Luck O' The Irish to Ya!

Image a beautiful day. The sun is shinning, the kids are home for spring break, the house is clean, everyone is happy and we are all in the kitchen helping make our spectacular Irish feast!


First we load the crock-pot with our corn beef, cabbage, carrots, onions, and of course potatoes. Then we whip up the batter for the pop overs. Next comes the Rainbow cake preparation. With everyone gathered around the island we put together the ingredients for a white cake ( you know the box kind). We separated the batter into 6  bowls to make 6 colors. Everyone got to ad a color to their bowl and mix it in. It then went into a greased and floured bunt pan, layering the colors. When it came out it was gorgeous and we topped with a chocolate frosting drizzle.

While the corn beef finished, we cooked the popovers, gave hair cuts (which I did on my own for the first time. They turned out well...for my first time) and cleaned up our mess. Everyone helped and didn't even complain.

Because we had made so much food we invited some friends over to share it with us. 
Now picture us all at the table enjoying our efforts and each others company with the feast lain out before us.

You have that mental picture? 

Good because that is the only pictures I have seen I mistakenly formatted the memory card. We definitely had had the Luck of the Irish with us that day...but not so much when I uploaded the pictures...Let's blame the leprechauns!
