It has been a most spectacularly, gorgeous, warm, sunny weekend, unlike any Easter I can remember. Just two weeks ago we had snow and I thought March would go out like a lion, but no April fools, it is 22 Celsius outside. (Sorry Edie)
We had a wonderful weekend celebrating at church and with family. We kept our Easter meal simple with a cold lunch, followed with a little egg hunt for the children and a walk to a neighbourhood playground which was the best.
To bless my family with tradition I baked Paska, sweet rolls infused with citrus, frosted with icing and sprinkles, and served with a sweet cottage cheese custard spread. This year it felt like Paska 101 as together with a nine year old grandson we made a batch of gluten free paska. They turned out great and have disappeared so I take that as a compliment. And then I remembered a citrus allergy in the family, so back to the mixing bowl and kneading for another sweet roll variety. All was good!
