St. Patrick’s Day is fast
approaching. Next Thur
sday, the whole nation will
be honoring the patron saint
of Ireland. His death on
March 17, 461 has been ob
served in America since
colonial days with the
shamrock serving as the
symbol of this day. Ac
cording to legend, St.
Patrick used the shamrock,
which is the national flower
of Ireland, to illustrate the
Holy Trinity.
From this religious
beginning, the holiday has
evolved to hold secular
significance, as well, with
people wearing green and
hosting St. Paddy’s Day
parties.
Thanks to several con
tributors to the “Home on
the Range” column this
week, you should have no
trouble thinking of foods to
serve on a buffet table for
your St. Patrick’s Day
gathering of friends. There is
a wide range to choose from,
starting out with a holiday
punch, breads, pies,
potatoes, and gelatin salads.
They are all great St.
Paddy’s day ideas and we
want to thank the ladies who
took the time to look through
their recipe files to come up
with foods that fit the bill.
