Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It's a busy day here.  March Break continues, so there are lots of children's activities.  Things to make, places to go, things to see....and none of us dressed in green.  Well, except for some shamrock headbands the girls wore at breakfast.

I like to make something a little bit special on St. Patrick's Day.  Last year I tried a new brisket recipe and was delighted with the results.  This year the girls have asked for Spinach Linguine for supper.  With a white sauce. 

No school means today's lunch was served hot.  And on plates!  

No, it's not corned beef and cabbage.  I honestly can't remember ever eating that combination growing up.  


Here we have a baked potato (cooked in the microwave),  topped with yogurt and cheddar, sliced roast pork with just a little BBQ sauce, peas, sliced baby carrots with ranch dip (neither of which was hot, actually) and a blackberry. The blackberry doesn't symbolize anything, but the plate was calling out for another colour.

(More fruit was consumed separately at snack time.  And there may have been cookies in the afternoon.  And possibly cocoa.)
