• did you know that the tradition of Easter eggs - and the word "Easter" itself - are derived from a parable about the pagan goddess of springtime?
• surprise! genius jello-filled eggs and "Which Came First?" hidden peeps 
• growing up, my favorite book was Chickens Aren't the Only Ones, all about other egg laying creatures. 
• this ceramic egg-crate gives me a rush of joy every time I open my fridge (thanks, Tess!)
• cracked shells and composting 
• truly urban farming : the apartment (!) next to mine has chickens
• pretty pictures of colorful confetti filled eggs called "cascarones" by Abby Powell. 
• hen shaped egg cups from Graham and Green are a totally reasonable purchase, right?
• and in case you missed it : my favorite easy egg recipe. 

happy easter and happy passover, darling readers! this jelly bean is for you.
