Alexia’s early birthday gift, Huntress!

It is now May 19th, which means that my next post will be all about Comicpalooza with Holly, Ryan, and Carmen! They’ll be getting to my house on Wednesday night, and the fun will stretch over into Monday. I’m looking far beyond forward to having close to a week with them, and the fact that we’ll be at Comicpalooza having fun and selling great jewelry makes it even more exciting!
On top of that, the post after next will be telling you all about Alexia’s super birthday party. I cannot believe my baby girl is about to turn two years old, but I am so looking forward to this party! I and my best friend, Tabitha, have put quite a bit of effort into everything already–seeing it come together will be very exciting. Hopefully she loves it, and loves every present that is given to her!

Ygritte’s Leek and Potato Soup

17 May

wildling soupOne of my favorite characters in Game of Thrones is Ygritte, the wildling kissed by fire.  Fire isn’t the only thing she’s being kissed by, but that’s a story for another day.  Today, Melvin and I are making a dish in homage to the Free Folk, something that would warm them up on their trek through the north.  But what exactly does a wildling have to eat?  We thought a nice and simple leek and potato soup would be something that you could find cooking in a pot in a wildling camp.  So if you want to reach down to your true northern roots and eat something to celebrate the Free Folk, read on!
