Birthdays and Vacations and Passover

April is a busy, busy, busy month.  So of course, first comes Passover.  Eight days of a special diet (no bread, no yeast, no corn, no corn syrup).  Eight days is a long time.

Then we traveled to Chicago over April vacation.  We had a great time, but it is always nice to return home.  We returned home on Sunday and then it was Naomi's birthday on Wednesday.  Her party is tomorrow, Saturday.  Then on Sunday, we celebrate Mark's birthday (party to be had at a later date).

And of course, the home construction project.  They guys did a great job while we were away, and so much has been accomplished.  The hard wood floors have been finished.  The granite counter tops have been installed.  The back steps are nearly complete.  Rumor is that they will be done by Memorial Day, but I might have a usable kitchen by Mother's Day.  I won't be able to stock my kitchen, but if I have an oven, WATCH OUT WORLD.

Oh the things I would make:

Roast Chicken
BBQ Chicken/Tofu
Challah
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Muffins
Lemon Scones
Brownies
(Just to name a few).
