Also, did not eat anything traditional. When I was a kid we always ate corned beef and cabbage. I never could stand it! But maybe I'll have to try it again, Ruthy, since you said you felt the same as a kid. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-35563901605868472912012-03-18T08:20:19.827-04:002012-03-18T08:20:19.827-04:00Susanna, yes!!!

Sadie's doing great, thank you for sending your good wishes and Corned Beef means it's brined to soak up the seasoning and develop the more stringy texture that goes along with it. <br /><br />I hated it as a kid.<br /><br />Love it now.

Not so much for baseball.<br /><br />HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry. Couldn't resist being MEAN. Blame it on Sadie and lack of sleep. I like chicken, too, but chicken's an 'any old day' meal.... BUT...

We always get that dispensation except I always wonder if they're really just joking.<br /><br />I was at a teacher's conference all day plus it is Ted's birthday so no corned beef. He chose chicken. Apparently the NY corned beef doesn't quite measure up to what his mother used to make back in Boston. (Ssssh. I think it's just his faulty memory.)Mary Curryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04173540875518117671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-59987855632179606232012-03-17T17:53:33.906-04:002012-03-17T17:53:33.906-04:00puppies?! quilting?! :-)

I thought I'd found a nice patio home with a decent yard then saw the price - yikes! they took away the most of the yard and increased teh price - either I stay where I am or I look for key words like 'shack' and 'cottage' instead of 'italian villa' and 'mediterranean'!<br /><br />hope Sadie does ok with the puppies...<br /><br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-62509956951601042512012-03-17T13:12:04.733-04:002012-03-17T13:12:04.733-04:00Checking in from SEWING CENTRAL....

And the Golden Retriever "Sadie" looks like she might be in early labor... And the sun came out. And God is good! :) I did get nearly 1000 words done on my synopsis for book one of a prospective series, so that's good too!<br /><br />Kav, you must do cream pie. It's best eaten fresh because the crust will get soggy after a couple of days, so you must take it to friends and enjoy together!!! And note the Andrea comment... whipped cream works great instead of meringue if you'd prefer!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-60398579444381279812012-03-17T12:06:14.208-04:002012-03-17T12:06:14.208-04:00You don't like soda bread?!

It's pretty darn hardy, I'll admit but oh la la with butter and jam for breakfast to go along with oatmeal. Or just butter to go along with some nice hearty soup like the corn chowder I'm going to be making.<br /><br />And thanks for the cream pie recipe. Would you believe it? I've never had a cream pie either! My y'all are expanding my culinary horizons!<br /><br />Happy writing, Ruthy!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-43101976673953440462012-03-17T08:37:42.443-04:002012-03-17T08:37:42.443-04:00Ruthy, thanks for the corned beef recipe!

The local Catholic bishop (who is not a very popular person in a lot of circles, but I love my Catholic parish, my pastor, my friends, just a wonderful experience all around...) DID NOT give Catholics permission to eat meat and it was Lent....<br /><br />The surrounding bishops all did. I'm surprised we didn't have an Irish Catholic version of an uprising, but we're cool cats.... we just ate what we wanted and let God sort it out! ;)Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-14564799098070288432012-03-17T06:08:47.391-04:002012-03-17T06:08:47.391-04:00What a fun day this is! :)
