Spring Has Sprung Apron Giveaway Contest
Apron Giveway
http://www.apronique.com/
Spring has sprung, and cooking wears a whole new look. The dark, cold, dreary days of Thanksgiving and Christmas cooking give way to breezy, sunny patios, parks, and decks. Kitchen aromas wisp through open, airy windows on Spring afternoons.
To celebrate upcoming events and the gift giving and entertainment that come with them, we are sponsoring an apron giveaway contest. We will give away three of our aprons offered at www.apronique.com. Mother's Day, Father's Day, and the 4th of July are interspersed with bridal showers, and weddings. Win an apron, and hostess in style, or present a unique gift to a favorite cook.
Share with those you love! Use your blog or e-mail friends and tell them to join the fun. Winners will be chosen randomly.

Paris Toile in Black Reversible Apron
This apron is very limited, and there will be no more made in this style.
Black cotton toile on white provides the inspiration for this reversible bib apron in the Verandah Collection. Always a classic, the toile scene is reminiscent of 17th century Paris. The top of the front of this apron is made from stain repellant black polyester/cotton twill, and well able to withstand the occasional spills and splashes. White polyester/cotton broadcloth is the fabric choice for the 36" waist sashes and neckties. The reverse side of this apron is available in a black white stripe, or solid black--our choice. Machine wash in cold water, line dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Carrot Cake Easter Bunny Tradition
For Easter dinner, Mom always made a traditional carrot cake in the shape of an Easter bunny. After she passed away thirteen years ago, that duty became mine. Just as my children loved the "bunny cake," so do my two granddaughters now.
Many years ago, while visiting friends in Texas, I enjoyed a fruit salad made with instant vanilla pudding in the "juice." (It is great when we can have fresh strawberries in the salad.) It is now a tradition for our family holidays. Mom's deviled eggs were amazing, and I have that assignment for family gatherings. The secret? (Sshhh) A little sugar, of course! And absolutely Miracle Whip! I've always identified with the commercial of the poor folks who made up the greatest sandwich, then freaked out when they realized they were out of Miracle Whip.
The last surviving matriarch of our family is my husband's mother, Ruby. She is 86 years old. She raised five sons, and tragically lost two of them--one when he was only 24 years old, and the other was not yet 50 years old. She is an amazing cook, but seldom cooks these days. No one will ever match her chicken and dumplings. She enjoyed Easter dinner with us.
Uncle Steve usually joins us for holiday meals also--and no, the nice china does not appear on the table. Our lifestyle demands the disposable dinnerware!
The usual outdoor egg hunt was done inside this time because of the nasty outdoors weather. Granddaughters still enjoyed finding the eggs that were hid by Aunt Heather.
I posed with my special "Easter eggs" all dressed up in their Easter finest!
