I know we are all happy that March 1 is on the horizon,
and Spring is on it’s way!
St. Patrick’s day is an important holiday at my house,
no I’m not Irish, but my grand, CC, was born on St. Patrick’s Day
She’s definitely a cute and mischievous leprechaun!
According to Wikipedia,
“The introduction of the potato in the second half of the 16th century
heavily influenced Ireland’s cuisine thereafter and,
as a result, is often closely associated with Ireland”
