Throw a great block party for Labor Day

Posted by Stonehouse Team on Aug 30, 2011 in Party Invitations

In our on-the-go lives, we’re often too busy to get to know our neighbors. Looking to have fun way to cap off a long summer? Consider throwing a block party. It’s a great way to get to know your neighbors and have some fun cooking up delicious grub.

Throwing a block party ranges from the simple ( a few families and putting up those “caution, children at play” signs) to the complex (permits required for street closure). Here’s a few links with information to get you started:

Great ideas for leftover hardboiled Easter eggs

As I begin stocking up on supplies for the annual eggapalooza my kids insist on creating, I lament the waste. But do I dare ingest an egg just recently ensconced in a tree branch or nestled under a Saguaro? (yep- I live in AZ).  Why not?  As long as the eggs are refrigerated until the last possible moment of the egg hunt and are repossessed shortly afterward (hint, use lots of jelly beans in the Easter basket  to up the distraction factor!) then go for it!  Little Johnny may even enjoy whipping your Easter eggs into a yummy egg salad or a stir fry – yes I said STIR FRY! Here are some basic ideas:

1. Egg Salad Sandwich

2. Add to leafy greens or pasta salads

3. Deviled Eggs

4. In a Breakfast Burrito

5. In a Stir-fry or fried rice
