Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Originally uploaded by jlwilley.

I suppose someone will think that it isn't "politically correct" for a mayor to wish his community "Happy Easter!" I'm going to do it anyway.

So, enjoy your Easter baskets filled with jelly beans and Peeps. Enjoy your back yard egg hunts. My nephews hunt faster if they know there's cold hard cash in their eggs. Candy just doesn't cut it for them any more.

Enjoy your church services, your gatherings and dinners with your families and friends. My Mom in Batavia will be serving a spiraled ham and her famous cheese potatoes. Her house will be full of people, and I'm sure the topic of what's happening in Elburn will come up more than once.

You can add 12 oz. of sour cream to the Cracker Barrel recipe for cheese potatoes. Then top with 1.5 cups of crushed corn flakes to recreate Mom's Easter potato dish. A good magician never reveals his secrets, but bloggers pretty much "blab" about everything. Sorry, Mom!

Oh, and one last thing, go easy biting into those chocolate bunnies! Ouch!
