Easter 2015

I celebrated Holy Week in Spain last year,

while I was walking the Camino

and the whole concept of Holy Week 

has been changed forever.

As I was re-reading my blog posts from that time,

I was reminded that on Maundy Thursday last year,

I had a vivid drug induced dream

in which I was served chocolate covered olives 

by Debbie Reynolds.

(I didn't take drugs often on the Camino - 

besides Ibuprofen which everyone took so often 

it was simply considered 'Vitamin I'),

but the 3 times I did take something for overwhelming pain,

it was very effective!

I can totally seee why people get hooked!

Anyway, I continued to be intrigued 

by the idea of olives, 

coated with chocolate...

you know where this is going, right?

Let me just say, 

If I decide to go into the business of creating

handcrafted chocolate olives,

( and look for them to come to a dinner party near you soon!)

I will obviously take more care during the process 

so that presentation is more appealing.

 But the taste?!

It doesn't get better!

Debbie really knew what she was doing!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I admit it was a slippery slope...

other chocolate made its way into the house this weekend too.

Come on - 

you know the ears are the best part!

Now if only I could get back into the Camino routine of walking 15 miles every day, 

maybe I could eat chocolate every day again!

~~~~~~~~~~~

One food group, however, is on its way out...

Peep season is over for 2015.

There are still 'models' waiting in the wings - 

well, the freezer - 

in case inspiration strikes before next Lent,

but this is the last 'official' Peep Show for this year.

Hope you're having a Holy Easter - 

with just the right amount of sweetness!
