Okay, here it is, the menu from this year’s Duck Day extravaganza.

My strawberry chocolate chip bread recipe
Those of you who follow me on various social media may have seen me mention over the weekend I was baking strawberry bread. A few asked for the recipe. Ask and ye shall receive!

Passover pickled carrots
