We are having a leisurely Easter Sunday around here. Poached eggs were on the menu for breakfast followed by the annual dying of the easter eggs. As we speak, Chris is making the Easter ham with some insanely good orange marmalade-mustard sauce to go on top. Life IS good. Don't think I don't know it.
After dinner we are going to sit around and let chocolate candy melt in our mouths as I tell stories about how Dottie and I used to have our baskets pretty much emptied before the day was up and Chris tells me how he and Dan would save their candy for months - enjoying it one morsel at a time. We didn't see any good reason for that kind of nonsense around our house.
where's my easter basket?

I want one, full of candy and goodies.
We always had the big easter baskets with the sugar egg that you could look into and see a sweet little cottage garden, rabbits, etc. It was a big deal to get our matching (sister & me) easter outfits. We dyed dozens of eggs with that old Pache dye that never came out as splendidly as I wanted them to. I can't tell you the number of photos of us taken in our Easter finery. Then we'd a have a huge family picnic at Live Oak Park. Wonderful memories.

Well since Joan apparently wants a basket, I won't ask for one too! I plan to go out tomorrow and hope that a bunch of the Easter goodies are still left and at 50& off. I have patience but not like Chris and Dan.
Nonsense indeed!Perhaps you could do a blood test to be sure he's 'one of us' and not from Area 51. (But since he cooks so well, I wouldn't rush to check.)
