It’s Easter: let’s decorate Easter eggs.
The swallow has been drawn above it perhaps does not make a summer, whereas it immediately makes Easter.
We speak about the decorated egg, female task, still felt and widespread especially in small towns.
Coloured on Saturday and placed in a basket to dry, the Sunday of the Resurrection it is brought to the church to be blessed and then consumed during the festive lunch.
Ancient custom, eggs were already coloured by Egyptians to make a present for the return of spring.
With the spread of Christianity, a legend wants some eggs suddenly painted with red in front of Peter’s incredulity to the news of the Resurrection of Jesus given by Mary Magdalene.
It is in the Renaissance courts that among nobles spreads the use of presenting gems and pearls-studded eggs, but the climax of preciosity has been reached at the end of the nineteenth century by the famous eggs of the goldsmith Peter Carl Fabergé for the Russian imperial court.
Preciosity and refinements aside, to decorate eggs is simple and fun, and gives way to have your own way and to express your creativity.
According to its use, it is necessary to empty it of its contents (with a big needle that perforate it at both extremities) if you want to use it as a decoration, whereas you must make it hard-boiled and paint it just with vegetable and for food colours if you want to eat it.
It may be useful to know that by putting in a pot peels of blonde onions you can get the orange, yellow with orange peels or carrots, green with spinach leaves, blue with red cabbage leaves, brown with coffee, red with blueberries or fresh red beet.
Important devices are: adding a teaspoon of vinegar to water, boiling for 15 minutes on a slow fire, putting the pot with colours and eggs in the fridge all night, and polishing eggs with olive oil.
With for food colours (at grocer’s), we suggest instead to bathe already hard-boiled eggs in cold water.
For a colourful and joyous Easter, there is an egg to be coloured or decorated. And who has more ideas, the more they make.

It is Easter: break the eggs (of chocolate)!
At the end of lunch it makes its entrance into the room between the hands of the kiddy of the house and quickly all the family opens it to bring a fine piece of chocolate to the lips and also to see what is the surprise inside. Cleared the table, it remains, in its cellophane packet, kindly available to those who inadvertently passing from there in the afternoon had as a little pang to appease Thus Easter reaches its climax of joy, and not only in Riccione.
Unfailing, greedy, so good, it is the chocolate egg that you can not renounce.
Plain, milk, with nuts, simple or decorated, large or small it may be, from the pastry shop windows or from the shelves of supermarkets, it ends in every home and at once creates an atmosphere of festivity.
The egg, a pagan symbol of rebirth, of the return to life, and then with the advent of Christianity of the Resurrection of Our Lord, all over the world is tied to Easter, and the custom of presenting decorated eggs is already widespread in the Renaissance courts.
Much more recent is the idea of producing eggs with “the food of gods” (as Maya population named chocolate).
A so successful idea that the Easter egg is now, above all, and not just for children, the chocolate egg.
Obtained through a process that has in the check of the temperature its crucial phase, it can be prepared also at home, with a cooks thermometer, a spatula, two semishells and the patience that every sublime recipe requires. And a lot of good chocolate!
Perfectly smooth if industrially produced, with small but pleasant flaws if handcraft, it always looks like shiny and tempting, and even mysterious because it hides amongst its greedy walls a nice surprise or, why not, a precious gift that a sweetheart asks to insert in.
Bringer of joy as it is, every mother will put it in the picnic basket for Easter Monday.
As long as at the end of the evening in the cellophane does not remain that the crumbs of the too good chocolate! But if later uncle and aunt pass to greet, perhaps…
