Green Eggs & Boxty

Do you know what I'd like to do this weekend more than anything? Watch the Chicago River turn green. (RIGHT?!) Picture this. Forty pounds of vegetable food coloring, into the Chicago River...how can you not want to?!


Maybe it's me. Maybe because I spent the entire day baking and icing 576 cookies shaped like Shamrocks. Maybe because I have this inexplicable craving for all things Irish, including a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's, which technically isn't Irish. Or maybe, maybe I'm just all for seeing, tasting, feeling and eating things I've never seen, tasted, felt nor ate. This is what I live for!

Am I scaring you? Stay with me. There's more. I swear.

Top 5 Irish-American Foods I'd Like to Eat This Weekend:
