Happy Easter!

We spent a quiet Easter Sunday at Avalon,

our American Homestead.  Our Kate came 

home from school for the weekend so I thought

I'd make something vegetarian for Easter dinner.

But Mr. Wonderful had other ideas, he wanted

a ham.  I made some veggie side dishes also.

Tomato/Mozzarella Salad ~ A family favorite.

Cauliflower/Pea Salad ~ this has always been

one of Kate's favorites.  When my kids were little

they loved peas like other kids loved M&M's.  I

considered myself very lucky.

The best scalloped potatoes I ever made.

I wrote Keeper: Delicious! on the recipe.

A spiral sliced ham with a honey crust,

we'll be eating this all week...

After dinner we walked across the backyard

to have the egg cake with my Mum and sister

Trishie.  It was delish!

From our American Homestead to wherever 

you may call home, I wish you a joyous Easter.

We missed you Brennan!

Happy Easter

 

We had a nice quiet Easter here at the

American Homestead.

 

 

Even though our kids are grown-up and

living at college, we still decorate the house

with a few bunnies and eggs.

 

 

Our Kate made it home for Easter this year,

but the boy from Bloomington couldn't make

it home.  We will see him next weekend and

give him his Easter basket then.

 

I hope you all enjoyed a beautiful Easter

Sunday wherever you may be...

 

 

Happy Easter Everyone!

Easter Greetings from Istanbul, Turkey

where there are no jelly beans or Easter

bunnies.  There is a Cathedral but we

weren't able to find it.  So, we sat in a

park and enjoyed the beauty of Spring

and taught a law student English.

Missing my family on this holiday,

can we make a bunny cake when

we are all together again in May?
