Every St. Patrick’s Day, Jason and I cook an Irish feast together and then watch some Patty flick while our bellies grumble about overuse. Both of us look forward to this ritual, despite our stomachs’ mixed feelings.

Jason decided that festive hats were essential to the success of our meal preparations.

This year we decided to make some tried-and-true dishes for our shamrocked supper: Shepherd’s Pie and Irish Soda Bread. No need for Irish luck, these recipes turned out perfect on their own. Then, Leap Year provided post-pig-out giggles.

Making Irish Soda Bread is relatively easy but messy. It's a bit messier when I'm involved.

Our meal turned out tasty. Don't believe me? Just ask the little green men.

It was a grand night spent laughing and eating, two of my favorite things. If you can’t find a pot of gold, a pot of yummy grub is the next best thing.
