Happy St. Patty's day! Last night I thought I would get lunch started for today by making bagels and mixing in some green candied cherries. So here's how it went down. Problem number one: apparently candied cherries are a Christmas only item. I only tried two stores but that was enough. So I thought I would substitute green jelly candies. Okay so this is where that rule "read the whole recipe first" comes in. I have made these before but it's been awhile and I ended up adding baking soda to my bagel dough that was only supposed to go in the boiling water. I didn't give up hope right away, but yes they were are disaster. So at this point I realize I'm out of eggs and it's too late to go out. So fortunately I had a vegan recipe for pretzel dough, and out popped these green pretzel shamrocks. So there you have it. Whipped up some green pudding, snap peas , crackers and cheese-voila! St. Patty's day lunch!
I think we all have days like that! Sometimes the lunches don't turn out anything like what we'd planned. Your's looks great though! Cool idea for the green pretzel dough!!

ReplyDeleteI love the whole green theme. It's so vibrant and cartoony. It reminds me of when I was a kid and my mother decided since there was no blue food she would create some. Those are the kinds of things kids remeber wehn they are 30!
