Settlers and St Pats

No, neither have anything to do with each other, but it just worked out that way!  Ruben had another Settlers of Catan tourney at our house Saturday afternoon, and since the spouses and families would come later for supper, I decided to make it a GREEN party too!  And since there are some special folk in this area that came all the way to visit us in Ireland, they came to the party too :)
It was a really great evening.  Food food and more food!  Brisket, ribs, sausage were Texan, but then Irish soda bread, cheese ball flag, rainbow fruit with bucket of gold at the end (rolo's), pistasscio salad, potato salad, veg tray with green dip, green bean casserole, kale salad, guac and chips... what am I missing?!  Then for dessert, the awesome cupcakes April decorated, 4 types of icecream, tray bakes representing the north and south of Ireland and apple pie!
I had fun turning the house into looking like Ireland villages with the green white and orange pennant flags stringing from pole to pole!
Ireland has just a wee :) bit of a special spot in our hearts, so from now on, I have a feeling there will be a St Pats party each year!
