Happy Easter!

Well here it is Easter. I’m trying to remember what I did last Easter and I can’t. I must have gone to a brothers house, who knows.

This year I’m having people over and it will be a drinking and eating frenzy all day. I bought a ham, stuff to make chocolate bread French toast, bacon, mimosa’s, cheese crackers etc. There really is no start time, it’s all about eating, drinking and enjoying company. No pressure! Although I might get some footage for an episode of A Foodie’s Life.

What are you all up to today? What are your traditions? I learned how to have an egg fight with my roommate this morning. It wasn’t as violent as I wished it would be. You gently tap each others egg to see which one breaks first. I was hoping you threw the eggs at each other. Sounds like more fun to me!

Have a great day everyone!

A preview of what’s to come!

When life gets me down there are only two things that make it better cooking and eating.  I must have been extremely depressed this weekend because I cooked the whole time.  I, actually, was extremely depressed this past weekend but you don’t need to know why!  Stop prying into my business!

There were no special events, nothing going on this weekend, just me, a friend and cooking.  What came out of it you ask?  An amazing brunch with asparagus, caramelized onions, poached eggs, pepper bacon and assorted italian cheese. My friend has given up bread and chocolate for Lent so we had to come up with something for the oozing yolk to seep out onto.

 

While we were at the grocery store that morning I got talked into buying a prime rib from the butcher.  Believe it or not, I’d never cooked one myself, so I was up for a new experience.  For dinner that night we had prime rib, asparagus and I made a hollandaise sauce and my friend made a salad.

 

The reason I bring all these things up, dear blog readers, is that we filmed the whole thing! So while I haven’t been writing, I’ve been feverishly trying to get stuff edited so I can go back to my promise of putting up one video a week.  I have at least two, if not three, video’s worth of footage.  So hang in there and you’ll see all this stuff soon!

Coming soon….a new episode of A Foodie’s Life!

Yep, I’m diligently working on editing a new episode of A Foodie’s Life or you all.  Actually, I will be doing that probably on Monday.  I started briefly a few minutes ago but don’t think I’ll get much done today.  A few nights ago I hosted Bingo at my favorite bar, Rumpy’s Tavern.  It’s where I spend most of my time when I’m not working, they are like family.  I taped the whole thing, or actually one of my friends taped it for me.  It was hysterical!  I cooked some of my pasta alla vodka and we played bingo and laughed the whole time.  I think you are really going to enjoy it!  I had so much fun that I’ve been asked to come back in a few weeks and call Bingo again!

So that’s what is going on right now.  Busy working this weekend but expect some more content on the blog soon!  Have a great weekend!
