The Stew is made and
ready to be reheated in the crock pot
for Sunday Dinner....
Key lime pie #2 is cooling
on the back deck - because
it's cold out there!!!
I'm trying to think "GREEN" even though
it's white and getting whiter outside - sigh!
A batch of No-Knead bread
is rising on the cupboard
in hopes of a crusty
loaf to go with the stew!
All 'tis well .........

ReplyDeleteSpring was springing! Ha! Made me laugh out loud. It's coming this way for Tuesday and Wednesday. Mercy it is cold out there...we've been right back into January temps for a week with another week or more to go.
ReplyDeleteLooks as if it'll feel like spring on the inside. Your blog looks springy and the new header with all the green depression glass is a delight!
Happy St. Patty's Day, Rosella! I'd love a big slice of your Key lime pie!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got right into the theme of things at your blog spot.
ReplyDeleteNo Irish blood in this gal...but it sure looks wonderful.
Happy St.Patrick's day to you a day late. Italy is quite void of celebrating St. Pat's day. If this makes you feel any better it snowed in Milan this morning! :)
ReplyDeleteWe hope it all clears up by tomorrow.
Are you trying to tempt me with that pie? Because you are!
