Daily Work: St. Patrick’s Day Fun

Celebrated St. Pat’s Day by chunking up a big ol’ slab of corned beef and plopping it in the crock pot for the day.

Took Holli and Kelli for a partial tour of the office, since we needed to go pick up some Girl Scout cookies for them to take back to Virginia. I provided an intriguing tour of campus, marked mainly by my lack of knowledge on what any of the buildings were. I did manage to show them the farms. You gotta see the cows if you’re gonna come to town. Then we concluded this fun with a trip to the grocery store. We’re such wild women.

I made cabbage and mashed potatoes with green onions to go with the corned beef (and chicken breasts for Kelli). The potatoes were the big hit. Who knew I was so good at potatoes? All I did was saute the onions on a stick of butter, but somehow the onions spread a sweet carmelized taste through the entire pan. Very yummy. Kelli proclaimed them the best mashed potatoes she’d ever had (and that’s no easy accomplishment).

Then it was movie time. We watched the Spongebob Squarepants Movie, because I enjoy torturing them. Also A Lot Like Love, a movie that Kelli wanted to see. I TiVoed and and made her a DVD to take home. Then we started watching Wallace and Grommit, but Holli got tired so we saved that for tomorrow. Kelli and I were compelled to watch favorite South Parks: Underpants Gnomes and Sexual Harrassment Panda.
