Every Easter we put on a Easter egg hunt for the kids. In the past I actually made the eggs with the kits, but it never worked out right. The dye just never dried properly and last year I even had to wrap them in plastic wrap so that we could hide them. This year I just decided to do fake ones so that I did not have to worry about dye on my carpet!
It is not a big secret that I am not a chef, but compared to my best friend Neda, I am Chef Ramsay! She literally peels one potatoe to my 5! During preparation for Easter diner I thought that I had the perfect job for her. Peeling hard boiled eggs for devilled eggs. I have NEVER seen ANYONE peel an egg that slow! It was soooo funny! I actually helped because it was taking to long! But I love her anyway!
I have now mastered my apple pie and now I have a new challenge. In my family the tradition for every holiday is that my Dad makes pies using my Grandma Gagne's recipes. My Dad and I are the only ones who eat this butterscotch pie, but it just would not be a holiday without it. I guess that it reminds me of my Grandma who I miss dearly.
I was really surprised how the stores keep these flowers. They do not keep them in water because once you put them in water they bloom. I thought that this was kind of odd and I was not sure if the lady at Save on Foods was pulling my leg just sell them, but I thought that I would try anyway just for curiosity. They really were not that expensive, so why not? Sure enough, by the time Easter dinner rolled around, they were open!
