Lil’ Bit O Irish…Lotta Green!
By: Ann Kyle
Posted on:
Whether being Irish is part of your heritage or not, the St. Patrick’s Day holiday instills a spirit in many of us! I am proud to say that part of my heritage is Irish and stems from my maternal grandmother’s side. The Love family migrated from Dublin, Ireland, to Pennsylvania in the late 1800s.
Most of our family reunions have been held in the Amity or Lone Pine, Penn. areas and there is no shortage of memorably rich food. My cousin Tommy created a family crest for our reunion tshirts and not a single one of us could deny the symbolism…it was of a knife and fork!
No matter how you get your green on perhaps your pot of gold will be at the end of this rainbow of recipes. May the luck of the Irish be with you.
