st. patrick’s day

It was a pretty nice St. Patrick’s Day, overall. We went to Mom & Dad’s for corned beef & cabbage for dinner (mmMMMmmm!), and Mom tried out an orange meringue pie recipe instead of lemon meringue. It was pretty good, although not as WOW in flavor as lemon meringue is, so she’s going to try some different stuff with the recipe next time.

After that the whole day is shot to hell. So I got up at 7 today and was at the computer by 8, and got 1700 words written on FD by 10 when…

decadant life

I live a decadant life. I’ve just made a loaf of brown oatmeal soda bread which smells stunningly good, and as soon as it’s cooled off a bit I’m going to have a nice big chunk of it with a bowl of homemade ham and bean soup. The only thing that could possibly improve on this meal would be a glass of whole milk, but I’ve only got 2%, so that’ll just have to do. Perhaps to make up for the 2% I’ll have some homemade peach jam on my…
