Since it’s Easter Weekend we have a ton of stuff to do.Yesterday we went to my Mom’s cousin’s house down in Connecticut for a Good Friday supper. It was a lot of fun, and we got to see Auntie Carol, Noni and Uncle Eddie plus a bunch of relatives I haven’t seen since I was little. Arin got to play with PUPPIES and chase little kids around so he was in heaven. Unfortunately, we left pretty late and he slept on the car ride… then woke up when we got home and couldn’t fall back asleep until 4:30 AM. Not…

Let me share with you my little nail polish saga from Wednesday. It began with my trying out a ‘new’ shade. I bought China Glaze – For Audrey when I got everyone’s Christmas nail polishes, but I hadn’t tried it out. After seeing the Greenport nail polish that I wrote about before, I decided I really wanted to see if I liked blue/greens on, as I never used to. Well, yeah, I still don’t. It just looks too middle school for me, I don’t know? I saw the host on that makeup artist show wearing it last season, I didn’t…

I really need to find more creative lunches that are healthier than PB&J … maybe peanut butter and broccoli? Or spinach butter and mango jam? Well, maybe not, but I think next time I’m at the store I’m going to buy the Polaner All Fruit spread instead of the liquid purple goo they have turned grape jelly into.

Since our ‘grass’ has been… unmaintained for a number of years, it basically no longer exists. However, much of our large yard is covered with delicious, fuzzy, luxurious, verdant moss. So I wanted to encourage the moss and make a lovely moss garden… I’m starting with an area in the back behind the pool. While out raking my ‘moss garden’ yesterday I noticed some weird little … things growing on some of the moss. I had my camera and… now you’re subject to my series on ALIEN MOSS SCAPES! Mwwahhhh… You can click them to see all the weird freaky…

YUM! I really like the King Arthur Cream Tea Scones mix they sell at the grocery store… it comes out really yummy. I asked my sister to pick up a box at the store, and unfortunately she came back with the Blueberry Sour Cream variety. Ick, I thought, I don’t like blueberries! Well, out of desperation for scones to compliment the rainy weather and my warm English Breakfast tea, I decided to try it. Here’s the before-baking shot: And guess what… King Arthur didn’t let me down, these are delicious! I still don’t like blueberries, but these scones are moist…

Now this is what 5am is supposed to look like. Beautiful early sunrise ocean views after a long night of dancing with friends in an exotic location. All that stands between me and dreaming of these sweet, sweet memories is a 5am courtesy of… BOBOSAURUS REX. Which 5am would you prefer?

I love breakfast, and I especially love baking for breakfast. I was in search of new and interesting egg recipes when I came across this gem… Danish Aeggekage. I’m assuming that translates to Egg Cake. I was pronouncing it aggle-kak-en-kugel. *That’s not correct, weirdly enough. It tastes like a thick crepe in the middle (I love crepes) and the puffy edges taste like popovers. Delicious. So I’ve made this a fair number of times over the past few months… I’m trying to perfect it for my situation. It’s originally meant to be quite large, containing 8 or 10 eggs… but…

When it comes to getting into something he wants, Arin is a genius… an EVIL genius. He couldn’t stack Legos for the longest time, but he sure had no issue taking the top off this huge tin of Danish cookies. Todd brought them home from school, and someone left them in the living room. I didn’t discover his new ‘trick’ until he’d eaten about 50 of them I’m sure. This is because after sneaking a cookie out, he would carefully fit the top back on and push it closed before enjoying his tasty treat… every time. I hid them on…
