This doesn’t look like the kinda food that I would make or feature on this site, but it just kinda fell in my lap. Karen told her mom she’d make a strawberry mousse pie and then Jasper’s latest teething episode disrupted her cooking and I wound up carrying out her instructions. Well, we took the tart to Karen’s parents and her mom totally turned her nose up at it, just pushed it around the plate. I don’t even like fluffy/airy desserts, and I know this shit was the bomb. Well, at least Jasper will grow out of his finikiness… (sorry this post is so belated, but I didn’t want the pictures to disappear into my hard drive, forgotten)
Although this isn’t all food related, some is, and I’m just beginning figure out how to upload pictures efficiently to this Wordpress template.

Easter started off with a high energy baby and a groggy daddy.

Even when Winter unexpectedly returns for the weekend (that was the case around Easter, if you can recall during the 90 degree eat), Jasper is always happy to go see his ducks at Fountain Lake (the ducks being mostly Canadian geese and seagulls). Rolling away from the bread begging birds, however, always elicits a tantrum, making walks a little bittersweet. The middle part of the day included a strenuous bike ride with a friend and fantastic brunch at Aziza’s. The day culminated in a trip to Mechanicsville for Easter Dinner. Jasper wearing the requisite Easter Outfit for his grandparents. The strawberry dessert soured things a little, but we know it was good and, if you’ve got the time/energy to make it, you’ll probably come to the same conclusion.
