Rain and possibly a thunderstorm predicted for this afternoon in our area. For sure, that's a sign of spring. Temperature 37 degrees and sunshine right now.
Got up early, cuz the little fuzz bucket was ready to go outside. Coffee's brewed, and another day is ready to blossom.
Played hooker again yesterday. Valance is slowly growing in length. Sometimes I think maybe the thread is too heavy, and other times it's gonna be okay. Either way, it is what it is. Why is a person always questioning oneself?
Made a trial run of Guinness Irish Stew and Irish soda muffins for our St. Patty's Party on the 17th. Both got a thumbs up and think we're ready to roll. The soda bread muffin recipe made a dozen. Put the leftovers in a zip-lock baggie. This morning they feel like hockey pucks. Maybe the trick is baking them the day of the party so our guests won't suffer dental damage.
We're going to serve the stew over Irish Colcannon, which is mashed potatoes with cooked cabbage mixed in. Will put parsnips in the stew instead of potatoes. For dessert, am planning to make a white poke cake, with lime jello topped with vanilla pudding and cool whip mixed together. Our six-some always has some kind of appetizers with our drinks before dinner, and I'm still pondering that part of the meal. Absolutely love entertaining, always have, always will.
