Easter Traditions

While waiting for the office printer to warm up Friday morning we talked about Easter traditions and the conversation focused on lamb. However this was the farthest from my head. Besides chocolate eggs, I think of bread, mostly the egg-centric kind my Great Aunts would make. This bread appeared so colorful when I was young but I was terrified to eat bread with offset food coloring, even worse the hard-boiled eggs!

Much more appealing and current in Italian culture is the La Colomba di Pasqua, AKA Dove bread. This video has great instruction and serves as a daily dose of Italian which I supposedly study every day.
