  { Cooking Pasta! }
  Tonight Joseph made his fresh pasta with the special “00″ flour that Jamie Oliver suggests using for handmade pasta. Joseph does all the hard work - I’m not going to lie about that, but I love turning the handle to catch the little strings!
  We first made pasta at Jaren and Patricks house. [...]

  Fall weather makes me happy! Today we danced at Summerset Festival. It was gloomy and cold, but it was a perfect day. After the show I drove over to Joseph’s soccer game, picking up lunch from Panera (their Orchard Harvest Salad is the best)! I just barely made [...]

  In Irish dancing a Feis is a competition. There are several different categories you can dance in according to your age, level, and type of dance e.g. soft shoe, hard shoe, reel, jig, hornpipe, etc. Since I am old now, ha, I dance as an adult. There are rules [...]

  I found some nice Irish dance dresses by Listowel Celtic Art. Mine is still simple compared to these, but if I could spend thousands of dollars on a dress, I think I’d pick a traditional one like these.
  This is my old dress from McGing. I can’t say I like it, but at the time a [...]

  { Dress Design, draft one }
  This is a design for my Irish dance solo dress.
  It is composed of matte gold, a sheen ivory called Oyster, and a dark Paynes grey. I suppose you could say the colors are inspired by part J.Crew {who else?} and part oyster shell. You only need to add a Guinness [...]

  Tartan and plaid at every turn! The Scottish Festival and Highland Games of Highlands Ranch took place this weekend with plenty of bagpipes and highland flings to make even the most non-Scott feel like they have a clan to belong to.
  Joseph almost adopted a Corgi {or a Westie} while I [...]

  Thanks for all the fantastic emails! It was so good to hear from all of you!
  Last night, right after writing an email about how dry it has been in Denver, it began to pour down. These gigantic wet things came falling from the sky for hours and hours. It rained late into [...]
