I have that exact set of blue flowered Corning dishes in the first picture. We use them all the time.

Forgot to post Easter dessert.

Yep, I was waiting for those pics, after you mentioned the dessert earlier...looks absolutely delicious...!!!

I like it on crackers, etc., as well. But, I can also just eat it by itself with a fork or spoon, too...!!!

The last time I camped out was for one of the first OzzFests. That was a crazy night.

I'll bet!
Good memories...!!!!!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. She should be ordering my annual cholesterol test. Probably not so great, since I ate a lot of hardboiled eggs, and rich food the last few days. My cholesterol is borderline high, but I refuse to take medication. That stuff scares me with all the side effects.

Bleh. I'd much rather have the 83 degrees it is here today.

^^^^^This 85

Easter dinner. My daughter did an awesome job. We are so full we are having our homemade brownie sundaes later.

And her uncle broke his ankle bad and spent most of last night at the hospital so she made a Easter Dinner ToGo tray for my sister and him. She even sent a cup of vanilla ice cream for their brownies and "fancy" paper napkins that have an old lady saying "You're Never Too Old To Eat Cake".

That's so sweet of your dd. Prayers and pixie dust for your sis and bil.

Good luck and see if you can do the blood draw in about a week.

I'm eating a chocolate rabbit now. For dinner, I have turkey chili in the crock pot (not exactly traditional Easter food, but whatever . . . )

Oh, @figmentfan423 , you recently mentioned the movie, Hidden Figures. I bought the DVD this weekend, and watched it this afternoon. It is an excellent film, and I highly recommend it!

THNX. I read the book. It was a bit dry but look forward to the movie when I finally ketchup with after few others on my list.

Well, today was my Birthday, as well as Easter. Had to take my 5 yr. old cousin to the mall to get a picture with the Easter Bunny. Fun

Happy belated birthday to you, and I wish you many more.

Good morning I was off to a bit of a late start today. Dinner ran a bit late last night and we watched Fantastic Beasts which I found enjoyable. Not as good as the original HP but worth watching I'm letting the boys sleep in but I have to get my dh up early so tomorrow I'll be back on schedule

We all like to eat what we enjoy. There are no rules anymore about what we're "supposed" to serve at holidays. I recall my mother was big on everything being traditional. But I've marched to the beat of a different drummer as the years went by. Sometimes, I find chips and dip to be quite satisfying, regardless of the "occasion"!
