Happy Easter!

My Easter was very nice. My new friend here in California, Ellen, invited me to have Easter with her family: husband, son and a bunch of water polo guys he plays with in college.  Very nice guys.  And she went all out with Easter centerpieces made of little boxes of grass (really, catnip), and kumquats stuck on sticks like Easter eggs.  Very cute, and a delicious meal: standing rib roast, mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted vegetables, cardamon rolls, Yorkshire pudding (which I'd never had before, or even knew what it was), wine, key lime pie, apple tarts. 

She sent me home with a nice plateful, and a bone for Benji.
