Bit-O-Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

It may only be a name, but I feel a little Irish. My husband is the one who can really take credit for the Irish blood (being the heir to the throne of the isle of man). In celebration of this lucky day, we are having a little soiree. I'm attempting a new recipe, homemade corned beef, cabbage, and veggies. A traditionally appropriate menu, or so I thought until C informed me that an Irishman on NPR said he had never heard of corned beef and cabbage until he came to the states. Well, the meat has been brining for 8 days, we are eating it Irish or not. Hope your day is full of green, leprechauns, and maybe even a pot-o-gold.

Nothing to Post

I truly have nothing to post, just felt like I needed to update. Very little has been happening around here. Had a week off from responsibilities, which is always nice. Had book group, throughly enjoyed the Count of Monte Cristo. It was an interesting discussion finding out the differences between the abridged and unabridged versions. I can only take credit for reading the abridged version. I read the next months book, The Goose Girl, in a day. It was a fun read, now I am looking for something else to read. Finally got a library card, don't think I have had one since middle school. Hoping to start saving money by not buying books. And....well not much else. Boring I know. I'm hoping for something more exciting soon, whatever that may be. As for now thats my life.
