Happy Easter!

Buona Pasqua!

In italiano c'è un detto, "Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi." Ma io penso che questo sia un po' sciocco, perché mi piace celebrare la Pasqua con la mia famiglia! Abbiamo le tradizione e il cibo per la Pasqua che mi piacciono molto, come il pane dolce con un'uova nel centro. Facciamo anche una torta salata, un po' come un keish, con le uova, il formaggio, e il prosciutto. Di solito, mangiamo l'agnello arrostito per il pasto, e finiamo con La Pastiera Napoletana, una pizza di grano. È molto dolce e cremosa, fatto con la ricotta. E mi piacciono anche la caramella di Pasqua, come Peeps e le caramelle alla frutta!

In Italian there's a saying, "Natale con i tuoi, Pasqua con chi vuoi," which means "Christmas with your family, Easter with whomever you want." But I think this is a little silly, because I like to celebrate Easter with my family! We have traditions and food for Easter that I love, like Easter bread, which is sweet bread with a hard-boiled egg in the center. We also make a salty pie, a little like quiche, with eggs, cheese, and ham. Usually we eat roasted lamb for the main meal, and we finish with La Pastiera Napoletana, which is also called grain pie. It's a dessert pie that's very sweet and creamy, made with ricotta cheese. And I also love Easter candy, like Peeps and jelly beans!

My pretty blue Easter dress...even though I have to wear a jacket outside today because it's chilly!


Love,

  1. Happy Easter Livia! That is a silly saying. I go to boarding school and didn't see my family this year for Easter. I really miss them!

    That food sounds yummy! :)

    Your dress is really pretty! The color looks great on you.

    Happy Easter,
