Anyone have any good St. Patty's day ideas?
 
Make a "GREEN" recipe.

Have a Pot of Gold Drawing. For every $25 they spend, they can choose a piece of "gold" (a coupon) from the pot. If they spend $75 or more, they get a slip to fill out to win the pot itself.

Cut out shamrocks (4-leaf clovers cut from green paper) with my open dates written on each one. These will hang from the table from gold ribbons. If they book one of these "lucky" dates, then I will give them (or ???) on the day of their show.
 
Rockin' Rueben Ring

¾ pound Corned Beef
1/3 cup Extra Mild Sweet and Sauerkraut
¼ cup Chopped Onion
1/3 cup fresh parsley
1 cup Swiss Cheese, shredded
3 Tablespoons Bacon Flavored Thousand Island Dressing
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg white, whipped

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Unroll crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. With wide ends of triangles toward the center, arrange 8 triangles in a circle on Large Round Stone. Corners of wide ends will touch and points will extend 1 inch beyond edge of Baking Stone. Match wide end of each remaining triangle to wide end of each outer triangle; seal seams using Baker's Roller. (Note: Do not seal points overlapping in middle)

• Chop Corned Beef and onion with Food Chopper and place in Classic Batter Bowl. • Snip Parsley with Kitchen Shears and add to Batter Bowl • Grate Swiss Cheese with Deluxe Cheese Grater into Grate Container. • Add Cheese, Sauerkraut, Dressing and Pepper to Batter Bowl and mix • Using Large Stainless Steel Scoop, evenly spoon mixture onto arranged crescent rolls. • Beginning in center, lift one dough triangle across mixture. Continue alternating with outer strips, slightly overlapping to form ring. Tuck last end under the first. • Lightly brush egg white over dough using Pastry Brush. • Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until golden brown • Cut and Serve using Slice and Serve.
 
Let guests make their own Irish coffees, and serve the coffee from the carafe. This one's a little silly, but you could talk about all the tools that you can use with potatoes.
