Easter egg huntOnly two more days til Easter. Am having an Orphan's Easter Dinner at my home with some fellow Canadian orphans and two others from the southern hemisphere. Pic is of Prince Matthew and his Easter egg hunt last year - isn't he too cute?!
And second pic is teacher Tami's Easter bunny bread - the talent keeps oozing out of that woman!
Tomorrow I am on the hunt for a fresh leg of lamb. There are two options and hopefully I didn't have to pre-order. Am going to Portobello Market and Sainsbury's to get final groceries. There was some debate this morning on what fasting entails for Good Friday, if any of you have any suggestions please post. Momma Dolce said she is skipping breakfast which I think doesn't count as fasting. Practicing Catholics please reply as I have no clue :)

Sweety Kriekbier
Kriekbier and Fruli are fresh, fruity, strawberry and raspberry beers – perfect for the approaching summer; although today is freezing. It comes out of the tap/bottle pink which is pleasant and is sweet but not overly sweet.

Again another girly drink – an alternative to the much loved shandy. It is not served in many places so look out for it, it is hard to find information about it online. I am partial to Fruli but tried Kriekbier this weekend and was just as nice. Fruli and Kriekbier are Belgian and when I find more about them I will post again. All I know is that you can get it in a few select places, it tastes great and is nice to hold in the land of yellow and brown beers.

The Volunteer pub at the edge of Regent’s Park serves it and in the midst of all the teams who come to drink pre and post game you can see many females and a few males enjoying the drink. The one in the pic was wrapped so sweetly in such nice paper and was served at the Ground Floor pub on Portobello Road.
