I ate the sacrificial lamb. I know most of you read about the traditional Easter lamb – here, at my niece’s blog and here, at my sister’s retelling.
I ate it. Well most of it. I didn’t de-ear it. Or de-nose it for that matter but I did eat his hind quarters. In little slivery bits -all day long. Those little Rice Krispy elves are going to haunt my dreams all night long.
And we gave Remy a mohawk. It was the SUGAR, I tell you!
We were hopped up on marshmallow treats, what can I say.
In order to redeem myself I did make the most perfect Springtime soup for dinner. One of the very first blogs I discovered was French Kitchen in America – Mimi remains one of my biggest culinary and Francophile inspirations. She has a recipe for roasted asparagus, shallot, mushroom and roasted chicken soup. Can you think of any four ingredients that better signify spring than those? Me either.
So I made it tonight for my Dad and myself and ~ Mimi – my Dad said, about a million times – "this is REALLY good soup." No higher praise needed.
OH YUM, i wish I could have stayed. Miriam wasn’t even expecting us?!! She forgot what day it was. Anyway, I’m glad the soup turned out!
You bad girl you ate the sacrificial lamb! So cute!

I’m glad to hear you liked the soup, Andrea! That is an adorable cake. I have been looking at the photos of your home and I am so envious. Mine is just never that tidy! You obvious have great energy as well as flair.
I am glad your dad like it, too. I mean. I am a little loony myself – I ate some Girl Scout cookies and that probably explains it.
That Easter brunch looked amazing!!! At first I couldn’t tell what the lamb looked like, until I saw it on the other two blogs!! You guys must have had a great time. We had a mid day dinner, not by my choosing,but it turned out nice and very relaxing. I loved visiting you niece and sisters blogs 🙂
