Our monthly dinner in the community centre had the theme of St Patrick's Day. Everyone was encouraged to wear green. Because it is exam time for the Year Twelve students, they couldn't come to help out. The dinner committee asked for volunteers to help serve the meals. We have a roster system for cleaning up. There were prizes to win, trivia questions and Irish sing along as well as Irish line dancing.
Being green.
I had the Corned Beef Fritter. It doesn't sound much but it was delicious. Bill had the Guiness Lamb Stew Puff Pie Crust. He said it was delicious too.(I forgot to take a photo before he devoured it)
Dessert was tasty too.
Bill knew most of the answers. I was so happy that he was able to come to the dinner. He hasn't been well for a week or so. He called his cardiologist who wasn't available but he was told to ring the emergency room at the hospital. He was told to go in. So he spent Wednesday night in hospital, where the cardiologist adjusted his pacemaker, which wasn't keeping the right beat rate. He came home Thursday and enjoyed dinner on Friday. So that was good.
We came home with the loot.
Using the group's Irish Line Dancers is a great idea. It saves a fortune in entertainment costs and everyone loves the ladies' own contributions.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear Bill wasn't well but he did the best thing for heart issues, a public hospital. In a bit over a month we will be in England and no doubt eating mushy peas. I quite like them. Payola = wine and chocolates. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice event I see!

Well you had a good time then at the St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Lot's of green there in particular the colour green in the Irish Guards hats.
ReplyDeleteGlad Bill is doing ok, Pacemakers do get out of wack every now and then, don't they!
That's very green. I like corn beef fritters. Did those line dancers do the Irish jig?
ReplyDeleteFirst, glad that Bill was feeling better and able to attend what looked like a great holiday celebration, Diane. Congrats too on the double win of wine and chocolate. We also had a corned beef dinner, but the more traditional way with cabbage, potatoes and carrots. A corn beef fritter is something we’ve never tried, along with mushy peas.
ReplyDeleteWhew I'm glad Bill improved -- getting to attend this fun celebration was icing on the cake (the Baileys one, which looks delicious!) I hope the Pacemaker adjustment is perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased that Bill is doing okay.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a fun event and lovely to see all the green.
All the best Jan
Your celebrations always look like so much fun. Plus, you and Bill scored! So glad he's feeling better.
