When I was a kid I would celebrate the holidays much more than I do now. I have a vivid memory of being in high school and putting together a big Easter basket for Shazi. It had all the usual candy items that Easter baskets normally have, but then I also put in make-up and nail polish to make it special for her. I was originally planning on putting together a big basket and include things that I would want in an Easter basket. Books, and perhaps new kitchen utensils, handmade truffles and other candies. But as I thought about putting this basket together, I thought about the fact that I don't really need anything, and I especially don't need to eat all those handmade candies!
Instead, I decided to put together this small Easter basket to commemorate the season. We don't normally do much for the holidays - any holiday really. We usually cook a good meal, and open a nice bottle of wine. Now that I think about it, that doesn't sound so bad!
Tomorrow I will be making Tom Douglas' Espresso Chili Glazed Ham. It is a fantastic dish that I have made quite a few times. I think that you will like it, and I will write all about that on another day!
Happy Easter!
