It's Tea time Tuesday
And today we are enjoying the beautiful weather in the garden.And planning for Good Friday and Easter dinner.
Our family always gets together for Good Friday with crawfish, food and an Easter hunt for the kids. By special request I am making Mom's lemon bars
Heat oven to 350F and line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper. Whisk together 2 1/2 cups of flour (300g) with the powdered sugar and salt, then pour in the melted butter and mix until combined. You can also do this using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. If you'd like a dash of vanilla can be added in with the butter at this step. Sprinkle the dough into your lined pan and press down into a flat layer. Bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until a light golden color. While the crust is baking add the sugar to a food processor and add the zest of three lemons. Pulse until the zest is fully incorporated and sugar is a light yellow color. If you don't have a processor just mince the zest and mix with the sugar in a bag or bowl. Add the sugar and remaining half cup of flour to a large bowl and mix well. You can sift together however and zesty sugar bits will need to get dumped out of the sifter as they might clog things up and not go through. Pour in the lemon juice and add the eggs then mix very well until completely combined. Pour the filling onto the warm crust then transfer to oven and bake for about 25 minutes, turning halfway through the bake. Remove from oven and allow to cool for an hour before chilling in the refrigerator for two hours. Dust with powdered sugar and cut into bars using a clean, sharp, damp knife. Clean and re-wet the knife

The Bunny's Last Hop!Lindsay Zimmer is hopping into Easter with a full catering schedule and a garden party to remember. The annual Moon’s Landing Easter Egg Hunt is the event of the season, drawing crowds eager to find the grand prize—a rare golden egg hidden somewhere deep in the woods. But the fun turns deadly when Lindsay stumbles upon a shocking sight near the serving table: a man dressed in a bunny suit, drowned in a pot of her signature carrot soup!
The victim was well-known in town—and not exactly well-loved. Rumors swirl that he was trying to steal the golden egg before someone put an end to his plans. But if the prize is still with him, that means the murderer was interrupted… and could still be nearby.
With suspects multiplying like rabbits and whispers of old grudges stirring up fresh trouble, Lindsay must sift through a tangled web of motives, mischief, and missing alibis. Can she crack the case before the killer slips away? Or will she be the next one in hot water?
