Crystal's Pasty Recipe

I'll make this quick - but my mom's name is Patty and she's from the UP. Growing up in Central Wisconsin, I didn't know what a pasty was. I knew my mom got one every time we went to visit grandma though. My mom still loves pasty's like us Wisconsin girls like our deep fried cheese curds. She tried one from a local grocer the other day and commented how terribly tasteless it was. I decided since yesterday was St Patrick's Day I would try my hand at making her a pasty. Here you go! I didn't follow a recipe - so this may not follow the traditional rules of pasty making. You've been warned! (lol - but they were delicious) Filling Ingredients: -1/4 C diced onions -2lb ground beef -3 potatoes chopped into small pieces (if you prefer, you can use 1 potato and 2 rutabaga or whatever combination you prefer - to get you to approximately 3 cups of "stuff") -2 carrots chopped into small pieces -3 stalks of celery chopped into small pieces -1 cl...

5 Star Review of "Mrs. Murray's Ghost (The Piccadilly Street Series Book 1)

About the Book: It's 1967 and Mary’s family has moved into a huge Victorian mansion. She loves her gigantic new house, especially her room. But then she begins to meet the house’s other residents. Mrs. Murray was murdered in Mary’s new house. At first she tries to scare the new residents away, but there seems to be a force connecting the ghost to Mary. Even the stranded Brownies, the little people who live between the walls, feel that connection. When Mary becomes deathly ill, the Brownies and the ghost team up to try to rescue her, only to encounter a witch and her evil dragons and minions. Time is running out. They must rescue Mary from a fever-induced dream world before she is trapped there forever.
