We're having an email-arranged Easter brunch with cousins and friends. Plus an Easter egg hunt for a bunch of teenagers.
Yes, that unpredictable, quixotic, sometimes-vexing-and-often-times-mute 13-17 year-old demographic. I'm very happy that they are not too old to do this.
They are stuffed with, among other things, micro-origami paper, some fluffy chickies, ceramic Japanese bunnies (they're wearing kimono!) mini-Robin's eggs, and Japanese soda candy--a fun, fizzy hard candy that comes in melon, grape and an undefined "soda" flavor. American-Asian at its finest.

And of course, we have to eat. What I love about eating with the ohana is that we bring what we like, and it always ends up well-balanced and just plain ono.
Ham and lamb (but no Spam)
Hot cross buns, after all, it's Easter!
Muffins du jour: Sour cream blueberry, a new strawberry muffin (recipe from People Magazine, of all places) and maybe a smoked salmon/gorgonzola (from a new foodie online friend)
My husband's scones
Quiche--ingredient combo TBD
Inari sushi--because you always need a little rice. Thank you Aunty!!
Fresh mango salsa and something that goes with it
Vegetables--Whatever lovely greens my cousin comes up with
Fresh fruit--strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and tangerines, Asian pear and even a starfruit!
Eat Well. Be Well. Celebrate Spring!
