When we were moving from California to Kansas, I bought an iPad for the trip.  It came in really handy when we had no consistent Internet access for weeks at a time.  I figured that when we got settled I would see if I still liked it, and if not, I would sell it.  Turns out, I really love my iPad.  I use it to read books, stay in touch, answer emails, pin to my hearts content, watch TV, and waste time.  One of my favorite things on my iPad is reading Martha Stewart Living Magazine.  On the … [Read more...]

hot cross bun recipe

Apparently, they have been a hot topic throughout history.  During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, they tried to ban these buns because they were too closely related to Catholicism during the Reformation.  They were wildly popular in England during this time, so Queen Elizabeth I allowed them only to be made at Easter and Christmas.  She knew not to … [Read more...]
