Wishing you a wonderful holiday, too!!<br /><br />Pamela~Yeah, JASNA's a very nice group... I was thrilled when I discovered that they existed.

Adorable.<br /><br />New Years day family tradition is steak and kidney pie and trifle made with real custard (which I think requires a dozen or so eggs, not sure, my auntie Marg makes it) and real whipped cream. Not hard to tell where my ancestors hail from...or how I 'earned' the extra pounds. lollainey bancrofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05198092987859920805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-55079471906385223022009-12-19T19:09:06.526-06:002009-12-19T19:09:06.526-06:00Boy, am I hungry now. :)

The luncheon I went to was for the JASNA members who live in or near Wisconsin. But, FWIW, I'm also part of an online Yahoo loop called the Janeites--and anyone interested can join that, whether they're a part of JASNA or not. There are nearly 1,000 members now. (Here's the link if you're curious: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Janeites/) <br /><br />Amethyst~Fingers crossed for luck! Also, you have totally made my day with the mere mention of double chocolate brownies!!! With orange juice and rum--omg ;-). You may turn me into a baker after all... Thanks so much for the awesome idea.<br /><br />Rick~LOL! Yeah, I have a tendency to overwrite :). Glad you liked the recipe--let me know how it turns out if you try it! BTW, I've been really enjoying your blog. Thanks for tackling a subject like writers and depression this week. Your post and the many comments it generated have been fascinating.<br />(For anyone who hasn't read it, Rick's blog is here: http://thewriterandthewhitecat.blogspot.com/)Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-59871124681419998092009-12-19T09:27:51.158-06:002009-12-19T09:27:51.158-06:00My gosh you pack a lot into a blog posting, Marily...My gosh you pack a lot into a blog posting, Marilyn.

I look forward to next year and your Jane costume!<br /><br />We have snow around the UK disrupting trains and roads and the Eurostar!! I'm supposed to be going home and meeting my Belgian friend off the train today :/ Wish us luck.<br /><br />As to English Trifle, that recipe looks simply scrummy. I thought I'd tell you it is perfectly legitimate to breed traditional trifle with all sorts of other things, including brownies instead of angel cake, soak them in a little orange juice and some flavoured rum - aMAZing! Especially leftover double chocolate brownies hehehe.<br /><br />xxAmethyst Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10771473170184731480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-45704923205870742882009-12-18T22:15:50.905-06:002009-12-18T22:15:50.905-06:00Thanks for telling us about your trip!

I'm like you, I'm not sure if I'm ready to take that step at a Jane-themed meeting yet. <br /><br />English Trifle recipe-- looks easy AND yummy!<br /><br />A question about Edie's comment--- I always assumed Janeites and Jane Austen fans were one in the same. Is a Janeite a more serious fan, then?<br /><br />Laura Hartness<br /><a href="http://calicocritic.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Calico Critic</a>Laura Hartnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03105906576784171388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-66046535833216031552009-12-18T20:27:37.212-06:002009-12-18T20:27:37.212-06:00Oh, wow, Edie!

It took me about 1hr.20min. to get up there, but I'm used to driving an hour further to reach my parents. Watch out, though. We Janeites can be fanatical--LOL. I might just swing by your house next year and make you join us :-).<br /><br />Re: the snow--I had to go out and do some Christmas shopping in the middle of the day when the flakes were really coming down, but I'm happy to say it didn't really stick. Falling snow IS pretty. I just don't want it trapping me in the house any more than necessary!<br /><br />To anyone reading this--hope you have a great weekend!!Marilyn Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303846770348840645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391820021882341461.post-62238225845999577982009-12-18T14:01:28.868-06:002009-12-18T14:01:28.868-06:00Marilyn, you were about 10-15 minutes from my hous...Marilyn, you were about 10-15 minutes from my house! I'm a Jane Austen fan, but not a Jane-ite. Though I did consider getting myself a Jane Austen action figure. lol <br /><br />I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's not snowing by us today, so we expect some yesterday. I think of shoveling as exercise, and that makes me feel a bit better about it.Edie Ramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084144940233965447noreply@blogger.com
