JDaniel loves shrimp so, when I saw it on sale at one of our local grocery stores I grabbed a bag. He loves cheese too. Seeing the cheese sails on the shrimp boats made him really happy. “I know not to eat the tails,” he informed me before happily digging in.
His tin also included Italian flag colored veggies (sweet potato fries, regular french fries, and scary looking green beans), three Italian cheese mac and cheese, and Italian Cheese Cheese-Its. Columbus was from Italy after all.
How are you celebrating Columbus Day?

Love what you did for Columbus day, especially the Italian flag!
Grumpy Grateful Mom says
I’ll be honest, I forgot about Columbus day, but we’ll have to do something. Maybe we’ll have a pretend ship race tonight. 🙂 I love your shrimp boats. My daughter likes to eat the tails–bleh.
Lisa @ Two Bears Farm says
Great tin! I totally forgot it was Columbus Day! Until I got an email offering me a code to get 14.92% off any purchases. 14.92%? Then I made the connection!

For some reason some blogger blogs won’t let me post comments and yours in one of them. I have no idea why it boots me off. Hopefully this will work – LOVE the sail/shrimp boats…Too cute!!

Love the boats! We did a fair bit this year for Columbus Day, but it was a lot more academic. I would choose Spain colors though 🙂
