Top 5 Green Things
... Or, Please Lord, don't bring back the Shamrock Shake!
St. Patrick's day is a tricky thing for me to celebrate. Don't get me wrong, I love Irish stuff (U2, corned beef and cabbage, good whiskey, etc). I even like the color green. What I can't stand, however, is when people feel compelled to turn food and other random things, that are not NATURALLY green, into instant St. Patty's day props by way of green paint or food coloring. I love green vegetables but I HATE food that is made to look bright green, just because it's March 17th. The mere site of these items literally makes my skin crawl… green cookies, beer and the infamous Shamrock Shake? YUCK!
So anyway - here are some (naturally occurring) green things I do like:
1. Broccoli
2. Olives
3. My herb garden
4. The Green Hornet (well, actually I was more of a Kato fan)
5. Cash
Bonus: Kermit the Frog

I hear you, Lisa. I went to an upscale restaurant in downtown San Francisco today and my risotto was green. It was delicious, but nevertheless, it was green.
That's just so wrong.
