((our last)) st patty's day table for two

for some bizarre reason, i decided a few weeks ago to make this year's st patty's day "special." i'm not exactly sure where this idea came from, but i think it might have something to do with the few bouts of "it's now or never"-itis that have recently plagued me.

kenny and i have NEVER done ANYTHING for st patty's day--quite frankly, i'm a bit of a bore when it comes to "get-plastered" holidays--so i thought i'd just do something small to celebrate the day other than wear green. (thanks to chenelle for the shirt i got numerous compliments on today.)

our "special" st patty's day meal:
homemade irish soda bread
roasted potatoes with bacon
roasted chicken with bacon and cabbage
green Bud Golden Wheat beer for kenny
green Sprite for me ;)
((holy COW that is a LOT of food on our plates!!))

dinner was followed by relaxing on the couch, watching 16 and pregnant. yes, i LOVE that show and yes, it's because it makes me feel better about myself (about becoming a mom in the very near future). don't judge me. it's not like you don't watch maury or dr phil at the end of a rough day, just so you can say "my day sucked, but their LIFE sucks."

i almost forgot about dessert. sadly there are no photos, but there *were* oatmeal lace cookies with dipping sauce. they were okay--nothing special really. i think that the items with bacon in them turned out the greatest. maybe that's because i just recently started buying pig bacon. turkey bacon is just NOT the same!
