With the listing as hot and cold, it sounds like the dinner was served as a
buffet, rather than in courses or family-style.

I'm going to keep this menu in mind next time St. Patrick's Day rolls
around; the smoked salmon with potato cake sounds like something I'd like to
make for that occasion. Also, the ham on a cheddar scone with apple jelly
sounds like it'd make a nice breakfast. In fact, the entire menu looks
well-planned, and I hope the diners enjoyed it.

I'd never heard of "St. Patrick's Day Cookies" before, and Google seems to
indicate that the term is fairly meaningless: I ran across oatmeal cookies,
shortbread cookies, butter cookies, and even chocolate-chip cookies using
M&Ms, all calling themselves "St. Patrick's Day Cookies". Is there some
standard recipe for cookies which are supposed to be served on St. Patrick's
Day, or does the term simply refer to any cookies which are served on that
day?

I'd be willing to wager a small amount that they were sugar cookies
cut into
shamrock shapes with green icing or green sugar.

I saw that and chuckled. I was thinking they're sugar cookie cut-outs
in shamrock shapes.

How about M&M cookies with only green M&Ms? (save the other colors for
Easter?)

Making it green NEVER made anything Irish.

Well, I know that. But just try to get them to stop
dyeing the Chicago River green in march.

Surprised me that the EPA hasn't spoken up on that. They have their
nose in everything else.

So what was the point of your green menu, hypocrite?

Remember your green menu? I mean this one, that YOU POSTED:

Why is all that GREEN in there? Please explain your over-the-top use of the
color green, if you don't think it makes the menu look "Irish". Or better
yet, just put your tail between your legs and slink away, having been shown
for the fool you are once again.
