Day of Green...with Food

Green is my favorite color, so I generally like St. Paddy's Day, though I think the getting drunk craziness is stupid and not really that much fun. I have taken the holiday as an opportunity to cook tasty things. Christy said she'd help me out with the cooking, which is awesome because she's a great cook and a funny person.

Our menu includes:
Colcannon
Irish Lamb Stew
Guinness Bread

All the recipes are care of Simply Recipes.com. They were well equipped with St. Paddy's Day recipes, and I was excited to find a corned beef and cabbage alternative in the lamb stew. I like lamb, and I do not like corned beef--it's so salty.

Brooke and Ryane are coming. Lindsey might pop downstairs for a bite--though I'm destroying mashed potatoes by putting greens in them. I don't know that she'll want to eat anything, except maybe Guinness bread. Mariya and Lacey will be there, and maybe Ashley, Alyssa, and Justin, but I have my doubts. Hooray!

Maybe I should dye the broth green on the soup? Nah!
