http://www.laurieelaine.com/2014/02/spring-break-2k14.html
Thursday, February 27, 2014. But in a month, I won't have to wish myself there. I will be on St. John and it will be 85-88 degrees and I'll be snorkeling or laying on a white beach or drinking a painkiller or maybe all of the above. I have never in my life needed 8 days of unadulterated warmth this badly. So, am I ridiculously excited that today is one day closer to my Spring Break Getaway? Laurie Elaine, Ph.D. Ahcount them down.it will be sunny days ahead! February 28, 2014 at 3:08 PM. Charmed, i'm sure.

Croissant Craic: January 2011
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Living the Good Life! So why is he in Florida with my parents instead of here helping me pack you may ask? Well, the quarantine laws in Ireland are quite strict for anyone outside of the EU. They require a 6 month stay in a designated quarantine facility at the owners expense. Check out the list of other requirements here: Ireland department of agriculture. It would take one giant xanax to keep. And now the most exciting part of this blog post. A parker picture montage! The day we brought him home. All d...

Croissant Craic: Warm and Wooly
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011/12/warm-and-wooly.html
Spending Sunday afternoon recovering from a long night celebrating the opening of Hedgehog Fibres'. Adam and I rolled in around 4 am! Hedgehog Fibres, run by my friend Beata, specializes in hand-dyed yarns and fibers for spinning. Celebrating my friend's success was exciting enough for me, but maybe even more so was being asked to assist with the event planning! I cannot wait to share pictures of the party with you, hopefully sometime this week. December 4, 2011 at 8:33 PM. Love the sheep painting! Copy ...

Croissant Craic: The Best of our Year in Ireland
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011/12/best-of-our-year-in-ireland.html
The Best of our Year in Ireland. For the last few weeks Adam and I have been spontaneously shouting out things like "We get to shop at Costco again! We get to see Parker! And "We will have a garbage disposal again! Silly I know, but it is the little things that have us excited about our return to the US. The Cork City English Market. McVities Digestive Biscuits (I prefer the dark chocolate ones! Extensive selection of Haribo candies. Being able to walk into town everyday. I love Salt and Vinegar! Picking...

Croissant Craic: October 2011
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Once again forever helpful Evin pointed me in the right direction. However, I was on my third grocery store at this point searching in vain for applesauce and growing more and more frustrated; and a trip backtracking across town to the organic food market was not going to happen. So I grabbed four apples at the last grocery store and headed home. When life hands you. So I channeled my frustration into peeling and coring apples, and this is what I came up with! 1/4 cup white sugar. Peel and core apples.

Croissant Craic: All Good Things Must End
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011/12/all-good-things-must-end.html
All Good Things Must End. This time last year I was in our home in Raleigh, North Carolina starting to plan out our big move across the pond! They say all things are cyclical, and so it makes sense that a year later I am going through the exact same thing but heading back the other direction! Yes you heard me correctly, we are moving back to the USA! I always knew we would go back someday, I just did not expect it to be this soon. However, like they say all good things must come to an end. A cup of Mai.

Picking up where I left off in Beercation Part I. After another night of recovering from a long day of drinking we were up and at it again! This time we didn't lie in as they say here in Ireland. We got up, dressed and out the door by 10 am in order to make it to Cantillon Brewery. If you did not remember then you need to go back and read it again! You never know when there might be a pop quiz! And so on. We are talking months and years for these brews. To be ready rather than days or weeks. Adam poses w...

Croissant Craic: November 2011
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Better Late Than Never! I mentioned the other day about my let down in not being able to host and prepare a Thanksgiving dinner last week. So in order to feed my hubby the turkey and stuffing he missed out on and feed my need to be all domestic we decided to have what I have been calling "Better Late than Never Thanksgiving! I was hoping to document the preparation of the meal making, but once I got humming along chopping, sauteing, and mashing, I completely forgot. I only managed to snap one picture!

Croissant Craic: June 2011

Giving the Butter a Night Off. If you knew the amount of candy and beer my husband consumes on a weekly basis you might be surprised to know that he does not weigh 28 stone, or 400 lbs, depending which continent you are on! He may not be a strict health nut, but he does work hard to stay fit and sometimes my cooking makes that difficult for him. He was taking the piss out of me. Irish phrase) last week after I used the crummy weather here in Ireland as. An excuse to cook comfort food, as seen in this post.

Croissant Craic: April 2011
http://croissantcraic.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Banishing the Bathroom Blues! Sorry I've been kind of slack this week. I've been working on several projects simultaneously around here. I'm working on a puppy portrait. Did you know I paint dog portraits? You can check out some of my work on my other website croissantdesigns.com. Nothing wrong with a little self promotion right? I'm also preparing to host the first party at Casa Croissant, and the use of the word casa is no accident! Now the bathroom is looking a little something like this. Another part...
