..............Saturday to enjoy with the Kentucky Derby.................
..............Then Sunday was International Harry Potter day so I made 2 recipes from my HP cookbook.......
.............May the 4th be with you today!!!...................
.............And tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo! ...................
Yo never ceases to amaze me with your kitchen!! That cake is so cute and I love the purple sugar on it. I'm glad you saved the gumball machine, you can do some cute pics with that guy. I just thought he was a bunny gumball machine at first.Happy Easter every pony
We actually did our Easter yesterday, cause my brother had to work today. I tried to scale down since I worked everyday and could just prepare a little each evening but it all came together and we had a fun time. I made a ham, baked pineapple casserole (one of my favorites), potato salad, sweet potato rolls, pinwheel appetizers, a peanut pie, a pistachio cake and my family brought other dishes and fried chicken I hid eggs and we had a silly adult Easter egg hunt after we ate which was lots of fun.
The piece de resistance is the egg cake I made. I wish I had trimmed the side oval a little more evenly but I will know what tips to try next time I make it to get it to perfection, I'm still happy with how it came out though and it tasted good too which is paramount.

Also, my Dad gave me this Pillsbury doughboy gumball machine a couple months ago. When I was a kid my Dad was a manager of a grocery store. One of the years Pillsbury did their Bake-Off contest they also hosted a contest for stores to create the best display (this was in the 80/90s, when store merchandise displays were a thing). Anyway, my Dad won the contest and received a paid family vacation and a bunch of Pillsbury swag including this gumball machine. It's been in his attic collecting dust all these years but he asked if I wanted to give him a home. I immediately thought of how I could dress him seasonally through the year so I cleaned him up and here he is debuting his Easter look

Memorial weekend is my birthday the 28th, you can celebrate my birth as well! LolWhat a busy week for us holiday enthusiasts! I'm having to scale back, let's see Harry Potter day was Monday, decided to postpone that one and celebrate on Harry's b-day later this year to spread out the festivities. It's rough when all these hit together and during the work week
Hope the 4th was with you all yesterday!
Yesterday for dinner I made wampa arm meatloaf with what was supposed to be twin sun toasts but my yokes didn't turn out pretty and wookiee cookies, which are really just choc chip but the recipe came from my Star Wars cookbook so it still counts LOL
