It was a great weekend, full of Easter festivities. There was egg dying, cute outfits, egg hunts and really good food. Dinner was the beginning of what we think will be a new tradition. We focused on Middle Eastern foods to remind us of the region where the Savior lived. The appetizers were all strictly biblical food, mentioned in different parts of the old and new testaments. They were also very kid friendly. The main course was kabobs, hummus and falafal. It was all homemade, right down to Ashley's delicious pita bread. Yum. There was a slight mishap with my first batch of falafal but I mixed up a new batch and Aaron got home in time to fry up the second round and it was good, good, good. Of all the adults I've polled most thought the falafal was the highlight. Ashley was outnumbered, favoring the kabobs. For dessert we had baklava, which, while Greek, is oft enjoyed in Israel as well. I came up with the idea due to the fact that we are without our dining table while it is in the (long) process of being refinished in my newly put together craft room. I wanted something that we could eat on the floor. This worked out perfectly and, like I said, it might just turn into a new Easter tradition. (I apologize about the formatting issues on this post. Our mouse pad is acting up and it's a nightmare to reposition anything. I'll have to take the computer in this week, right after I put the house back together, take the dog back to the vet to get a cone so he will stop licking his incision, and the other million things that have to get done, sheesh!)
