Happy Easter

It was almost warm enough to eat outside.  But quite windy.  

There were the obligatory deviled eggs.

 

We made Bloody Mary aspic eggs with ramp pesto and chevre .

And cornbread eggs topped with a spread of country ham and pickled okra.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter

This Sunday take some time to smell the flowers.

PeepShow

I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but here in Lucindaville it is stormy and dreary and we are need of jolt of the jolly. As Easter is approaching we thought we would share one our favorite spring things. For the past five years the Washington Post has a Peep Show. They hold a contest asking their readers to make a diorama using that iconic Easter confection the Peep.


This years winner was crated by Mary Jo Ondrejka from Reston; Bryn Metzdorf from Fairfax; and Margaret Hartka from Parkton, Md. and was entitled: "Chilean CoPeepapo Mine Rescue" The rescue diorama included such pertinent details as miner Ariel Ticona meeting his newborn daughter for the first time and Peep Johnny Barrios Rojas being greeted by both his wife and mistress.


Some other entrants that I liked.

"Vincent Van Peep's Starry Night" by MaryLea Harris from Fairfax

"Split Peep Soup Company" by Patsy Helmetag and Jean McCoy from Annapolis
