Irish Tricolors

Happy St. Patrick's Day to one and all.  Is there a connection between Irish-American heritage and gelatin? Read on....

On the night of April 14th, 1912  a dessert of peaches in a Chartreuse jelly was served to Margaret Brown, a, Irish-American woman renown for having gone from housemaid to high society socialite.  Hours later, the vessel on which she sailed, the Titanic, sank and Margaret acquired her famous moniker, The Unsinkable Molly Brown.  Did the jelly save her life?!  Possible... very possible.......

Here are some pieces I made for a party in Boston.  The Irish Tricolor.
