Easter Sunday
I hope you all had a glorious Easter. We did! We had a beautiful morning at church, with no baby crying for once! Andrew excitedly made a connection with today's Scripture reading, always a sweet moment.

Since my table is small, I generally let guests help themselves to a buffet lunch. I'm still learning how best to arrange things here. Having lived with tiny kitchens, all this counter space is a blessing I *truly* appreciate!

oh! Is that Boiled Custard i spy on your dessert buffet : ) ?
Soooooo lovely. Thanks for giving us a peek into your home!
Also.... I do so like the framed print of birds you have propped on your counter. I passed one by at a resale shop a while back, and regret not purchasing it. Do you know the artist? Or any "tracking info"? Thanks!
Mmmm split pea or lentil soup. . . .
Happy Easter to you and it looks like you had a great day. What a blessing for you!
For your ham bone:
Place bone in large stock pot.
Pour in a 97 cent bag of lentils.
Chop in an onion.
Pour in water to almost cover the bone.
Boil for an hour or too - et voila, enjoy your lentil soup.
You can pull the bone out just before serving and chop off little bitsies of ham to float around in it.
My husband always puts a schploop of sour cream on his soup.
Everyone loves it.
This looks great! The food is all so beautiful. I always love making split pea soup with leftover ham bones.
What a lovely lunch it looks like you had!
I recommend this recipe for your ham leftovers. I use the ham bone to make stock in the crock pot and use that instead of the water and chicken bullion.
