So up I went to give them their Easter eggs and Cherry Ripes - all of which they tackled immediately - no prompting required. They won't last the afternoon...the chocolates, that is! After a mug of coffee and a chat with the adults I'm now back home again.<br /><br />Yes! You heard correctly! Ice cream is on my menu, too! I always keep a good supply in my freezer.<br /><br />Lashings of butter is the only way to go...none of that margarine junk for me! But I do like raspberry jam on my buns, too! (Hot Cross buns, that is)!!! Yum! I am so looking forward to Sunday breakfast!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Easter, Charlie...and the same goes to your Mum! :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-45284303541155747602017-04-14T15:41:59.570-07:002017-04-14T15:41:59.570-07:00Crikey Lee ......

I always get some for my birthday but now I can tell Mum I've gotta have some for Easter too, aye?? Thanks Lee ..... I knew I liked you a lot!!!!! Mum's like you ..... she gets all sentimental about things like Easter and Christmas and all those other times that I know nothing about. She likes to go to church at Easter but always in a different church for some reason or other. This year WE (yes she took me) popped in to a service in a church in Newtown, Sydney which was situated in a cemetery. She just bowls in with me. Don't know if I'm allowed but so far I've never been kicked out. We do sit up the back. She's a bit like you with the forgetting thing though. We went out for Dinner on Good Friday to a nice little Indian restaurant and as Mum was downing her Lamb Rogan Josh she remembered she shouldn't be eating it. Didn't stop her finishing it off. Its always hot cross buns on Friday for her and Easter eggs on Sunday but she forgot the buns this friday so she'll probably catch up on those at some stage or another and only ever from a bakery and only ever at Easter. She LOVES them!! You should see the amount of butter she puts on them. It always runs down her chin. Not a pretty sight I might add. No jam and cream for her. Have a great Easter. I do hope you get to share it with the little ones. We are away this Easter so we are going to miss the Grandkids egg hunt. It's such a joy to watch the kids, aye??

It always amazes me when I see them appear in the supermarkets as soon as Christmas has passed. It seems pretty ridiculous to me.<br /><br />I hope you have a very enjoyable Easter with your loved ones. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-53261607308826191972017-04-14T14:40:10.511-07:002017-04-14T14:40:10.511-07:00Hey Delores...I don't have any grandkids, nor ...Hey Delores...I don't have any grandkids, nor will I be having any visitors (that I'm aware of)...and as my two furry rascals don't eat chocolate...it's all for me (she says rubbing her hands together)!!! As I wrote, I probably will see my landlords' grandkids somewhere along the way over the weekend, so if I do, I've got some to give to them. :)<br /><br />I hope you have a lovely Easter with your family. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-8279432844489371712017-04-14T14:37:38.902-07:002017-04-14T14:37:38.902-07:00If you ever had a coconut fall on your head you wo...If you ever had a coconut fall on your head you wouldn't think it very funny, Andrew! :) I welcomed the Cook Islanders to help themselves to as many coconuts as they wanted. I never paid for anyone to gather them, and I doubt the owners of the property ever did, either.<br /><br />Once, when I was working at Ramada Reef Resort at Palm Cove, north of Cairns, some of my co-workers and I saw an idiot (a tourist who knew no better!) throwing a brick or a large rock up at some coconuts trying to knock one or more down!! We went across to him and told him to wake up to himself...he was either going to kill himself by a falling brick or coconut, or both! His missile finally got stuck up in one of the bunches, and I think the fire brigade ended up coming out (the council had been rung) to remove the brick/rock and the coconuts!<br /><br />Nope...no $50 notes for the kids. They're my landlords' grandkids, not mine! My landlords' home is up the other end of this property upon which my cabin sits...this is a 3 acre block of land...my cabin is down the other end. Somewhere along the weekend I will, no doubt, see the little kids...so I'll be ready to share some of my chocolate stocks...but never $50 bills; I have none of those spare to share!! <br /><br />It was always the Easter Bird when I was a child (and for other of my era, too). My brother and I would build nests in hats and that's where the Easter Bird would deposit our Easter eggs. (I think it makes more sense, anyway! lol)<br /><br />I hope your Easter is an an enjoyable one. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-24222940305755639612017-04-14T13:21:37.221-07:002017-04-14T13:21:37.221-07:00Darn - wish I had seen your vegan recipes before g...Darn - wish I had seen your vegan recipes before getting all the stuff in to make other things! <br />I think it's a bit of a shame getting hot cross buns all year.

NO!!!! Hot cross buns are for Good Friday, Easter eggs are for Sunday. Plus, we had to have fish for dinner, salmon. At times it has been tuna mornay, smoked cod, fresh Blue Grenadier, crumbed fish from the supermarket and even fish fingers. It is a cultural thing for him, but of course it has a religious base. <br /><br />Great to hear you have chocolate to share with the calling kiddies. They will appreciate it. Of course later, they will appreciate $50 notes better. <br /><br />Didn't the Cook Islanders save the cost of employing a nutter? Employing someone, as happens in Queensland, to remove the coconuts from your trees so you don't receive a death causing blow to the head by a falling coconut amuses me.
