It had been a while since La Fee Verte had gone all out and held a party. Nothing about this particular day demanded celebration, but sometimes the days with nothing to throw a party for were the best occasions ( Read more... )

All was in readiness. La Fee Verte had badgered the house elves into redecorating the Little Green Apple in a remarkably tacky faithful reproduction of retro faux-Polynesian chic. Laid out on one table was a feast of various 'island delicacies', the centerpiece of which was a whole roast pig. On the bar was a row of tiki mugs waiting to be filled, ( Read more... )

Spring is here, spring, is here...

And to celebrate, there was a new special at the Little Green Apple.

La Fee Verte was optimistic.

Saint Patrick's Day was just around the corner. A whole holiday, just for drinking! With an emphasis on green, at that.
