When I walk to the subway every morning I pass a building whose tenant has created little vignettes in each window. Mostly dramatic floral arrangements, but last week one window got changed into a little passover diorama. There were little dolls sitting around around a little table with a matzoh fabric cloth. Everyday one more doll would fall off the side . We surmised that the bitter herbs were getting the better of them. I’m vacationing in NYC for a couple weeks.

We had turkey--my all time favorite. Peeps? Oh, they're so gross. I like coconut cake on Easter, or even just yellow cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. Easter candy? I like the cream-filled chocolate eggs here in Belgium... And while I'm a girl who loves deep red, khaki, and earthy greens, I'm all about pastels in the spring. Bring on the pink!

Barbeque brisket with a really hot BBQ rub, and then a hot sauce painted on for the last hour of baking. It was FABULOUS. And Kosher. Because, that's right! We're Jewish! Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year. Easter Monday when everyone goes back to work and the candy gets marked down to 50% off. Unlike Christmas, nobody is in the stores so you can really score. And pesach is almost over! It's all good. We had brisket for dinner. Barbeque brisket with a really hot BBQ rub, and then a hot sauce painted on for the last hour of baking. It was FABULOUS.
