Happy Easter, Egg!


I made the assignments last week. Mother agreed to Baked Virigina Ham from the Contessa and deviled eggs. Robin took one for the team: starch and carbs. Her world famous rolls and scalloped potatoes, which morphed into funeral potatoes by Easter day. I had high hopes for Curried Pea Soup but forgot to purchase butter lettuce the day prior. I settled on Green Peas in Cream from Edna Lewis who always makes me feel like an American. That's the thing. Even international holidays make me feel like a patriot. I also tossed mixed greens, strawberries, toasted pecans, French feta, and balsamic olive oil mix in a wooden bowl. We finished with strawberry-shortcake cookies and chocolate cupcakes with Cadbury mini eggs atop.
