easter is past, but i'm still posting

{lunch at squat and gobble in the marina}
{dessert browsing at miette}
{challah bread - note: when it says let rise an hour, don't leave for 3 hour church}
{super easy salad, but fancy enough to impress - recipe in the easter post}
{i thought i had a lot of eggs (left), then i saw my sister-in-law julie's basket. she is fast!}
I love easter. We are all in our mid to late 20's, and some (uh hem, Rick) are in their 30's. My parents haven't let up on the egg hunts and we request them every year. They have some usual tricks (plant beds, and inside shoes) but are always looking for new ways to be sneaky. My mom was up at 6am Sunday and set the table and decorated it, and I will never be able to beat that, so I let that go and focused on my bread and salad. This bread recipe makes a LOT. We only ate half of one loaf at dinner. In the future I would only poppyseed one loaf and just plain egg the second for variety. Mom's new surprise this year was a 'spiritual grand prize'. This year, I barely found any eggs, but got the grand prize, and then so did my brother! Luckily, he had already watched his dvd of the prophet for his additional spiritual grand prize, so that went to me. Parents are funny.

easter dinner

this year for easter dinner i am in charge of table decor, salad and bread. i love egg-y, sweet challah bread, because of the story behind it for passover, plus it's so pretty and delish. i'm putting a new twist on the abelmann salad and making it a little fancier for the occasion. salad recipe here, challah here. (bread photo via) what are you making for your easter dinner?
