Dressing Room
Since I no longer use flickr, I’ll just post these here: Crappy photos from my dressing room adventures.
Didn’t get the dress. I really like it but I’m trying to buy longer ones.
Got the shirt, didn’t get the skirt. I might go back for that skirt…
Got the sweater.
Got the skirt.

Christmas Treasures
This Christmas I got all the books I really wanted thanks to my nice siblings.
Can you see a theme?
I’m writing a historical novel set in the Regency period so I need to do a lot of research.
Historical romance, when well written, is a guilty pleasure of mine. I’ve been wanting to write one for a long time but only now I feel the courage to do it. Well… When I say ‘now’ I mean in the last six months or so. These books are going to help me fix some gaps in my knowledge and, hopefully, help me write an plausible story. The fact that the tale is about a gentleman and his two wives it’s another story!
Sports Go Sports!
Totally!
Brief note about the finale of Breaking Bad
Last year I talked about how much I liked Breaking Bad. Since the beginning of the show five years ago, there was never a disappointing moment. Now it’s over and I just wanted to say: Well done!
This is one of the BEST SHOWS ever made for television. A cohesive piece of work with a beginning and an end that takes us through a myriad of situations and emotions that are matched by no one in the industry at this time.
Thank you for so many hours of nerve racking, nail biting, belly aching quality entertainment.
Basic Muffins
So I did these muffins and they are great. Then I did them again and altered them a bit and they got better. The first batch was very good but a little under-sweet.
The process is exactly the same. The only difference is on the ingredients. These are my changes:
– Instead of ½ cup granulated sugar I used 1 cup—so I doubled the amount of sugar;
РAlso, instead of 1 cup whole milk I used half a cup cr̬me frąche and half a cup whole milk.
I love this recipe because it’s super simple and quick to make. Very convenient if you need something sweet and filled with bad carbs.
