Eats Easter

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

I know the greeting is a little late especially for those at the other  side of the hemisphere.

People yonder are back to the nitty gritty business of making a living which is good in a sense after a week or so of slowing things down. Back here, we have the Monday  after Easter Sunday as a holiday still and the course of events  is still bordering on the quiet. The world is still a little  laid back over here.

Well, after a Lenten hiatus I'm still trying  pick up some blogging rhythm. I'm a little bit rusty on the keys. The mind still needs a little push to get that flow of sensible thoughts and words to share on the blogging world.

I'm taking things slowly. I won't be too verbose in explaining  images that I have recorded with my camera about our Easter Sunday celebration spent with family. Let me just say it is all about family bonding  and good  food that gives joy and meaning to the season which is springtime.

                   

Hydrangeas in full bloom  lightens up an Easter  traditional breakfast of pancakes and crispy bacon and ....

                   

sliced fruits galore which brightens up the table. A healthy wake-upper too.

                   

My 4-year-old  rendering a cutting edge Easter design on a jumbo egg. The egg went well with the pancakes and bacon. He he.

                   

A parade of hand painted Easter eggs.Thanks to the roosters and hens who "worked" overtime  just to produce these Resurrection day delicacy. I wouldn't want  to be in their place.Never.

Lunch started with a salad of field greens topped with strawberries, oranges and pine nuts drizzled with a raspberry vinaigrette. Eaten with the salad was grilled salmon fillet.

                   

On the side was fresh green and white asparagus roasted in olive oil. Simple but ah.. how can I describe the flavor.

                   

A taste of Asia with stir- fried  prawns and bell peppers in Sesame oil.

                   

The best way to end those painful meatless days is a healthy doze of prime rib roast rubbed with fresh rosemary and thyme. On the side to compliment the spring  aromas of the herbs were mushrooms sauteed in pearl tomatoes and aged balsamic vinegar.
