I don't worry anymore
about being pinched
with green permanently inked
The coins were hidden again
by Seamus, the leprechaun
for the now-twenty-three-year-old
to find and enjoy--
all sixty-eight bits of chocolate
And I found a smidge of motivation
to bake again,
first a shortbread of knots
then some orange-flavored,
mint-iced shamrocks
It was a good day to be Irish.
Chris - these are GORGEOUS! I am in awe of your baking skills. Such a fun celebration of heritage - and having a child at home for the festiveness adds another layer of savoring. How I'd love to taste these scrumptious-sounding shamrocks and that elegant shortbread - oh, so good to be Irish, yes!
