I usually go crazy on St. Patrick's Day...all of our food is green...green french fries, green salad, green fruit dip, green mashed potatoes, green rice krispie treats, green punch...you name it, I've turned it green...although, I've yet to figure out green corned beef!
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!! :)
