Here I am, catching up once again. We have been so lucky to have many friends visit us here in Boston this year and when they show up I pretty much forget about everything to do with my normal life in favour of basking in easy relationships, eating crap, and a general sense of well-being.  It does wonders for my attitude. And reminds me that I’m so not 18 anymore and staying up late night after night after night leaves me feeling like I was hit by a truck. Several times. 

In other news we’re hurtling downhill towards the sugar coma that commences tomorrow. Today I’m making Easter bread which is about 20% whipping cream, 20% eggs, 50% sugar and 10% flour. Then we cover it with icing and jelly beans. God Bless my German heritage and the string of artery clogging recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation of delightfully plump women (except my mom who is somehow exempt from her genetic heritage). 

The rest of the day will be egg decorating and eating a fridge full of leftovers from a week of eating out. My body just might recover from this week and the upcoming Easter chocolate binge just about in time for Christmas. Excellent.
