So is everyone ready to celebrate Easter tomorrow? One thing is for sure if I really want to feel horrible about myself. If I want to feel like the worst wife/pet mom in the world all I have to do is go on Instagram. There's so many people posting all these great and wonderful pictures of treats they are making this weekend. What the freak? How are so many people scoring these special ingredients to make these special things? Am I the only one that couldn't find a ham, eggs to dye, or even a chocolate bunny?
One of my cousin's even posted pics of him and his kids decorating Easter Bunny cookies and making hot cross buns. I can't make hot cross buns and cookies right now? I have 4 eggs in this house, I can't use them making cookies and rolls, I need the eggs for other main items. But wait, let's delve into this slightly, people posting pics of hot cross buns and resurrection rolls on instagram...um, there's that many people that have those ingredients on hand? I guess I'm an odd duck that doesn't keep yeast in the pantry year round. I buy yeast when I need it due to the fact it has an expiration date that can't be ignored, not to mention our humidity here kills yeast that sits in a pantry too long. I've also seen lots of posts about these wonderful ham glazes to make for hams. Well if I could have scored a ham in one of our grocery hauls maybe I would need a wonderful glaze. Seriously, I feel awful that I can't do some of these things. I don't even have the ingredients for bird nests. Once again I couldn't score all the ingredients.
That all being said, my husband and "kids" will wake up to Easter stuff tomorrow. I did order some special items for Brad and the furries online 2 weeks ago. However, I could not get any plastic eggs so I can't stuff them to have an Easter egg hunt in the yard with Landon. Darn it! Anyway I'm feeling slightly bad. Clearly I'm not doing this quarantining thing right. Clearly other people are managing to get all this Easter stuff that I was unable to get. Maybe I didn't put in enough effort. To my cousin "whom will remain unnamed on this blog"...I tried, I really did try. Didn't really need you making me feel like crap for not being able to make classic Easter stuff. Doing the best I can with what we have here. Perhaps, one big difference is where we are.
Oh well, it is what it is! Easter will still be fun. It will be a lowkey festive this year. I did manage to figure out how to make a yummy Easter brunch and a pie with only 4 eggs. Anyone want to give me some dap for that?
