This year, however, St. Patrick's Day is also graduation! Tomorrow, Nate will have the luck o' the Irish on his side as he defends his PhD Thesis, "Allele-specific Gene Regulation in Humans." What? I'm sure it will be fascinating and I am so excited for him! We're going to have a little dessert party tomorrow night with friends...where I'll pull out the green desserts, of course. Go Nate!
I can't even think about menus right now. Which is why this week's menu is LAME. I need to start packing since we're moving so soon...maybe I should pack my kitchen first so I CAN'T cook. Last night, Nate was saying that me having a food blog is like him (the scientist) having a painting blog. Ha ha ha ha...
MONDAY:
- Going out to a restaurant to celebrate!
TUESDAY:
- Lentil Soup (click on the link and scroll almost to the bottom...a delicious and easy recipe)
WEDNESDAY:
- Leftovers (which means, more soup.)
THURSDAY:
- Pizza
FRIDAY:
- Pasta
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Easter Sunday...I'll post the Easter dinner menu later this week!
PLEASE share menus the next few weeks. I need you to inspire each other since I'm a loser.
Okay, one more time...Go Nate!! :)
