Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Feeling LUCKY!

We sat down for our St. Patrick's Day dinner at the incredible petrified wood table. The rings of age alone can mesmerize me for days. The table was sprinkled with mint chocolate cupcakes from our favorite local bakery SweetCakes. Pure white Gerber daisies, green poofs and tiny pink flowers on what looked like a rosemary sprig sprung out of the dark Guinness Bottle vases. The kitchen was full of rich flavors making our mouths water from the moment we walked in the door. The boys told tales from their day at the auto show that confirmed this memory will far out weigh the consequences of missing a few hours of school. Snow was whiting out the lake just a few yards away as huge snowflake fell from the sky. Lond got to sit in a one of a kind Lamborghini and they make the highlight real of the Denver Auto Show. Jess had a refreshing day with out her phone. I caught up on laundry and had a ‘me too’ moment while cutting fat off of a chicken thigh. There is fat all over chicken thighs. This is a complete side note, but I need to have a conversation with someone who eats chicken thigh often. Do you eat all the lard on there? That grosses me out! I spent hours trimming chicken thighs for dinner tomorrow and decided it's breast from here on out. How do you do it? Anyway we had an incredible meal together. Together, that's the key word. 

 

Happy St. Pat's friends! I am lucky to have you as friends!
