Corned Beets and Cabbage

March 17, 2020 by Chad de Bree

“May the roof above you never fall in and those gathered beneath it never fall out.” ~Irish Proverb

Though things have been a little tight here in terms of staffing, we still try our best to bring some excitement to the chimpanzees’ lives. With today being St. Patrick’s Day, we decided to throw them a little party. On today’s menu: “corned beets” and cabbage. We roasted some beets and boiled some cabbage and potatoes.

After we cleaned the Greenhouse, we set up the party for the Seven. Burrito was really into the cabbage and potatoes and went around picking up any the others may have dropped.

Missy on the other hand grabbed a plate for her own to enjoy at her leisure.

And she made sure not to spill any of her plate even while climbing up the structures. (Now that’s talent!)

Like Burrito, Negra had her own preferences. She really was enthusiastic for the beets and potatoes. She fit as many as she could in her mouth before returning to the Playroom.

While Jody seemed to really enjoy the cabbage Negra left behind.

At first Mave was really unsure of the beets. But after she gave them a try, they became her prized item for today.

When the parties began to wind down, everybody thought it was a good time for a nap.

Even Foxie and her doll.

So from us to you and your loved ones, have a safe and joyous St. Patrick’s Day!

    Oh, a chimp party!
    We’ve been missing those!
    Maybe Mave had never had them roasted before, I think I remember they had some shortly after arriving…the talented Missy is sorry tomatoes aren’t from Ireland (neither are potatoes, but we won’t tell her that!)
    Hang in there for another week or so, folks! There’s a pint for ye at t’end of the tunnel!

    Happy St. Paddy’s Day to everyone! The corned beets and cabbage was a brilliant idea and looks so yummy. You guys always think of everything, shamrock party plates to brighten the day. That second photo of Mave is fantastic, oh what a marvelous face. : )

    Every St. Patricks Day I’m reminded of a small child in my life who was born in China and adopted by a family on the other side of the planet, proudly wearing a button that said “Thank God I’m Irish.” Everyone is honorary Irish on St Patricks Day, and we, the Irish diaspora, are proud to include every being who has been flung far from their homeland and yet survived, including these chimps.

    “May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

    amazing how missy could climb balancing all that food on a paper plate and not loosing any of it. Intelligence doesn’t even cover it. Thank you dear staff,( so overworked) for continuing such wonderful care to the chimps and cows.
