It's the annual Easter Parade here in NYC on the world famous 5th avenue...where the photographers will snap!
Although the parade ended early, before 2pm the cops were shutting it down (online it's posted till 4pm). The parade continued on the sidewalk.
My good friend Sherri comes by and makes a one pot meal, vegetables and salmon. She also talks about her creative journey, Paris, and food.
Her headpieces are sculptural works of art and she is still on a creative journey. https://www.legacybeauloni.com/

My recent visit to the grocery store (Bogopa), which had a sale on eggs, 5 dozen for $5. That was a bargain I didn't want to miss, but a bargain is not always a bargain, it could be a burden. What to do with cracked eggs you make something eggy.
My good friend Patricia comes by to share her Collard Green family recipe. She comes from a long line of great family chefs....and we had a few laughs as well.
