It’s Rosie’s 2nd birthday today. I can’t believe Rosie’s the same age that Lizzie was when we brought her home from the hospital. She still seems like such a baby, and Lizzie seemed liked such a big girl back then.
What to do for a child on her birthday when she’s on a restricted diet? A gelatin “cake”!
Happy Birthday Rosie!
After the cake, we decided to crack open our first jar of pickled eggs. This year, we managed to wait 24 hours. Last year we couldn’t stand it and tried them on the first day. They turned out great.
For me, it wouldn’t be Easter without pickled eggs and beet and horseradish relish.
One jar down, another one to go!
