Posts Tagged: Not a bite of health

St. Patrick’s Day began like any other beautiful, however windy, Saturday in Colorado.  Little did I know that my not-so-Irish blood  would make it difficult for me to keep up with the day’s jovial activities.  Alas, I survived but, I cannot say the same for this Shepherd’s Pie.  There wasn’t a bite left after the picnic and no, I wouldn’t chalk that up to the wind at City Park.  I’ll blame the wind for the broken volleyball net, thank you.
