American as Apple Pie

We had a lot of photos from Easter so I have broken them up into two videos.

Did you know that apples are not native to North America? I didn't but I recently saw a PBS (public broadcasting station) special on New England Native Americans during the time period the first English settlers where settling the area in the 1630s. Anyway the Pilgrims brought apples, and used to eat apple pies for breakfast. I totally agree that Apple Pie is a breakfast meal not just a desert. Of course their pies didn't have nearly as much sugar as a modern apple pie.



As many of you know I had a very tough time finding the supplies needed to die eggs last year while we lived in London. Apparently that is not a tradition they observe. I called around to several grocery stores and not one had white chicken eggs. I did find duck eggs which were a little larger then chicken eggs and more money but they did the trick. I don't recall how we came about the kit to die the eggs. I think Katie had it shipped over. The stupid things we do for kids.
