We had a nice, small, modest and traditional Easter. I had two breakfasts, one at a normal time, one upon my daughter waking up, she did an omelette (or ham and egg) variation, as she dislikes boiled eggs. Then we also had a brunch at my parents home. I could see my Mom's back was hurting and my Dad's shoulder, so I was just hoping and praying they remain ok, not overstrained. We did not stay long so that they could rest. So far so good.
I did some clay eggs and then coloured them, it is so difficult to hand roll an egg form, a proper one, (now I know), so my boyfriend joked my clay eggs looking within a range from Dinosaur eggs to partridge eggs ( I am na absolute clay beginner). But it was fun.
Church service, yes, very beautiful and long, on the night prior (Saturday night).
Continuing on food, I experimented with a traditional walnut roll (orehnjača), changing some details, it came out rather well. I also tried Recetas de Gri gluten free brownies (banana mash and cocoa powder). And a carrot cake, also a Recetas de Gri recipe.
The coloured eggs were not eaten, for tradition and decoration purpose only. Next year we talked about using natural colours (red onion, spinach etc), so that we may eat those eggs. I do not like seeing food wasted.
The carrot/orange cake:
Glutenfree brownie, lovely strawberries:
Breakfast, egg, ham, fresh baby onion, raddish, home baked bread rolls, some pepper relish (ajvar), which is not a tradition but we love it.
The walnut roll:
(it traditionally looks much nicer, with several circles, but it was my first attempt, with modifications, so I am content)
