Happy Easter Sunday

Hello Hello Hivians.

Happy Easter Sunday. I hope that if you celebrate Easter that you have a wonderful time, and haven't eaten too many eggs!

Easter Sunday

Today is not only Easter Sunday, well this post will be my contribution to #sublimesunday initiated by Hive account@c0ff33a and #beautifulsunday initiated by Hive account@ace108 and a new one that I will try for #sundayrandom initiated by Hive account@ekavieka where he shares random macro shots.

Decision time

I am making an interactive post. Lunch was beans.

I made these over night...

Pork and chilli pinto beans, fiery edition.

I had asked Mrs T what she wanted as our Easter meal. I was thinking of a nice leg of lamb or something, but oh no she wanted some beans!

Well I prepped them and cooked them overnight and today we served up bowls of beans..

Tomorrow will be making burritos with ground beef and the beans. So damn tasty!

Easter for me means chocolate Easter eggs

Ironically I have a couple of neighbours who don't give us Christmas presents or cards but give us a couple of Easter eggs!

You can even write on the packaging who it for as a gift.

So this year I had 4 to choose from!

I have never been a fan of Easter bunnies, usually it is cheap chocolate and tastes stale I found. Maybe it is different now!

Have you heard of Caramilk?

I hadn't, so when I saw it in the shop yesterday I just had to buy it! So along with Hive account@asiaymalay wanted to see what it was like!

Right enough it is not a milk chocolate egg but a golden caramel chocolate egg!

I cracked it open, how do you crack yours?

I prefer the good old Glasgow kiss, let's you take out your frustrations too!

The proof is in the pudding as they say!

It was delicious and reminded me of the old caramac bars, not sure if they still make those!

Well a very nice change.

Do you have chocolate eggs or other eggs at Easter time?

Someone asked me what is the significance with eggs and Easter... So Gemini my trusty AI told me ...

Symbolism of Eggs: Eggs have been symbols of new life, fertility, and rebirth for thousands of years, often associated with pagan spring festivals celebrating the renewal of life after winter. Christianity adopted this symbol to represent the resurrection of Jesus Christ – emerging from the tomb like a chick hatching from an egg. The hard shell symbolizes the tomb, and cracking it represents the resurrection.

Then the chocolate companies got in on the act and it became another commercialised holiday, with the real meaning being lost on many.

The macro shot

Who can guess what that macro shot is of?

Sweet and Savoury

Easter time is not all about the sweet eggs...

Oh no, we do have some savoury things to.

For example, my coffee is calling for a hot cross bun!

Tomorrow is a public holiday in the UK so after all this chocolate and butter and jam I shall be hopping down to the gym tomorrow for a biking session overlooking the sea!

Thanks so much for popping in and Happy Easter.
