I woke up this morning to discover that the UCF has been outed. I expect the phone to start ringing off the hook any minute; perhaps I can get Valerie Plame to give me some advice on dealing with all the press now that my life of secrecy is over.
So what is this secret organization [...]
As of the writing of this post, I’ve read 129 books in 2008. Not my highest total, but not too bad, all things considered.
Here are some of the books I read this year that I really enjoyed. With one exception, I listed only the first book in a series, if I started and enjoyed a [...]
Erin posted an adorable picture of Lana.
Quick go look!
Cute cute cute!
So as I mentioned last week, I was on a baking binge before Christmas. I love to bake, and Christmas is a good excuse for me to go hog wild.
For this weeks Tasty Tuesday, here are my two favorite cookies from this year, Cranberry Caramel Bars and Cranberry Oatmeal cookies.

Just finished reading the C.S. Harris mystery Where Serpents Sleep.
Excellent.
I love really her Sebastian St. Cyr series and highly recommend it to anyone who likes Vistorian mysteries–or mysteries in general.
…is to read as many books as possible. I’ve got up two reviews from books I just finished, both of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I got a stack of new books for Christmas, so my problem right now is going to be deciding what I want to read next. I’m thinking C.S. Harris‘ latest Sebastian St. [...]
Here are some gifts left in previous years by the Christmas Elephant:

Neither of their touchdowns was pretty. We’ve got to play better than this!
Have a cat nap for Boxing Day!
Michael got what every good geek should have wanted this year: A Monty Python Cow Catapult!
In the spirit of the season, here is my favorite carol:
Adeste Fideles laeti triumphantes,
Veníte, veníte in Bethlehem.
Natum vidéte, Regem Angelorum:
Veníte adoremus,
Veníte adoremus
Veníte adoremus Dóminum
Deum de Deo, lumen de lúmine,
gestant puellae viscera

I just realized that when I pulled out the cookie cutters–the ELEPHANT cookie cutter was MISSING!
I have NO elephant Christmas cookies!
:(
How will the Christmas elephant ever forgive me?
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.
And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I [...]
Somehow the holidays always surprise me with how quickly they arrive. Luckily, the only thing I have to do before Christmas is bake.
And bake I have. Here’s what I’ve made so far:
Peanut Butter Blossoms
Lemon Shortbread Coins, from The Essential Baker by Carole Bloom
Spiced Sugar Coins, from The Essential Baker by Carole Bloom
Hazelnut-Chocolate Chip Cookies, from [...]
I hate Monday.

I’m pretty sure it is going to require chocolate cookies to repair this batch of Monday damage.
And it’s time to start baking!
