    Your shelves look really good above the computer desk. It really cleans up the space nicely.

    Great job.

    I love the etched look. A nice glass container would definitely look very elegant any time of year.

    Love your choice of curtains. Things are coming together very well. It will make a big difference downstairs, especially when you get the curtains up in the dining area.

    Well done

    Thank you! When you’re over on Sunday, you can help me figure out what to do with that last window.

    I’ve been working in the kitchen (making dessert for Sunday’s dinner) and the light is fantastic!

    I am going to have to try this one. It looks yummy and I am a big big fan of rice pudding.

    An ex-boyfriend’s mother had a divine rice pudding recipe. It was very light tasting; perfect for summer but I never got the recipe from her. It is sad.

    I have heard lately about people using to much sodium. I will try this recipe for myself, although we use very little salt in the first place. Every little bit helps.

    The meal was delicious. The duck was very tasty. I thought you had put on different spices for taste and found out it was only a little salt and pepper. Just the right amount of food, as in the past I have made a mountain of food at this time of year it was almost ridiculous.

    Thank you!

    I think about 5 people read my journal but I do what I can :)

    I am very happy with the studio but another big project has come up so it will be a few weeks before I can enjoy any time in it. Stay tuned…

    Finally had a chance to use this on my own and it was lovely. So much better than the pre-packaged stuff. I have to remember to send the recipe to my mom.

    Very interesting outcome between the dyes and the ink. I like the dyes better, probably because there is more color involved.

    It’s good to hear from you again though I completely understand how life can throw curveballs into blogging and on-line time.

    I hope you do get a chance to take on your lunchtime tourist project. It sounds really interesting and I look forward to hearing about what you find. If you remember to bring your camera along, I will also look forward to seeing what you find. :D
