Easter bread




I know this post comes a little late, but Alex made some really delicious bread for Easter from our Williams' Sonoma baking book. It has been fun to see him learn this new hobby of bread-making, and he often has the patience required to make some recipes that I would not take on. The above is one of those, but was well worth (his) effort -- a danish pastry braid with chocolate cream creme filling, sprinkled with slivered almonds. Yum.

Our Easter was fairly low key, but we enjoyed it. I made a little Easter basket with treats (and a bottle of wine? who says Easter baskets are for kids only...) Alex spent much of the day working on his breads and I was in the middle of writing a big paper, but we did break to go on a walk in the nice weather and explored a little French themed gift shop in Shirlington.
