Retreats

Earthdancer progress picture. It was nice to finally stitch some color in.
Eclairs
Eclairs: same recipe as last weeks, but use heaping spoonful of Choux when placing them on the baking sheet and shape them in a rectangle, 3" apart, cook for 40 min. instead of 50 min. Then just add the Chocolate Glaze.
Chocolate Glaze: 2 squares semisweet chocolate, 2 TBS butter, 1 C powder sugar & 3 TBS milk.
In 1-qt saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate & butter, stirring constantly. Stir in powder sugar & milk until smooth. Spread on tops of Eclairs. Cover & chill.
Meari, sent a link in to ILCS group "What song was #1 on the day you were born?"
My birthday was "Everybody Loves Somebody" by Mean Martin,
Dara's birthday "Cream" by Prince
Dylan's birthday "Again" by Janet Jackson
Kayden's birthday "Take a Bow" by Rihanna
Bob's birthday "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles.
Bob's was the only song that I could sing. I heard Mean Martin's but I couldn't sing it all. LOL! I wonder what the #1 country song was the day I was born. Anyone know where I can find out?
Other things going on this week... the temps reached up into the 60's and I went outside. LOL! Took Kayden out too. And Josh (Dylan's friend) said "Mom you left the house!?!" When I picked them up from the park.
Kayden is making the motor boat noise with his lips.
Two cross stitching retreats are coming up. Hoosier Stitches the first weekend in April in Southern Indiana and ILCS Retreat this June in TN. I am so looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new faces.
