Saint Patrick's Day by Rob:
So I'm sure all of you have been wondering, "What did Rob and Rachel do for Saint Patrick's Day?!" And since you're dying to know, we'll tell you.
Firstly, I have this awesome outfit that I wear on St. Patty's day that has an Ireland t-shirt and an Irish hat. That doesn't quite make me Irish, but I feel like it. Secondly, Rachel and I decided that we would not make corned beef and cabbage, because I don't like it. So we made special hamburgers instead. As you can see, a little creativity and grilling expertise produced some "Saint Patties". Get it? Hamburger patties shaped like crosses. Cheesy joke, deliciously cheesy. It was a stretch for Saint Patrick's Day, but I definitely wasn't going to eat the corned beef.For dessert, Rachel made us Jello, and you can't go wrong with Jello.Pi Day by Rachel:
Another special day we celebrated was Pi Day: March 14th. Get it? 3.14. . . Pi. Some of our friends threw a Pi(e) Party, where we all made delicious pies and ate them! We decided to make a strawberry chiffon pie with a chocolate cookie crust. (I should have taken a picture before the cool whip topping... oh well). The recipe was kind of complicated and called for lots of weird things, but it turned out really good! And now we know what "chiffon" is. Rob thought it tasted like strawberry lemonade.
Other big hits at the Pi(e) party: A pizza pie, pot pie, tons of sweet pies, a pie with the numbers of Pi circling until it reached the middle, and a giant pumpkin pie in the shape of the Greek letter Pi! Needless to say, we were in Pie Heaven. And our stomachs have not been well since.



In other news, I still love my new job. It's so laid back and I am loving the flexibility. The kids are perfect angels too (so far) and the work hours go by really quickly. And I love having free mornings to work out and relax, and having weekends off to do things like make bread (or pie) and clean.

Rob is getting close to the end of his semester. He has been spending a lot of time reading in his free time and is progressing in his current series. And mostly, he loves being married to me!

Maybe someday we will have exciting blogs and pictures that don't involve food. . . but apparently food is the only thing we take pictures of!
