Easter Sunday ...

March 31, 2013

It was a lovely ... sunny ... warm day ...
Mike was invited to go ice-fishing ... to be back for dinner ...
Mom came out for the afternoon ... after we prepared the main dish for our meal ...
while it was cooking ...
we went for a walk ... then ended up hiking up the hill ... to mom & dads favourite spot ...
looking over the lake and toward Baker Mountain ...
It was great to spend some mother /daughter time together ...
we hadn't spent a day like this in a long time ...

 Mom helped with dinner ... she was hungry for an Austrian Roast Pork dinner ...
 Schweinsbraten with Flour Dumplings and White Cabbage Salad
it's infused with heaps of garlic .. caraway seeds ... cooked in the oven for hours ...
and the last hour doused with beer and sliced onions ...
the best part is that you make this pork with the skin on ... a delicacy of super crisp pork rind ...
I had also cooked a Turkey with all the trimmings too ... including dessert ...
for a very delicious buffet dinner ...
for just the three of us ...
we were not sure what time the kids would be arriving after a glorious day of skiing ...

Lot's of leftovers for the next few days and then some ... !!!!

The Easter Bunny had arrived early Sunday Morning ...
leaving baskets with a little chocolate and jelly beans ... bubble wands ... Frisbees
plus a poster of "The Croods" movie ...
that the grandchildren wanted to see ...
along with tickets for the show on Monday night ...
we had an Easter Egg Hunt before they headed off to bed ...

It was a beautiful day for all of us ... !!!
