Easter Day

We had a big day around The Acre on Easter morning. We had the family over and put out a spread. We love to cook, and folks love to eat, so it all works out well.

Smoked Turkey

Corn Pudding

Real Mac N Cheese, not storebought with cheese sprinkled on top

We finally hit on how to boil fresh eggs. Store bought eggs are easy to boil, but fresh eggs have a tough membrane inside the egg that makes boiling and peeling a task. We found this idea on a Facebook hippie sight, and it works like a charm. Lots of boiled eggs in our future now.

Boil then dunk in an ice bath

Shake the Mason jar, the shell falls right off

Giggity

And on an egg related note, the chirruns hunted Easter eggs most of the afternoon.

And when they checked the hen house, they found "real" eggs.

And hen houses and real eggs made chirruns think about baby chicks...

And there was some shenanigans with Jake's fire suit. Little Henry looked like a Minion dressed up in hose yanker gear.

And we had a little bit of mugging for the camera.

All and all, it was a great day, everyone got their belly full and the chirruns seemed to be worn out, so we hope everyone slept well Sunday night. We know we did.
