Easter Morning

Well, it's 9:06 on Easter morning and we have yet to color our eggs. Hmmmm.  I also still need to send Ernie to the store to buy half of what we need for Easter dinner.  Somehow Easter has crept up on me.  I worked yesterday and pretty much all I did last night was go to the library with Owen, have a drink at F&P with Ernie and cook dinner....crawl into bed with my kindle.  Lovely but not terribly productive.  Dinner was simple but delicious.

So here I sit, finishing up one of Ernie's Sunday Biscuits and perusing the web for recipes.  I guess I'm going kind of classic....a ham with marmalade/dijon glaze, roasted asparagus and some kind of potato gratin. Dessert is planned to be a mascarpone cheesecake with balasamic strawberries but we'll see if that actually happens.  I even thought about a little puff pastry mushroom tart for an appetizer but who knows if that will see the light of day either.  My BIL Dennis is coming over so it will feel like a holiday despite my lack of planning.

Can we all agree that peonies (these are tree peonies at work) are one of the sexiest of flowers?
