Easter Tidbits

We had a good Easter with lots of fun and good food. Let's start with the ubiquitous Peeps, now in neon colors too. I heard on the radio the other day that Americans purchase 700 million Peeps a year. I guess most of them get eaten, but some must end up like this. How sad. We ate ours. Of course from the Peep's point of view that is just as sad as microwave jousting.

We also had these salmon dip appetizers. The dip is cream cheese, salmon, onion puree, and a little sour cream whirled in the Cuisinart. It is then piped onto endive leaves and garnished with alfalfa sprouts. Yum.

And I made these watercress sandwiches again. And we had a crudite platter, but I didn't get a photo of that.

And Kim made this cheesy bunny. Cream cheese, onions, and herbs. Isn't he cute?

For the rest of the meal we had the same menu as last year, but different desserts. This year we had carrot cake, angel food cake with strawberries, and layer cake with chocolate frosting.

Because of the rain we had to stay indoors, so after dinner we played games. And shot nerf guns. In the dining room. And I wonder why frosting is found on the walls later? The girls told me the Lord of the Manor did it with a stray shot to the carrot cake! Oy vey! Just a typical day here Amongst The Oaks.
