Hi Dad. I know it’s early in the morning and you’re reading the blog. I posted this extra early just so that it would be here as soon as you logged on. Surprise!
cast iron French oven, Le Creuset
I know you’re going to enjoy putting your new Le Creuset to good use in your new kitchen!
Happy Birthday Dad!

Ah…Monday morning. I’m feeling a bit jealous of those people who have an extra day off today!
This weekend I learned that when my mom was growing up in Italy, Easter Monday – la Pasquetta – was a day for packing up the Easter Sunday leftovers and taking them to a space al fresco (outdoors) to have a picnic with family and friends.
I think Lorea Sinclaire’s Tiffin lunch kit would be perfect for a beautiful Easter Monday picnic, don’t you? Mind you – the way Italians tend to feast, we would need quite a few of these!

I would love to continue this tradition but work calls instead. How about you? Do you have the day off today? What are your plans?
p.s. I can’t believe I didn’t know about this Italian tradition before yesterday.
It’s my oldest nephew’s birthday day. He’s three and he loves (loves, loves, loves) trains…especially Percy…
Percy is the Number 6 green engine. He’s one of Thomas’ friends.
Happy Birthday Duke!
p.s. I don’t have kids but it’s amazing how much I’ve learned about Thomas and Friends over the past year from my now three year old nephew!
