the day before easter (102/365d)

great teamwork on a beautiful day...
started like this....

goood moorning!

then we we colored eggs and made easterbread. i made a glorious (and way too decadent) souffle with the 10 egg whites that were not quite perfectly separated out of the 20 we got from taking the 20 yolks for the bread... yes, our easter bread takes TWENTY egg yolks.

 we played with legos and theodore and i went for a run.

for more cooking, i made confit of various vegetables, as an experiment to see how that turns out for tradition, since i have always tried to replace the protein and centerpiece aspect of easter ham, and actually eggs are tons of protein and the easter bread is always pretty much a centerpiece, so why not confit some vegetables the day before?

and of course we did lots of cleaning
and we recorded and i mixed (for 4 hours) the miserere so we have a chorus of all family voices cross-continental and international.

and after theodore and i went for our run, we started an easter fire, and whisper-sang dona nobis pacem so as not to bother the neighbors with song or noise enough for them to call the fire department.
