Kissesâ€¦ I miss it; we donâ€™t have them in my neck of the woods. It was too hot to hide chocolates in my motherâ€™s garden for the Easter hunt. The kids were mustered and were handed bags full of chocolates. My 6 year old daughter was very upset.

Happy Easter to everyone!

Learned something here over the Easter weekend: Australia’s got a shortage of white eggs! The reason being (daw) is they have replaced the white egg laying hens with brown layers (as they are more prolific), to the point that all of a sudden, no white eggs. So come Easter (Greek & Christian), there are hardly any real white eggs to be painted….

Zena, I think Italians and others from the mediterranean area also traditionally have spring lamb for Easter… it makes sense as that was the season that the lamb were born… nice and tender and flavorful before they become mutton a year later.

Zena,

yes we had lamb… but my husband’s family is Greek, and it has been their tradition to have lamb during Easter.

Ooooowww the chocolates look so inviting!! Prepared Chicken Curry with all the side-condiments (in crystal mini bowls): grilled eggplant,sliced boiled eggs,raisins,chopped nuts,fried onion rings,and mango chutney. We also had tilapia wrapped in pechay with coco milk. We had watermelon shake with this. Simple- but my in-laws who came over loved it!! Not the usual ham or lamb…but proved interesting to my visitors. Happy Easter everyone!!
