Edible Suprise

What a surprise to get this yesterday.




A Nice Tasty Surprise.




I was so happy and proud I shared it with the kids and the piano teacher who was here.


After the kids had eaten more than 10 of the chocolate covered strawberries and bananas, I asked them to wait for Dad to have some too.


This is the face of a sugar crash.


Sad isn't it? It's hard to be denined when you want more chocolate.

Easter's just around the corner.

Spring is in the air and Easter around the corner. Is anyone else getting spring fever? Ready to plant flowers and make/eat Easter Lunch? I am! I just have to wait a few weeks on the veggies and flowers, but the Easter Menu is getting planned. One year we planned the menu around an Easter Brunch in a Southern Living Cookbook. Ever since then, I love buttermilk biscuit's. They are not a tradition for our family, but I'm trying to sneak them in. He is a link for a dressed up version, Buttermilk Biscuits with Goat Cheese and Chives.





Also with Easter come a strong church season, it may be the biggest Christan holiday. Our Church is gearing up for our annual Eggstravaganza, it's going to be great! My brother Todd lives out of town, and is in his Church band. They have a new site for St. Ann's Music Ministry, Check it out.





And I leave you with a picture of Ryan over the weekend. We took an 18 mile bike ride and along the way he visited Lewis and Clark's cave along the Missouri River.

Our Favorite Indian Restaurant

Once when JP was just a tiny tot, we went to visit my brother in New York City, you know the place were they make lots of salsa (ha ha) He took us to this tiny little Indian restaurant in Little India. To say the restaurant was about the size of my bathroom is not much of a stretch. They had people packed in next to each other like a school cafeteria and the door man put us in the last available seats in the back, by the kitchen and under the dripping AC unit. To add even more pizazz to a restaurant like this, the walls were lined with reflective wallpaper and chili-pepper-Christmas-lights. I've heard the food is great, but you'd really have to see it to get the full picture, I can't do it justice.

Anyway, I was way to paranoid to eat there thinking my 1 year old child would get Hepatitis by just sitting in his car seat so I blamed it on the AC dripping on my head and we continued to a completely different restaurant and ate 3 hours later, because that is how you do things there.

Since then I have a completely different appreciation for Indian food. Chicken Tikka Marsala is just about the best thing around and if I work things just right, we get to go to our local favorite, Taj Mahal. He's my crew enjoying their Naan and Curry.

You might wonder if they'd ever let us back :-)

Maybe I"ll go to Subway after all.

Fresh Chicken and Broccolli. Wow sounds like a great dinner. I like the fresh part. It really makes me think that I am making a good food choice.
Poor, poor Americans. How do we stand a chance.
