This year March is not playing its proper role. Oh, yes, it roared in like a Lion but in most of the country, we have yet to see the Lamb. Baa. Baa. Baa.

Our recipe choice this week, Lemon-Steamed Spinach, will put a little Spring in your step even if it has not yet come knocking at your door. It could be a perfect and healthy side dish for your holiday or dinner table.
Unfortunately, Dear Readers, you will have to go here to see how my FFWD colleagues prepared this tasty leaf. My kitchen was successfully “loaded and locked” several days ago in preparation for my move to Colorado.
Improvisation is something I do quite easily. For a neighborhood gathering on Palm Sunday I was able to bake my holiday ham in my oven’s broiler pan and glaze it with maple syrup (the real stuff – an entire jug) and it was delicious. For the past several days I’ve been defrosting a vacuum-packed serving of Trader Joe’s oatmeal on a paper plate, topping it with a sliced banana or dried dates. It worked. But I just could not figure out how to zest a lemon and wash and steam spinach without the proper equipment.
Happy Passover. Happy Easter. Happy Springtime.

No, March came in like a lamb and went out like a lion. Bad, bad March 🙂
How exciting, love the photos. Have a happy holiday.
Safe travels! Love the photos of the moving van and your captions. 🙂
Good luck with the move and cannot wait to see what the new kitchen looks like!!
Although sad…….I liked it.
I liked your blog!
The moving truck pictures were great! You are so creative!
I have never seen anyone do that!
Sad…… 🙁
Miss ya!
Memories of a lifetime!
I wonder if you will find spring in Colorado.
I’m so glad for you that the move is completed and you became an honorary Jew in the process without even knowing it. Happy Easter Mary. Spring is definitely the right season for a move.
Have a safe trip Mary and Happy Easter.
Yay – the move is over :))) Have a wonderful Easter Mary and hey, I am waiting for your Paris questions…. 😉
Yes, now it’s finally time to plan Paris, Mardi. Bientôt. Bientôt. J’ai des questions.
come on Mary, you are supposed to keep your lemon zester in your backpack….
see you in Colorado. Drive safely.
ciao, Donna
Mary, I just backtracked to last week’s comment and noticed your remark about the Raspberry
Enlightenment being in my cupboard. I had never heard of it until Tricia insisted we cut
the coupons on their brochure. The result was a free 9.5 oz. jar. Being an X-New Yorker, I could not resist the bargain. Now I must figure out what to do with the rest of it.
Thanks for the update, Nana.
I hope the move goes well! Once you’re unpacked, this will be a very simple catch up recipe for you, and delicious, too.
Happy Easter Mary! Good luck with the move to Colorado.
Happy Passover & Happy Easter Mary! Those Henderson streets look so different from the ones in Aspen. Best wishes with your move.
We’ll be in Vegas next week, love both the towns…

LL – I have so enjoyed your two Posts on LV especially the French Restaurants Post. You are in for a treat this trip. The restaurants are more fabulous than ever. I will be looking forward to your LV Post.
Hi Mary! I hope your move goes smoothly. Let us know when you are safely settled in Colorado. This spinach was so easy, you don’t even have to unpack much to make it. Hope you have a lovely Easter. Take care!
Hope all is going well with the move! This is one you WILL want to make when you get your kitchen running again. Very easy and very delicious. Happy Easter!
