Dekker and I went to hang out with my mom and sister this afternoon. As you probably have heard, Brady and I meet with a group of friends every two weeks for food and a small Bible study. We always plan ahead of time what part of the supper we’ll bring. This week was soup and sandwiches, but in the spirit of Easter, I said we’d bring Easter bread, or Paska. Its a pretty rich, thicker bread that usually has icing on some part of it. I didn’t know if that would qualify as a sandwich or a dessert but I figured it would be delicious anyway.
Luckily Caity was out, since I have absolutely no idea of how to actually make Paska! And she does. She makes beautiful little paska buns instead of loaves of bread. So I called her in the morning for the recipe that I know she brought along for me, and instead they invited me out for the day so we could make the paska together. Long story short, the house smelled awesome and our half-recipe turned out 5 dozen buns!!! They are all icinged (yup, its a word) and sprinkled and ready to be eaten, and I think they eight of us at small group didn’t even take down twenty. So, if anyone wants Easter buns…
I didn’t take pictures, and I’m not getting up to do it now, but they are pink and cute and nummy. My son is also nummy today. I put him in this odd-fitting tshirt that we got him for Christmas. Its massive in the neck and fits everywhere else. So likely, it will just never really fit him well, but it leaves so much of his soft skin exposed for munching and tickling, so I couldn’t change him into a different shirt! He is just irresistible! Munch munch munch!
I guess he counts as a sweet treat today too. Dekker eating pink icing is about as sweet as it gets.
