Our pastor's family came over for Easter dinner. They are just about the coolest people. I love their honesty and straighforwardness. Their kids, all four of 'em, are sharp and fun and kind and humble.
My mom and I decided to go big for this meal...just for kicks. We made a crown roast, which is essentially a rack of ribs rolled into a crown. We stuffed it with apricot stuffing. We made apricot candied carrots and a fancy-schmancy salad. For dessert, I made Oreo cookie salad and a frozen dark chocolate mocha mouse cake.
It was a meal I was proud of, but more than that, it was a chance to go crazy in the kitchen out of love for another. Is there anything better or more fun than cooking for those you love? It is such a joy.
I was too busy hustling and bustling about the kitchen to snap many photos, but here are a few...just for kicks.

Thanks, J Stu! It was a great day...and would have been even better with you around!
I recognize that mug! I also like to go crazy in the kitchen for those I love. I've heard that food is a love language...
I think food could (should?) be a love language :). Mugs are also a love language...especially if they contain coffee.
