Happy Easter
I hope everybody had a good Easter. We had some family come over today and we cooked a big ham dinner. J’s mom brought tiramisu for dessert. Yum! (Recipe is listed in the comments)
The kids had fun searching for eggs this morning and were especially pleased to see that the Easter Bunny also left a little something for their nephew.
Everyone but me has passed out from extra sugar crashes and I am not far behind. This was one of the most laid back holidays we have had in a long time. It really felt good.

Mrs D it’s actually italian. Here’s the recipe I took from http://www.allrecipes.com:
Classic Tiramisu
Yields: 12 servings
INGREDIENTS:
6 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 (12 ounce) packages ladyfingers
1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
DIRECTIONS:
1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
2. Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
3. Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
4. To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.
