easter day

Unwinding with a plate of rosemary bread and butter, looking out at the twilight across the snow;  I hope your Easter Day was a delight!   We had ham and whipped potatoes, bok choy salad, above mentioned rosemary bread, far too many sweets ( chocolates, jelly beans and that wicked carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and marzipan carrots, which may or may not have contributed to the gently manic energy level of the grands, but then again, they are little, and prone to sudden bursts of looney hilarity).    A quick departure, as my daughter-in-law started having contractions, which we hope was simply too much good food and much laughter.

the easter carrot cake

This is last year's Easter Carrot Cake - decorated by a then 2 year old. She put 1 1/2 inches of frosting on the top, and managed to do a pretty great job with the marzipan carrots ( some of which were made by her mama) . If you haven't got your dessert for tomorrow, this is a moist and delicious cake! You can find the recipe here. I'll post new pictures tomorrow, after we get it frosted and decorated.
