hi diddly di, me pot o' gold

growing up, my mom used to always make corned beef and cabbage for st. patrick's day. i always loved that tradition. since i am not as together as my mother. and, since i didn't have the forethought to get all the fixins for such a delectable irish feast, we didn't have corned beef and cabbage today. instead, we went big this year and started our own tradition - shamrock shakes from mcdonald's! this ice cream treat had nothing to do with taste, and everything to do with tradition. after all, with a name like erin, a st. patty's day tradition should probably be mandatory.
