Amy I worked on Easter so I had a bowl of ramen when I got home. That isn't exciting so I decided to treat myself to a belated Easter brunch on my next day off ( That was Tuesday). I took the beloved food writer Elizabeth David's simple menu of an omelette and a glass of wine. I made a cheesy herby omelette, fresh baked bread, a big ass salad and a bottle of white zif. The late Judith Jones wrote a cookbook after her husband passed entitled The Pleasure of Cooking For One. I have taken it to heart since I became single. Do I miss spending holidays with my family? The big picture is that I, of course, miss my family. But I seek solace in solitude. Nelson Mandela was once asked being in prison had changed him. Mr. Mandela response was," I grew up.". Oklahoma is by no means a prison but my isolation has helped me to grow up. I am not sad that I had to work on Easter and come home to my dog. I am happy that I have a job and my Beatrix. That in of itself is worth celebrating. Nikita Easter 2019 weekend looked a little different for us this year. As my family is preparing to move, we were sorting and packing to lead up to our first ever garage sale on Saturday.It was a success, but the work didn't stop there. Later in the day, I happened to stop in awe of these cactus blooms to enjoy them for a few minutes. I ended up painting two rooms on Sunday and three sets of cabinets...whew. We haven't been eating home cooked meals regularly, and Easter was no different. We ended up eating out at one of our favorite restaurants called the The Cornish Pasty. Love me some Scotch Eggs and Cubano Pasty with Mustard Creme Sauce. Delicious! Georgia This was my Easter weekend. Photo shoot with my friend TK for a fundraiser for Angel Flight. Brews & Props. Afterwards we joined our friend Nora at her splash art exhibit at a local gallery And then Easter morning with husband and our church family celebrating our risen King Jen Happy Easter!
Amy, Nikita, Georgia and Jen
