The eggs look great and I'm sure they were fun to make with Sylvia. The "nasty robber" term is funny, where did that come from?

I love that you used lime instead of lemon, and agree on the benefits of nutritional yeast in creamy fillings. <br /><br />It sounds like a busy but enjoyable Easter, and hopefully today gives you time to recover from the busy side without losing the enjoyment!Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-64421729276931149712013-04-01T09:03:10.289+11:002013-04-01T09:03:10.289+11:00Happy Easter Johanna - it looks like you've ha...Happy Easter Johanna - it looks like you've had a lovely time with family.
