This is Caitlin and Dwayne (not a couple). Our house was so crowded, that you got cozy with all your new 'friends.' BTW, William was talking this morning about 'somebody even had a button that said 'beer is food!'" I think Wm might be headed to WSU in 12 years. I was needing a sous-chef to make the sauce, and Kasey O'Wagoner stepped up and made delicious sauce for everyone! Darn! Wish the camera had been out sooner. They are the fun couple who invited us to the sake seminar (blog to come).
I am so sad I was busy and didn't get all of Hallie's children. This is Stefan, and he's 'in the green.' Dougie had a huge green glitter tie, and even the baby wore green!
Olivia, Claire and William are upstairs playing alligator bite. You take turns pushing down a tooth, and at random, one of the teeth makes it chomp. William even made a new sign on his door. It said 'Kids Room,' but it was all in greens! He likes helping set up for these parties. Hallie did me a solid, and had him over for a play-date, so I could cook and clean the afternoon away.
If you look into the kitchen, you will see me and William. I just loved everyone who got into the green spirit. The only one to show up without green on? Tim. So, he had to hold a green beer at all times!
Yep, he's got that green beer in his hand!
Tim, Dwayne, Mary, Allie (Dwayne's wife, and a person who knows how to have a fun time... she put St. Pat stickers on everyone, kept the games and conversations going... AWESOME friend) and Don.
Emily and Mark. She had a green Irish rugby club shirt on when she came in. But with 4 crock pots and 3 burners going on the stove, it was hot in the house, so she ditched it. Her kids were well dressed, too! Fun to go green!
Hallie had the best get-up and is my 'has your back friend.' Although, she'll go back home this summer. She also pours a mean 'black and tan.' She says she's putting her engineering masters degree into good use... the laws of fluid dynamics, etc. I agree! Good job!
Sorry it's a bit blurry. Erin (there's a real Irish name for you) and Hallie. Erin is our babysitter who braves hoards of children and watches them a bit, so the parents can relax. Erin go braugh!
Eventually, some real poker actually got played. Oops! Almost caught Tim without his green beer in his hand! Pinch!

And Ken is sitting on our "Patio Funiture" (old Irish joke.)
The Wii game was hilarious. 4 drivers competing. It was so fun. Erin, do you know where the children are?
I was sorry not to get pictures of the Connors and Murphys. They are truly Irish, and legitimized our event. Dona contributed crock-pots, and as the closest (to walk to) neighbor, is AWESOME. Sean was sick, so she had to go home. Tom made his soda bread. It's an old Connor family recipe. He asked his mom for the recipe, and she said she'd never seen it written down, she just makes it. So, she told him what it was, he wrote it down, and now makes it for St. Pat's and other Connor Family events. I think that is so cool! They bring it every year, and I slather it with butter, and.... Irish heaven!

This was the invitation. It's all about being eco-friendly around here!
The sauce is a cream sauce, where you use whiskey to deglaze the shallot. Then you cook it off, and add cream and dijon mustard. Very nice with corned beef.
