On Saint Patrick's Day, everyone enjoys going out or having parties at home. However, any good party comes with good snacks and drinks. To spice up your party, it's even better if you made everything Saint Patrick's Day themed in the same way you would make everything the same theme as any other holiday. Here are some fan favorites to get you started for your party this year.

1. Green Beer

This is a must. It's a party so a lot of people enjoy the alcoholic beverages, but on top of that it has to be green.

2. Green Cake

All it takes is regular vanilla cake batter and a little bit of green food coloring. Decorate with green sprinkles or even just green icing. If you don't want to make a whole cake, then make some cupcakes.

3. Mint. So Much Mint.

Mint is green and tasty, so it's the perfect combination for a treat for the party. Make chocolate mint cookies. Make chocolate mint brownies. Take the chocolate mint bars from Olive Garden. The possibilities are endless.

4. Green Krispie Treats

It's everyone's favorite treat, Rice Krispie treats. However, this time, you make them GREEN. Easy to make and easy to make St. Patrick's Day themed.

5. Shamrock Shake

Your milkshake will bring all the boys to the yard… especially on St. Patrick's Day. Regular milkshakes with a little mint or food coloring are perfect.

6. Key Lime Cheesecake Squares

Make it green. Because it's key lime. Boom.

7. Sherbet Punch

Add the sherbet, some lime, and some 7-up and BOOM. An easy punch to keep the people happy.

8. M&Ms

Pick out all the green M&Ms. That's right, all of them. Or just pre-order a bag of all green. I think either one works.

9. Fortune Cookies

You can order green fortune cookies online and then you don't have to do any preparation or cooking. Easy.

Basically, any normal treat works but you just want to make it green. I'm talking Dr. Seuss green eggs and ham type deal, but next level and a lot more extra. Everyone will appreciate the extra mile you went to make everything fit the theme and they'll enjoy your tasty sweets at the same time.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
