Happy belated Easter!
I hope that, like me, you plan on raiding your local drugstore for 1/2 priced Cadbury eggs and eating them all week.
Except maybe I already ate mine and it's been 2 days......

But for the actual holiday (considering I was still feeling sick), my parents and I went to dinner at Weber's Restaurant instead of dining in.
With a special menu and decorative decor, this place was all decked out for the Holiday.
For starters, bread, crostini, and crackers with butter and salmon pate.
I started with a cup of chicken noodle soup - it's like they knew I was feeling sick!
My dad got a house salad.
For the entrees, my mom chose the traditional ham and yams meal.
Dad took on the 35 oz chef's cut prime rib...yowza..
And I went for....wait for it.......1/2 a roasted duck with mashed potatoes.
Look at how beautiful and crispy it looks...mmmmm.
The funny thing is, I used to hate duck. In fact, I refused to eat duck, rabbit, deer, and basically anything else that I could find in my backyard. After a chance incident of trying duck off of a friend's plate in a restaurant, I was hooked. And since it's such a mess to cook in your own oven, I buy it at restaurants as much as possible.
And of course, there's always room for dessert...
Coffee and cream...
My dad's creme brulée..
As for me, I got the chocolate mountain....
Which is a cookie, topped with ice cream, topped with whipped cream, topped with hot fudge, topped with TWO cherries.
Isn't it beautiful?
Needless to say, having Easter dinner out was an excellent decision.
