This year, however, will be the first without my brother or late grandma, so I think it will be a little sad, too. But at least there will be dessert. Even if not much chocolate (Easter is never chocolate-y for us. I was always jealous of kids with mountains of chocolate!)<br /><br />I shall return to this post of yours when I haven't just eaten so much that I honestly feel I might throw up.

I don't really have an Easter baking tradition although I did enjoy making Johanna's hot cross buns last year so that could be the start of my Easter tradition. <br /><br />Great round-up of recipes, I highly recommend making berbere but if/when you get around to it you should also make niter kibbeh (spiced clarified margarine/oil). Ethiopian food is so delicious! I might have to make some more soon...Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10057980932079998162noreply@blogger.com
