Question of the Day, Sunday April 17

[gilmargl]

Happy Easter Sunday!
I hope I'm not going to make a mistake with the date again. It's correct at the moment and only one cat nearby. She's asleep - half on my lap, so I can hardly move!

I know it isn't Easter for everybody but, I imagine, most of you are living in a country where Easter is celebrated today and the shops have been overflowing with Easter eggs in all sorts of shapes, sizes and consistencies.

I'm not feeling too inspired (an unexpected death in my close family in England has left me feeling quite sad and not in the mood for Easter at all) so
the obvious question today could be:
What came first the

chicken or the

egg ?

Or was it the magical

Easter bunny?

But, I'm going to keep things simple.

How many Easter eggs will you receive, eat, or simply give away this Easter?

I was invited to Easter brunch and ate (among other things) one painted hard-boiled egg! That will be all. I left the chocolate eggs and candy for those who love sweet things. I haven't given away any Easter eggs either. How about you?

So, my answer: one emerald green, shiny hard boiled egg!

gilmargl I'm sorry for your loss.

None. Our egg-decorating days are over, sadly. Now I decorate egg-shaped sugar cookies.

We didn't decorate eggs this year, so none to give away, but I have a feeling that I will get one at my sister's this evening.
As for chocolate eggs. I made an egg hunt for my husband this morning....a whole bunch of chocolate eggs all over the house for him to find (and the cats to mess with)...
I also have a goody bag of chocolate eggs and Cadbury mini eggs for each of my nieces.

Easter is not my holy day. We still used to dye eggs but now, since I mostly buy brown shelled eggs I don't bother. Do have some goose eggs in the basement that were blown and rinsed that I mean to decorate but have not gotten around to doing. Some day . . .

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of a close member in your family. I understand it puts a damper on your holiday.
The only Easter eggs here are the empty plastic ones we discovered the cats like to bat around on the floor. Gizmo liked to sleep with them instead.

Unknown. We dyed a dozen eggs. I got a few plastic ones with jelly beans inside at J's egg hunt yesterday. I have some dairy free mini chocolate "eggs".

I'm not counting.

My condolences.

none i already ate all my chocolate butter eggs from sees candy all the hard boiled ones i cooked are getting fed to graycie and the gf for hairball control purposes

 

[vansX2]

No eggs of any sort this Easter. Significant other is allergic to Milk Chocolate . Both of us need to watch our sugar intake. Only Fur children present so there was no need for colored eggs.

 

[Kat0121]

No eggs of any kind here either.

 

[maggiedemi]

I don't like chocolate or candy, so none unless I have eggs for dinner, but I don't think I am.

Hard boiled eggs help cats with hairballs?! I doubt my cats would eat them though.

I didn't think that cats would like hard-boiled eggs as well. Then a few months ago, Naughty "Jackpot " snuck up on the kitchen counter where there happen too be a couple of unpeeled hard-boiled eggs. I heard a clamor when I reached the kitchen. No Jackpot but a broken half eaten hard-boiled egg lay on the floor.

[game misconduct]

Just give the cats the yolk part?

yeap i feed graycie the entire yolk(half one day other half the next) over 2 days and it takes care of the hairballs for the month then rinse an repeat after she pukes up the monthly hairball have yet to see any hairballs in her poop yet doesnt matter to me as long as the hair is coming out

 

[strider rose]

i dont color eggs ...

 

[lizzie]

None at all...we haven't done Easter eggs in many years.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

I gave none and received none.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

We decorated a dozen at home. I stuffed dozens for our hunt and then my mom said she stuffed over 130 for the 6 grandkids that were there today!! (My stepsister sent the candy.) DS basically had candy and vegetables for dinner.

I also made crab deviled eggs so I’ve eaten a few if those.

We did our egg decorating a little different. Crayola has pearl, glitter, metallic and neon crayons so we used those to draw on our eggs before dyeing. They came out cute!! We will definitely do that agsin!

 

[Norachan]

I live in Asia, I have no idea what an Easter is.

 

[mani]

I live in Australia and we're way too lazy to do this colouring egg thing of which you speak.
Chocolate ones I understand, but I didn't do anything with them this year.
