Happy Easter to all.

Today is DH's birthday - we're being taken to some fancy restaurant in
St. Michaels, MD - I think - since it has been snowing all night and
this morning. Crazy.

Wish him Happy Birthday for me Dora! Hope you enjoy your meal...

Happy Easter back - this cook is being wined and dined with the family
for brunch after church tomorrow at The Beach House in Dana Point
(CA), one of my faves. They do a lobster bisque to die for!

SNOW? I hope it doesn't make it this far north! They said the storm
would head out to sea. We are headed to boston to see bunches of
relatives who don't drive at night or in bad weather. Sis is doing
the cooking. This is a good thing.

Yes, the snow finally turned to rain and ended about noon, drifting off
to sea. We made it to the restaurant - absolutely fabulous and a real
birthday treat for DH. The place is called 208 Talbot, if anyone's in
the area.

Have a great brunch, Terry - I can easily die for lobster bisque, too.

Many thanks for the recipe, carefully saved since it sounds delicious.

Rained all night here, and got pretty chilly.
