I went back to look at last year's Easter weekend post in order to confirm my suspicions that this year's was going to be virtually identical. And yes, it is!
Picture of finished tarrale - check!
Picture of finished pizza chiena - check!
I did forget to take a picture of the basket treats (they didn't come out as nice as last year's), but instead...
...here's a picture of the plate we put out for the Easter Bunny (who in our house is Mummy Cottontail, the main character from this classic story), alongside our freshly dyed Easter eggs and this year's Easter bouquet.
And of course the Easter brunch spread - check! (The menu is indeed identical to last year's, although I think my plating was better this year.)
So there you have it - documentary proof that I really am a creature of habit and a devotee of ritual. I'm not ashamed to admit it - this brunch is my way of upholding a very longstanding familial Easter tradition, and I haven't yet been offered a way to spend Easter weekend that has tempted me to set it aside.
The biggest difference between last year and this year has been how I've spent Easter Monday - last year I spent it in the car, on the first leg of a a weeklong road trip. This year I've spent it having a much-needed, unscheduled day off at home.
I hope you've been able to spend your weekend (long or otherwise) just as you like.
