!  The collage has our first 7 years...then the 2nd picture is our 8th year...last year...stay tuned for #9!
