St. Patrick’s Day is one holiday that most of the world enjoys celebrating. These days, celebrating St. Patty’s Day means green clothes, green drinks, and green rivers, with the loose interpretation of an Irish shamrock meets the luck of the Irish and “Kiss me, I’m Irish." The real story behind St. Patrick’s Day begins with a teenager, who was believed to be named Maewyn Succat. He was not even Irish! At the age of 16, Maewyn was kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in Ireland as a sheepherder. It was there that he learned the Irish language and began to pray to the God his parents had told him about. Maewyn was in slavery for about six years when he escaped. It is said that he had a dream from God telling him to walk along the coast and find a ship waiting to sail to Britain. He did as God told him in his dream and there was a ship, and he escaped. There are many stories as to the timeline of Maewyn’s life, but one thing everyone agrees on is that aft...
I did notice. I'm guessing you have a good reason ;)
ReplyDeleteI made....was that just yesterday? I made a very veggie black bean soup. I have no recipe because I just read several and then made it up, but it is delish!
Lets see... 2 cans of black beans, rinsed - one mashed
1 onion
1 large carrot
2 cloves of garlic
1 bell pepper
it was either 1 whole or a 1/2 bunch of swiss chard
a heaping teaspoon cumin
2-3 cups veggie broth
2-3 cups water
I made it Saturday too, with out the onion, swiss chard or carrot, and that was good too - but the extra veggies are extra nutrients!
Hope you are having fun!
