Dinner With Glowria And Xmaskatie.
Friday afternoon, Xmaskatie showed up
since she was going to be house- and Dixie-sitting while
Mr. Hawthorne and I went off on Saturday to visit
our respective Mommies.
And I fixed a special dinner Friday night
for her and Glowria -
sauteed scallops on a bed of risotto
with parmesan crisps, pesto,
and caramelized onions.
I've posted about this recipe before,
but it bears repeating since it's so good.
Then I started on the risotto.
and formed a neat, clean shape
on the plate.
Send Me The Money.
What luck!
Another email.
My blessings continue to flow freely.
Now, I just need to send them that $500,000.
Where's my checkbook?

Easter Bunnies.
Mr. Hawthorne and I drove back home today
and passed by this yard again.
Poor little bunnies.
They were all little pools
of deflated plastic.
Mr. Hawthorne wouldn't stop
so I could get the after picture.
I'm happy I got the before picture.
And, Kathy,
the gauntlet is down.
I see your porn tubes
and raise you deflated pools of bunnies.

'cause Nothing Celebrates The Resurrection Like Inflatable Bunnies.
Some of my regular readers may remember
this post
from the Hawthornes' December trip to Danville.
On Highway 86, there's a yard
which is decorated to the teeth
for every season.
Here it is for Christmas:
Mama Hawthorne,
click to enlarge
to take in the full glory of the display.
And yesterday,when Mr. Hawthorne and I drove by,
I made him stop so I could get some pictures
of their Easter display.

I wonder where this stuff is stored the rest of the year.
Because these people don't miss a holiday.
I'm guessing they have a lot of time on their hands.
Me?
I'm happy if I get the Christmas tree decorated by Christmas Eve
and the front porch lights down by Easter.
