I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover...And Some Bangers And Mash too!

Recipe: Bangers and Mash
Song: I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover by Emmy Rosum

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Let's not forget the real reason we celebrate this holiday. Today is the day that St. Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland! I hate snakes. To be completely honest, they're something that I'm afraid of, so I give St. Patrick a lot of credit. Hey, I'm not the only one that's afraid of snakes-Michael Phelps is, too! 

Everyone loves St. Patrick's Day. It's a fun holiday, and everywhere you go, you're always surrounded by more and more green. So for St. Patrick's Day, I knew that I just had to make an Irish meal. I'm actually mostly Irish and Italian, but no one really sees that. Every year on this holiday, my mom makes the same Irish meal: Corned Beef and Cabbage. I decided to venture out and make something different. I really wanted to make Shepherd's Pie, but of course my mom doesn't like it so that wasn't an option. Instead, I decided to make Bangers and Mash and found a recipe on the internet.

Unfortunately, the recipe didn't turn out well. In fact, it was so awful that I didn't want to post it. However, I will definitely look for other Bangers and Mash recipes to try. If you have one, feel free to send it to me! I'm disappointed that I didn't have a great recipe for this holiday, but there's always next year, right?

Here's a picture of my Bangers and Mash with cabbage-it looks better than it tasted.

The song that I decided to pair with the Bangers and Mash is obviously an Irish one. You've probably heard of it. It's called "I'm Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover." And who would be better at singing it than Emmy Rosum? She was phenomenal in "The Phantom of the Opera." To hear her sing a cover of this classic Irish song, click here.
