We had a terrific Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and it's just been splendid all around. As I said, we did get a new computer and it's finally up and running.

Yesterday I made dark chocolate Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's cream cheese frosting. A different take on the cake I've made over the years. Who doesn't like a cupcake?
The American version of an Irish meal is in the crockpot: corned beef, red potatoes and carrots with a dash of Guinness. The cabbage will be added later.
I've got Soda Biscuits baking right now; with caraway seeds and currants.
His Lordship's pal W is coming over to help us eat all this food. The leftover cupcakes will be eaten tomorrow by The Princelings. (They don't care for corned beef and cabbage).
We eat pretty good here.

So much going on today! It's Wednesday which means it's Hump Day (Mike!). It's 3.14 which means it's....wait for it....Pi Day!
Serendipitously, I'm making onion pie for dinner! Maybe I'll make bitty individual berry pies for dessert. I do like a good pie on pi day.
And, it's Whatcha Reading Day!
13. The Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis by Elizabeth Letts
A little too much “war” history for me in this one. I ‘m glad I read it, but will cop to skimming parts that didn’t pertain directly to the horses.
14. Raspberry Danish Murder by Joanne Fluke
Another Hannah Swenson mystery that I’d forgotten I had on my hold’s list. A fluffy read I finished in less than a day.
15. Kindness Goes Unpunished by Craig Johnson
The second of the Longmire books. They are so completely different from the TV series and I’m quite enjoying them. I really like the dry humor of the main character. It doesn’t come across in the TV series.
16. Another Man's Moccasins by Craig Johnson
The third Longmire book. This one went back and forth in time as Longmire is a Vietnam Vet (as is his buddy Henry). Since I just recently watched the Ken Burns series about Vietnam, this was quite interesting. I hope all this series continues to be as entertaining as the first 3 books.
It is supposed to rain, possibly snow today but it's clear right now. I think I'll go for a walk!
Carry on my nerdy pals!

I've been searching the interwebz and finally found where I can watch GBBO on the computer. I'm totally unspoiled as to the season 8 winner, so please....don't tell me. I watched the first episode tonight and was quite pleasantly surprised at liking the new hosts/judge. I really like this show and look forward to watching more tomorrow.
I've been working on my crocheting for the craft show, using up yarn. I've decided to start things at $10 and then after an hour drop everything to $5.00. I really want to move this stuff. (and hopefully I haven't said this all before! *iz old*)
I made a most delicious dinner of thick cut boneless porkchops, roasted Brussels sprouts with sriracha mayo and home made biscuits. I'm a very full, very happy girl.
Ta!
