Happy Easter MM! Yes, I remember the sugar eggs and the goodies inside. I knew it was just hardened colored sugar and can only eat a part of it. I organized an easter egg hunt once in my home when I was 11 or 12. I colored the eggs and baked cookies. I remember being annoyed when my tita would tell the other kids where I hid the eggs :-)

Happy Easter to you, Mrs. MM, and the Kid.

I saw the same Easter bits at SM Southmall. But I still prefer those good old sugar eggs. We had one each when we were kids and they had our names on them so no fighting. Same with the golden eggs my dad used to prepare. Everyone gets a prize but you had to look fo the one with your name, if you find one that isn’t yours, you had to keep quiet. It was fun watching my other siblings go bonkers trying to find theirs.

When we were growing up, my mother taught us siblings & our friends how to make sugar eggs which we would fill with M&Ms or Nips then decorate with icing. It was an annual Easter tradition for us. My little kids have a few more years before I can start passing on the tradition to them but I can’t wait!

Happe Easter to you and your family, Marketman!

celebrating easter in my family is very much like having a fiesta or christmas lunch. we don’t do egg hunts or the easter bunny. we do give out sweets and chocolates and eat loads of food. i think the western style of celebrating easter is not yet that wholely accepted as a christian tradition unlike santa claus is during christmas for filipinos. what is the significance of the rabbit for easter for the west and the eggs?? santa claus came from the story of st.nicholas that i know

I agree very few people seem to celebrate Easter here. It seems we are always focused on Christ’s passion and not His resurrection.I can”t find one decent Easter greeting card.No market for it I guess.Anyway more power!

Hi Mr. Marketman,

I saw your article and I would like to ask if you know how to cook Bacalao.

Thank you.
