Best Easter Ever!



Yeah, that's right. I made an R2D2 egg. it was beautiful... and eventually delicious.




Made by special request for the lovely, the talented, the one and only Julia Vega. We miss you! Come home soon.




Kim and I got each other baskets and decided that they would make fun hats. At this same time we sent Kelly and Angela on a scavenger hunt/easter egg hunt all over the house. Plastic eggs with clues inside leading them to the next and the next and so on. Good times.




Easter dinner. Best Italian restaurant in the valley. Tutti Santi on 16th street just north of Glendale. By the way, that is a picture of my grandmother. Drunk.

Our waiter offered us all a complimentary shot of sambuca to wind down the meal, kind of like what greeks will sometimes do with ouzo.

My grandmother not only got a little drunk, but aactually accused me of being a light weight! She had a cocktail and the shot of sambuca and she was slurring and giggling. I had a glass of wine and the shot and said I had the slightest of buzzes and that maybe Kim should drive us home. It was then that my grandmother accused me of being a light weight. Pot-kettle! Pot-kettle!

Then gramps was going to offer me his shot, because he can't drink, and he spilled it all over the table. As we were leaving, my grandmother comes up to me and whispers:

Gramma: I can't believe you spilled your shot. I could have had it. I didn't even get a f*cking buzz!

Hmm. I think everyone there would tend to disagree with you gram. But we love you anyway.

Good times.

At least your grandparents always provide fun, festive stories, usually surrounding a meal

Haha. Yeah, food is an event when you are a part of a big italian family. I miss the days when those meals would invlove 30 or more people, all related to me. Those were the days.
Vega: I thought you'd like it. We hollowed out a few before we dyed them so they could be keepers. Yours is one. It's on your TV.
