Folly Beach: A Lowcountry Tale [Book]
Currently reading this and so far so good.


I just finished reading Pride & Prejudice for the 2nd (maybe 3rd time?)  I got a new phone at Christmas and it had the kindle app on it, with Pride & Prejudice already downloaded on there, so I just had to read it. ;)  I love the books so much better than the movies....


Funny, that I got the Kindle for Christmas and haven't read one thing on that- just played Angry Birds, that darn game is so addicting.  


I made a couple of things, but I don't like the way they turned out so, on to Plan B before I share (or not).


Must try - cheesy quinoa, yes please!

Recipe and picture found at Around the Table.  One of my Pinterest finds.  I am going to try out this recipe this weekend.  I have been reading so much about Quinoa...
