Easter Goodies - Creative Monday Linky

     My family and I have been enjoying the long 4 day Easter holiday weekend. It is good to see several of the favourite decorations that my twin and I always used to decorate our living-room.

   There are also the many Easter goodies that my family and I have been enjoying.  Happily everything turned out delicious:

Escoveitched Fish

        We eat a lot of escoveitched fish at Easter and like it especially with bread.  In a previous post I shared the recipe. It can can be found HERE.

Easter Buns

     Easter buns are oblong shaped buns sold by bakeries across the island. This year we enjoyed the 2 above which were made by Maxfield and Whitfield Bakeries.

Chocolates

     I still have most of the chocolate above.  I have been very good so I share them with my family whenever I have some.

    Our Easter Sunday and Easter Monday lunch - roast chicken with stuffing, curried mutton, rice and peas, potato salad, vegetable salad and baked ripe plantains and rolls.

Question Time

   Every weekend I will have a blog post where I ask and answer questions.  It is a good way for readers to get to know more about me and also help me to get feedback on a number of questions. Today I answer the final question asked by Jamie from Love Bakes Good Cakes who passed on the Liebster award to me. How many states have you stepped foot in?  I have never travelled abroad so I have never been to the U.S.A.  However if the day comes when I travel I think the U.S.A. would be the first country that I visit. I have many relatives, friends and pen pals living there.
   I am also participating in Friendship Friday hosted by Create With Joy where this week the theme is Easter and Passover. What are your weekend plans? What special Easter and Passover traditions would you like to share? It is a 4 day long weekend in Jamaica which I will be spending with my family. Many Jamaicans attend Easter Sunday service. There is also the custom to eat escoveitched fish and Easter bun and cheese.

JAMAICAN EASTER BUNS

HAPPY EASTER!

  It is a long four day holiday weekend in Jamaica and holidays are not the easiest of times when you have lost loved ones.  However  as I reflect on Easter my spirit is lifted by two quotations - "Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life"  and "The great gift of Easter is HOPE." Interestingly these quotations were stickers on a letter from one of Janine's former pen-pals whose name is also Janine.

 

HAPPY EASTER to all who celebrate this season!
