Kiss Me I'm Irish


Yesterday, we celebrated our St. Patty's Day low key. We had plans to go to the horse races, but it was cold and rainy so we decided against that idea. We slept in, or should I say laid in bed talking and surfing the The World Wide Web for house ideas. Kev finally got up and made green pancakes.
I worked on some lesson plans (Mapped out the rest of the year! Only 10 more weeks.) while he switched out our beds. My terrible 11 year old bed is now at his house and his wonderful hardly ever been slept on bed is here!

We watched a very cute movie, Here Comes the Boom and I cooked an Irish dinner. 
I came across a recipe for Dublin Coddle while searching for Irish recipes. It requires very minimal ingredients; onion, potato, irish sausage, bacon, pepper, and parsley.

I couldn't find Irish sausage so I used these.
You layer everything making sure to season each layer with pepper and parsley. Pour bullion flavored boiling water over it and bake it at 300 for several hours.
I even cooked it in my new green casserole dish.
It turned out very flavorful and was yummy. Will definitely make this again. 

Next year we will be in Ireland celebrating  St. Patrick's Day!!!!! 



And of course Kev made drinks.

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
