Although I Didn't Take Photos, I Found Others Who Have - Worlds Worst Shephard's Pie (Guaranteed to Feed Six)(Um...If You Like Shot-Glass Meals)

It's always fascinating when you work all day on Saturday and Sunday and non-educators ask, "are you really grading all this time?" Well, yes...and planning...and answering emails, and organizing grants. It really never ends, except when I take breaks to feed others, which I tried to do last night with a Shephard's Pie. It was a bake and go-at-it meal, but when I took it out of the oven, and began to put onto plates, I realized three of us would only get a couple of bites. It tasted alright but the fact it was a dinner for six is bull. Thankful that Doreen brought cookies for the folks so I could feed them those. Patheic.

I also gave both parents a heart attack when I screamed at the end of the UCONN/Duke game with the last minute shot and comeback. Even Karal jumped a few feed. "How are you even watching the game when your eyes never leave the screen or your fingers never quit typing?"

Um, I was watching out of the side of my eye. Amazing how strategic academics/educators become when they want to have some semblance of a weekend life.

If you type in pathetic Shepard's Pie dinners, there are photos to choose from....this one offering the most resemblance. 

Tonight begins class one with another to follow tomorrow. I'm trying to grade their work for this week so I'm ready for class tomorrow. We need to keep the semester flowing along. I'm actually looking forward to class because I'm super proud of what the students accomplished this week. They're listening and growing. Of course, I have to turn it around for Tuesday night, too.

By Wednesday, I should have more mental free time, I hope. Oi Vay. Monday and Tuesday classes mean yucky Saturdays and Sundays.
