Our kids are “double-dippers” — getting both Passover and Easter this week. They are therefore now pumping blood that is fifty percent sugar. This year, the Easter Bunny found chocolate dipped Peeps — a big improvement though I never really took to the little yellow chicks made of some mystery material. Of course, traditional Peeps were also included.
We are preparing for our annual Easter Egg hunt when we invite all of the neighborhood kids for a massive search for hundreds of eggs. We should have around 40-50 kids this year.
I will be making our traditional mustard-herb coated lambs. We have to do two for the guests and Leslie and the kids have made hilarious cupcakes that look like rabbits burrowing in grass as well as shark cupcakes. She has also made strawberry cheesecake that will be lucky to make it up until dinner.
Happy Easter to everyone — now hop to it and eat more chocolate!
