Happy St. Patricks Day

My favorite IRiSh Prayer...

May those that love us, love us. ANd if they don't, may God turn their hearts. ANd if He cannot turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, that we may know them by their limpin'.

Any thoughts?

My love affair... with evaporated milk!

I've become obsessed with evaporated milk lately...

When I make tomato soup (condensed) from a can, I now use evaporated milk to mix with it rather than regular milk (or water!), and it is sooo much richer and creamier. You'll never go back.

This morning I made a glaze for our cinnamon rolls, and instead of using regular milk, I again used evaporated milk. It made a huge difference! It is sooo sweet.

Lastly, I've been substituting the evap. milk for cream; so now I pour evaporated milk over my applesauce and it is a yummy healthy dessert.

Gotta try it... I swear by it now!

Sadly, this I agree with the author-- this is a problem throughout our culture. I was glad to be made aware of it. A must-read for parents.

Valentine's Day 2011

"Give all to love; obey thy heart."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


On Saturday, the Mister made reservations for us at The Sandpiper. We went with our good friends, the Greenhalgh's. We enjoyed appetizers, ribeye steak, lobster tail, halibut and chocolate cheesecake.

On Sunday, we invited our good friends, the Leech's; we grilled more steak (watch out, PETA), had more shrimp, artichoke appetizers, salad, homemade rolls and chocolate lava cake.

Today, the Mister made me one of his homemade, endearing cards:) I gave him chocolates; we gave the kids chocolates & new sweats. Tonight we shall eat waffles with strawberries & whipped cream.

One of my favorite quotes for the Love Fest:

"The human heart is remarkable in that it is designed to pump continuously for a hundred and twenty years without ever needing to be reminded what it was meant to do. It just does it. If anything in this universe reflects the fingerprint of God, it is the human heart."
~ Charles Martin
