Easter 2018

April 4, 2018 by Stacey 2 Comments

veggie mama easter 5

Easter this year was a pretty action-packed one actually, with family from out of town and me trying to eat ALL THE THINGS.

Friday was definitely spent doing exactly that, with a trip to not only Smith & Deli for lunch, but Smith & Daughters too (for a family dinner).

The only thing I ate that wasn’t a S&D product that day was one cherry tomato and one french fry.

I also went to the NGV to check out the Triennial exhibition with my sister-in-law, baked fantastic hot cross buns, had an Easter Egg hunt, read a whole lot of books, had a bonfire night with extra snacks, made an Easter cake for the kids, had our online book club chat for Trainspotting, veggie mama esater

Ate a hell of a lot of the aforementioned hot cross buns (truly, my best yet),

menemen

And chowed down on Menemen for our Easter Sunday brunch. The weather was glorious, the wine even better, the company the best.

I now, however, live to regret purchasing two Elegant Rabbits, as neither of them taste like they did in childhood. I’m never going to get through both, let alone one. People laugh at “leftover chocolate” but I feel like our whole house is made of it after Easter every year.

The rest of the school holidays shall now be spent catching up on all the reading and knitting I’ve been “meaning to do” this whole first term. It was a doozy.

I’ll see you tomorrow for the Hot Cross Bun recipe – you’ll be everyone’s favourite neighbour/family member/friend come next Easter, I promise. They’re that good. SO FLUFFY!

    I made Easter buns on Friday except my oven changed from the correct temperature down to 90 degrees all by itself without me registering until the things weren’t cooked after 45 minutes. The said buns SunChips but still tasted good. Easter Sunday the small human awoke to find a trail of Easter eggs to a Thomas the tank engine egg in the cupboard (although she was a little confused by the whole affiar) I remember my foster mum always used to make cookies with leftover Easter chocolate I don’t yet have that problem however.
