But please don't lick your screen - not a good idea ... so glad you restrained yourself. Easter was quiet - but probably what I needed.<br /><br />@ Debby - thanks ... and yes sometimes the simpler dishes are just as tasty.<br /><br />I'm sorting out - how you'd get my posts - I'll email you this one. I know - blogger and WP don't match - yet I can still get some WP posts, as too blogger ones - but others don't appear in Feedly any more: I'll be in touch.<br /><br />@ Sandra - I had friends who were better cooks than I was ... so left them to do things ... I'd do meals that, for me, were easy ... <br /><br />Cheers to you - we've still got a chilly east wind - but the sun has been out a bit more ... bliss - my Beautiful World post is up.

I know those Ukrainian eggs are quite stunning ... <br /><br />@ Annalisa - how fascinating to learn of your Ukrainian roots - and for you to have those memories. Your family must be so anxious of what's happening to the country and its people ... <br /><br />I'm glad the pasta dish entices! Sorry about your Sunday morning thoughts ... ?! Enjoy when you get a chance to make it ... <br /><br />@ Jess - I know - I so admire the talent of those craft egg decoraters ... <br /><br />I'm delighted that many commenters seem to have taken this pasta dish to heart - and are considering making it. Simple - but fresh and tasty ... <br /><br />Cheers to you all - at least we're warming up a little here.

I always use seasonal fruits and veg ... just used to that way of living ... but wish I grew them myself ... <br /><br />@ Deniz - I understand - asparagus is one of the veg that is loved or disliked. But the dish is perfect the way it is ... <br /><br />@ Ashok - thank you ...<br /><br />@ Joanne - I think the links send you off to that lady's site about Ukrainian eggs. I'd love to see it. Just have fun with the kids and their goodies around the garden. We're all 'elderly' this year! It is warming up = but still as you say a brisk chill in the wind.<br /><br />I understand Ray's meat and potatoes ... fine for him - but you can enjoy this! <br /><br />@ Sherry - I'd have Primavera any which way ... while I love a plate of asparagus with butter and perhaps a sprinkling of parmesan flakes.<br /><br />The Ukrainian eggs are so beautiful aren't they ... as kids we love pretty things.<br /><br />@ Nila - good to see you ... I love these delicately decorated eggs. Pasta like this is so simple and easy ... I must make some soon. Happy Easter to you too ... <br /><br />@ Joan - yes they are very pretty ... while we are lucky to have a few veg already - it's been cool ... but they are sprouting. I'm glad we don't have your snow or ice!! I know you love your garden - you'll be out there soon ... <br /><br />@ Sandra - yes it can have long sprouts, or there will be chunky pieces like the one above. Fresh from the plant is positively lovely!<br /><br />Thanks so much to you all for visiting - have very happy Easters. Being on the coast - we're in the sun and it is a little warmer out there - a little warmer and I so love this time of year. <br />Cheers to everyone - Hilary<br /><br /><br />Hilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
