I have been feeling quite homesick this past week. With Easter coming up, being my all time favorite holiday. It really is the best. The food. The colors. The pretty, new dresses and hats, and Easter egg hunts. I remember waking up on Easter Sunday, and finding my Easter basket, full with chocolate bunnies and yellow peeps. Oh, man peeps. Pop a whole one in your mouth and feel the sugar melt and the marshmallow go all gooey. Yeah, I miss peeps. The UK doesn’t have peeps, or bags and bags of jelly beans and you don’t find aisles of pretty green and pink Easter grass for the baskets. There is also an absence of the thin boxes of egg dye kits and no “He is Risen” signs.
With all this homesickness blues, I decided to make some “feel good” food. Some southern comfort to help get me through, if you will. A yummy, from a box, red velvet cake, complete with cream cheese icing. I’m not as good as decorating cakes as my mama, but I try.
MMMMM
I hope you all have a great Easter holiday, and that you eat lots of yummy food and visit with your family.
From Britain, with love.
