Easter meal was delicious.

Last Sunday night's Easter meal was beautiful and delicious.  I wore a big zebra necklace and some killer grey boots with a jean skirt.  It was so nice to enjoy my family and we played a hysterical alphabet game at the dinner table where pretend careers included moth ball removing and cha cha dancing.  During the appetizer hour, everyone gathered in the kitchen area and drank lemon champagne cocktails made by Wesley or wine.  For nibbles, there was tomato toasts with fresh mozzarella and basil garnish and prosciutto dates, salty Spanish almonds, green olives and a gorgonzola dip. Dinner menu included lamb, salmon, salad of mandarin orange and hearts of palm, roasted potatoes and asparagus.  And for dessert? Homemade mint chocolate pudding and meringue with lemon curd and strawberries.  Oh my, some good eating, wonderful company and a nice end to a happy, meaning-filled day.

Hostess Julie wore a nice blue dress with great buttons all the way down.  Too bad she's turned around in this picture.

The cocktail napkins were almost too pretty to use.

Hostess Margot wore a pretty blouse.

Thyme dinner rolls.

Centerpiece for dining room table.

Big shells looks so fresh with lilies and a simple blue and white tablecloth.

After the meal, we put little tiny sparklers over our head.  It felt goofy and special.

Happy Easter season!  xoxo
