I have a confession to make. I just threw away all of my kids' Easter candy. Jelly beans, chocolate eggs, lollipops, even - gasp! - the last chocolate bunny. I was getting sort of sick of seeing it on the counter, and they haven't asked for any in a week now. Naturally, that means they will wake up wanting some and there will be a Meltdown Heard Around The World when they reaffirm what a Mean Mommy I really am. Brace yourselves.

I was all excited about making dinner tonight and blogging it, but (confession #2) it just didn't turn out that great. We were in Charleston last weekend for a wedding, and popped into our favorite butcher shop to pick up some of their amazing freshly made ravioli. I snagged the last of the mushroom ravioli and we had it tonight with a pea and prosciutto sauce. Meh. The combination was not that great. The mushrooms in the ravioli are so hearty and meaty that they really could have used a much more substantial sauce, and the prosciutto I picked up was not great quality - too much salt, too little flavor. All in all a bit of a disappointment. Well, now we know. (Did the fact that it wasn't that great stop me from eating every single last bite on my plate? No. Of course not.)

Happy Cinco de Mayo tomorrow! Share your recipes and meals!!
