In contrary fashion to where we live, which is right in town, with […]

St. Patrick’s Day Finds

March 17th, 2008 · No Comments

I had a doctor’s appointment this morning and am now on an antibiotic for tonsillitis.  I probably had the flu or a flu-like syndrome as well.  So there you go.  It’s going around.  I dutifully wore […]

1 stick of butter
1/4 cup of cocoa
1 pinch of salt
1/2 cup of milk
