I was going to have The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George for Feb Book Babes at my house. But it seemed too heavy for winter. This book, The Uncommon Reader, was a recommendation for those who liked Little Paris Bookshop and it was a lot shorter, lighter, and about Queen Elizabeth II, so perfect as I anticipate going to the UK this spring for Prince Harry's royal wedding.
I've always wanted to try making Yorkshire pudding and a Victoria sponge cake (I like watching Victoria on Masterpiece Theatre and enjoyed the film "Victoria and Abdul") so I settled on Sunday night dinner with a traditional English roast.
It was easy to make the roast in a crock pot all day Sunday and the Victoria sponge was just two round cakes with a nice strawberry jam between layers topped with whipped cream and berries. I thought the best thing I made was the no-churn Earl Grey ice cream to go with the cake.

Book Babes are the best! Next month we're at Maureen's.
