Irish Potato Soup

The letter of the day is I and no better time for the letter I than right before the Irish Holiday St. Patricks Day. Do you all know who St. Patrickn was? The story goes that St. Patrick is the reason that there aren't any snakes in Iresland because he chased them all out. But there is even more to St. Patrick than the story of the snakes there is also the story of how he shared the trinity of the father, son and holy spirit through a shamrock.
