Happy Easter . . . UPDATED w/ Picture
I’m sitting here, watching Ina Garten cook up some provençal dishes, so I thought I’d throw out a quick “Happy Easter,” complete with one of my favorite images from the “Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me” bunny . . .
In a few minutes, I’m off to Bucky and Marie’s for Easter dinner. Brandy and Megan will be there, as will Donna and Robin, Javier, and Bucky’s sister, Sandra. It should be delicioso! I’m taking my lemon Italian buttercream cake, decorated with fresh-picked pansies . . . cause, well, obviously, I’m gay . . . and also some ambrosia, as I bought a huge bag of oranges. The hostess gift? Brown-sugar chewies . . . they can choose to share or not.
Happy Bunny Day, everyone . . .
Turns out, the hostesses chose NOT to share . . . good for them! Bucky’s sister Sandra was awesome. LOVED her . . . so much fun, and she had the pretties mini-schnauz, Miss Phoebe. I thought Miss Sofie would so approve, but then I realized that mini-schanuz’s must have a dominance thing when other dogs human-canines are around — Miss Phoebe was just like Miss Sophie in trying to point out how these other dogs human-canines, regardless of size, need to get in line and recognize.
Marie’s ham was a delicious, Megan’s broccoli casserole was just yummy, and Donna’s salad made me so happy . . . and to walk in the door greeted with a mimosa . . . it was all just lovely. I couldn’t have asked for a better Easter dinner. And the fact that we sat around from 1:30 - 7:30 chatting and enjoying each other’s company and food — well, that’s just proof positive that we had the perfect day.
Pictures will follow soon from Lil’ Bucky . . . and here’s the cake . . .
I wish I had gotten a picture of it after we cut it. With the lemon curd and buttercream between the layers, it was really pretty. Oh well . . .

Sofie said:
(Clearing throat and gaining strength…shouting) DEMERIT!!!! Despite the fact that others were in the house during my inattendance, they should never be referred to as “dogs.” How ancient. We prefer the more refined “human-canine” term, please and thank you. I shall remind you yet once more when I see you next. And, the cake is a lovely piece of art.
Will said:
Oh, dear, so sorry Miss Sofie. I have already returned to the post to correct it. Lil Bucky was just saying how much more advanced some “dogs” (her word) are than us, and I corrected her yesterday and said that they’re “human-canines,” and that I guessed it was the “canine” part that made them so advanced, as we human have so many problems. I stand corrected, though, for my bad writing …
