The second biggest event this month was Easter!! So Happy Belated Easter to all the Christians and Easter Bunny Believers! We were back at my parents in no time- yet again fixing food! I was super disappointed this year when I went to Cold Storage and they had run out of Easter buny chocolates and eggs and Peeps!!! WTF seriously? You gonna pull that shit a day before Easter?! Unfortunately, I had no one else to run to at the last minute and had to do without easter snacks :( However, Easter lunch turned out swell! I started making bacon spinach quiches the night before and hot crossed buns! With pretty much no sleep, I continued marketing in the morning roasting a lamb leg, making deviled eggs, peeling shrimp, fixing spring salad, asparagus, mashed potatoes, and made freaking amazing key lime pie!
Easter feast!!
My pastry!
First hot crossed buns ive ever baked by myself!! Turned out pretty nice!
We had the whole family over and I think they quite enjoyed it! Though they said the Key lime pie was too sour, I need to be reminded once in awhile not to spring surprises on Singaporeans. Stick to cheesecake, chiffon cakes and cocktail jelly. I had wonderful time anyway! We even dug out an old box of photo albums from the store room which was a big hit!! Everyone enjoyed reminiscing over the big hair, big glasses and retro pants! hahaha good memories are the best ways to make new good memories!

Everyone has been so busy with the election campign this year that they leave super early in the morning and come home late at night. So this year I decided to cook a feast for mom's birthday instead. With a lot of Henrik's help going to the market and cutting vegetabes, I made: crab cake appetizers, cheesy biscuits, roast pork, salad with honey mustard dressing, mshed potaoes and gravy! I was particularly proud of myself with the crabcakes and biscuits! Those will permanently be on my favorite recipe list!
