Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Shamrock Shake

Posted in Dessert, Joyce, Mr., tagged McDonald's Canada, Shamrock Shake, St. Patrick's Day on March 17, 2011| 2 Comments »

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

You know what, up until I moved to Canada I never knew the existence of this holiday, let alone celebrating it. Then I found out it’s a religious holiday – but shamrock, leprechuan and the pot of gold also got thrown in the picture! Anyway, in North America, part of our tradition is to drink up a Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s. And I didn’t know about this until after St. Patty’s Day last year! So as soon as March rolled around, Mr. and I went to McDonald’s and grabbed a Shamrock Shake.
