That is a <i>major</i> workout; the effortless look is achieved by wearing practice shoes that weigh twice as much as the performance shoes. I keep thinking about lessons, but my knees aren't thrilled with the idea.pastrywitchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09143587662242345203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080647999171945249.post-72864349424700893212010-06-18T04:28:53.600-07:002010-06-18T04:28:53.600-07:00One of our son-in-laws is pure Irish,from the Port...One of our son-in-laws is pure Irish,from the Portland area..many relatives still in Ireland.

Nice.<br><br>Never saw Riverdance live but have watched it on TV several times and always in total awe and amazement. How feet can move that quickly is beyond my comprehension.<br><br>Surprised that the Irish fete didn't have potatoes in at least 20 different ways of preparation. When my hubby was there he said you had potatoes with every meal and not just cooked one way but in various fashion; fried, baked, boiled, broiled, mashed, spiced, pickled and poached.

Beer and 'ba-day-das (or for those who aren't Boston Irish -- potatos).<br><br>Now I can't say I've ever tried a pickled potato Anna but yup, they're pretty much a staple of the diet.
