A first

I know St. Patrick's Day was last week, but it's still on my mind!! While I was on Spring Break in Michigan last week, I had my first Shamrock Shake. McDonald's sells these yummy mint shakes only in the month of March, and only in certain states (find the shake where you are!)


On the way up to Michigan, I asked my husband what they tasted like anyway.

"Are they pistachio?" I said.

"No, they taste like ground up shamrocks and leprechauns. In fact, you have to pick out all the red beard hairs."

Yes, I married a real funny man.

In any case, when I finally tasted my first Shamrock Shake, I was ADDICTED! Seriously so tasty, people. But they don't sell them here in Texas so I'm going into withdrawal.

Can you get them where you are? And if you can, will you go get one for me?!

    I just introduced my husband to Shamrock shakes the other day! In some McD's you an also ask them to mix half Shamrock and half Chocolate shake and it becomes a mint chocolate shake!!

    My hubby loves those... me not so much. It reminds me of drinking a Mylanta shake--
    When I lived in Texas I am pretty sure my husband got his fix.. but we lived in Ft. Hood Texas so I imagine Mickey D's wouldn't want to disappoint our soldiers : )

    I can get them, but I haven't because I'm scared to drink something green. I'll go get one for you though :)

    Hubby treats us all every St.Patrick's Day as part of the days festivities.

    The kids love it!

    Ooooh, honey. I used to do the advertising for McDonald's and whenever the SS came around, I had the radio/TV stations from the markets NOT carrying the shakes calling and begging us to ship them some. No lie. It's insanity... but what can I say? They are SO GOOD!
