The first long weekend of Spring and it was beautiful weather! After the snow and frost and cold earlier this week, it was a welcome respite. Good Friday (in France, it's Holy Friday, in Romania, Great Friday, in parts of Mexico, Friday of Sorrows, etc.), was overcast and was a perfect day to sleep in and have a lazy day doing not much to recuperate from the week and get rested for the remaining weekend's craziness.

I had a quick visit into Toronto on Saturday to see the fam-damily, and then spent Saturday night making dessert for Sunday lunch with CC's family.

Table Setting for lunch
|
There were ten of us for lunch. CC bought a Quiche Lorraine (named after the Lorraine region of France) and we served it with oven roasted asparagus, mustard beans, an olive and bacon aperitif cake and a big green salad. For afters, we had chocolate Creme Brûlée. Mmmmmm!

CC bought lots of flowers and did some quite beautiful arrangements. The lunch was a big success - everyone enjoyed the food and there was lots of laughter. Back to work tomorrow. Ugh.
