happy easter!

some weekend highlights...

a craft show.
this lovely flower arrangement had been on display at the coffee place down the road and i loved it... but it was very expensive (for two students, that is)... but when i went to the craft show down the road, it was there! and the artist was there, and i told her how much i liked it... she asked me how much i wanted for it and i... didnt know what to say... so i asked her how much she'd take for it... and she quoted me 1/4 the price it had been listed at... so it was an offer i could not resist...

rabbit likes it too.

this was the other piece i decided to get... i'd bought a vase from the same artist at this same craft show a year or two ago.

next: baking.

greg went to burn a prairie... not the prairie from the previous post. i found a muffin recipe in a kentucky cookbook. i had never heard of boiled frosting before, but it's quite good!


muffins.

next: raedar finds a new toy...

next: greg chops the winter squash for our not-so-spring-like easter dinner...

two of the dishes called for onions... so we thought we'd try to convince friend julie that onions are good... but these onions aren't doing a good job at being convincing...

the meal: artichokes, winter squash risotto, and stuffing...

i came to the realization that i really like cooking risotto. after the initial preparation, there's not much to it... stir... add broth... stir... add broth... stir... a stress reducer!

happy easter.
