So here it is for you to enjoy  http://www.instructables.com/id/St-Patricks-Shamrock-aint-a-clover/  Edit :  Dear Jayho : oodles  ? noodles, you mean?    Never heard that word before so I had to look it up!   Thank you, you native lads and gals for teaching us those funny expressions of yours! I love reading you. Thank you Alienboy and Maryse  EDIT @ Jayho : thank you  for the link to the definition. In the first place, I thought it was a new recipe : �clover noodles�

							| Hi Mariethe   As AB said, shamrock is simply clover. Clover has 3 leaves but if you happen upon a 4 leaf clover, it is not shamrock but it will bring you good luck!   Clover is a weed here. And in all my years of weeding out oodles  of clover from my garden I have never seen a four leafed clover. So no luck for me!  Clovers!   Jayho   Edit 1: Mariethe, oodles means lots of       |  19 Mar 2015
