We did have easter breakfast, after the egg hunt, with 17 people as well, I think. <BR/>I love your "extras" -- we did/do have them, but never a word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-84822213802647281022007-04-07T14:13:00.000-04:002007-04-07T14:13:00.000-04:00Absolutely lovely photo to go with a lovely post.Absolutely lovely photo to go with a lovely post.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904286943340898221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-47594586661340883722007-04-07T10:58:00.000-04:002007-04-07T10:58:00.000-04:00This year we're doing natural egg dying.

Red and yellow onion skins, violets, red cabbage (makes blue), apple-tree bark (yellow), beets, cherries, paprika, skins of golden delicious apples (green). The family prefers those fizzy pills that make the weird overbright colors, sold in all the stores, so we have to alternate years.

I mean, we go to church, and when we were kids did the egg hunt/new dresses thing, but we've never had an Easter dinner thing at all. Being away from home for Easter has never been a big deal for me. But boy is it for my students. I'm hosting a brunch (at a restaurant) for the grad students because they're all just so sad about being alone. I bet if I'd grown up with big dinners like you have, I'd be sad to miss it. <BR/><BR/>And what do vegans eat on Easter? No eggs, I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-53242443225656341332007-04-07T07:39:00.000-04:002007-04-07T07:39:00.000-04:00Lovely lake. And seventeen!
