Hoo! Are you all done with your taxes or is it going to be down to the wire until Monday for you? What joy! I'll be drowning my sorrows in the first picnic of 2011 tomorrow. That should help. I'm also going to be on the hunt for unstamped eggs to blow out for Easter egg dying. Don't these look beautiful?

Elsewhere,

I am a sucker for banana cake. It makes me weak in the knees every time. This one with Nutella frosting looks pretty irresistible.

Hee. A little bun moment (via the blue hour).

I never met a pickle I didn't love. Cathy's deviled eggs with pickled Swiss chard stems sound delicious.

Ever wonder what the ladies at the Canal House eat for lunch every day? Wonder no more.

You could have knocked me over with a feather if you'd told me as a child that I'd one day miss eating lima beans. But the truth is, I do. Especially when I see something like Delaware creamed succotash.

I wish I could hang this edible poster in my kitchen and in my office (via Clotilde).

And finally, this new piece by Gabrielle Hamilton about her mother-in-law (it's not in the book!) just about broke my heart.

Have a good weekend, lovelies.
