I was fortunate to have my daughter home to visit this holiday weekend. She arrived late on Thursday night and stayed until Monday morning. I took Good Friday off from work and got my hair "done" early that morning. My daughter used my car and did a few errands. That evening I purchased the goodies to make a "Low Country Boil". Simple ingredients include some large shrimp with the shell on, crab legs, corn on the cobs, bag of red potatoes, packages of hot links. I cooked it all up an poured it on my large turkey platter. My small family sat around the table for quite a while peeling and eating. It was a great way to start off the Easter weekend.
My husband took us all out to the Cheesecake Factory in Walnut Creek for lunch/dinner on Saturday. It is my oldest daughters favorite restaurant. I had a huge hamburger. Hubby had his favorite chinese chicken salad.
I boiled some eggs but I didn't mix up the coloring. So I didn't have any colored easter eggs this year. I do have a bag of plastic ones that I set on the table for decoration. My kids all asked for Easter baskets. However I didn't prepare any. Sigh!
