The good news: We scored tickets to the White House egg roll
The bad news: At 7 am, thousands of people were waiting to get in
Daughter actually rolled an egg
And hunted for eggs
And dyed an egg
And hula hooped
It was a great time. Thanks, Michelle Obama! And thanks to D.C. Central Kitchen for hard-boiling all those eggs.

We are engaging the concerns of a hungry planet--slowly--right here in our kitchen garden in the District of Columbia, about a mile from the White House.
What's in your turkey? We killed and butchered more than 80 birds on the farm of Mike and Michelle Klein in Prince George's County. Thankfully, Michelle did the gutting. Unfortunately, Mike bought his turkey chicks earlier than usual and they did not stop growing. Our prize for helping was a carcass that weighed nearly 40 pounds. It barely fit in the oven. Here, Mike is subjecting a slaughtered bird to the "magic fingers," a machine with a nubby, rotating barrel that removes most of the feathers.

When I was busy making Easter lunch for 22, I thought of all those eggs being boiled up, and what a toil that was … lovely to see so many children enjoying a garden which normally looks so austere, change in the air that welcomes children has to be a good place to begin
Thanks for sharing
