I used a black cloth to pick up the colors of the black and green napkins..

White chargers...

Black plates...

Shamrock bowls..

Alabaster napkin rings...

Clear and black goblets...

I made a centerpiece with some mums, green ribbon and a few little hats...

My version of Chicken Kiev..
chicken cutlet stuffed with Kerry swiss,
butter, scallions and parsley rolled and dipped in egg wash then a mixture of flavored bread crumbs and flour...

  8. Perfection once again! I can't wait to see your tablesetting for the party! The black tablecloth just makes all the greens pop. I love St. Patrick's prayer too.

    Chicken Kerry looks so good! Is Kerry a brand name or a type of swiss? The molded rice makes me smile...Perfection from beginning to end.

  20. Kathleen, the black tablecloth is a nice back drop for the dishes. A very clever shamrock rice mold! You do know that I am jotting down all your ideas in case I feel the desire to do an dinner party next March! We have a similar chicken dish and love it. Great post, and I can't wait until your party on the 17th.

    On St. Patrick's Day evening DH & I are going to our local Irish pub which is having a band and a big to-do. It's our favorite restaurant and we keep thinking we must be at least honorary Irish! :D Jewel
