For most of my childhood, I looked forward to March as not only the beginning of spring, Kansas thunderstorms, and college basketball finals, but as the month when McDonald's brought back its Shamrock Shake.
For those unfamiliar, the Shamrock Shake is a McDonald's beverage created in honor of St. Patrick's Day, a mint-flavored milkshake that is tinted light green. Although quite popular in the 1990s, the drink started becoming less and less available in recent years. There's even a website now, http://www.shamrockshake.com/, that unites Shamrock Shake lovers and helps them to find the drink at McDonald's' nationwide.
My mission for this month is to locate the Shamrock Shake in Kansas City and celebrate it for its creativity and beauty (that minty, sea foam green color of the shake is really gorgeous).
I'll be sure to keep you updated on my quest, and feel free to join me in the search.

Last March I had an incredible hankering for the beloved shamrock shake. Initially, I was unable to locate a McDonald's in Lawrence, Kansas that was selling one. If I believe correctly - my local Mickey-D's in Overland Park was also lacking the best shake in creation. However, this account does not end in disappointment. That Spring Break I was meeting my Mom, Grammy and little brother down at the Lake of the Ozarks. On my way through Sedalia, Missouri I decided to take a chance on their shamrock shakeness. They were eager to please. I do not think I have ever been more pleased with a road trip to the lake.
