Radio Silence

I thought I’d title a post with something other than, “Just a little bit of…” I realized I did that about 3.76 minutes after I posted the ice cream cupcake recipe, but it was too late to change things as I had already submitted my cupcake to the contest. Oh well. I’m currently in the [...]

Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig!

Supposedly that means Happy St. Patrick’s Day. =) Lovely day for a Guinness! The 9,000 year lease that Arthur Guinness signed, for like 40 lbs a year. A history of Guinness bottles. That’s a lot of Guinness. Sláinte!

Why do girls wear short skirts?

I don’t necessarily have an answer for this but I’m curious to know what you think.  And I’m not talking about a skirt that’s simply above the knees, I’m talking about skirts that make sitting down a modern miracle. So, why do you think girls wear short skirts? I guess I should be more correct; [...]

I’m back!

I came from the sunny midwest skies lazily watching over Wisconsin to rusty orange leaves cluttering the ground around Holladay Park.  It seems fall is starting to join us here in Portland, though I think we still have some sunny skies ahead of us yet.
