Our Philoptokos chapter bakes koulouria, and dyes eggs for sale before Pascha. Last Saturday we baked 720 (or so) koulouria ~ we sell those by the dozen. Tsoureki is on Monday, with the exception of the 15 small loaves I baked for the shut ins. Egg dyeing is on 4/17, and our priest hands out the red eggs on Saturday.....or is it Sunday? It's all a whirlwind.
We have so many icons that need decorating with flowers. There are 3 of us, and each one of us is doing this at least once a week. Our main source for flowers is Trader Joe's. Sometimes the grocery store. So, we have to buy the flowers 2-3 days before, then I go down to the church hall to do the decorating.
Don't ask me why I volunteer for all of this ~ most of me loves it, some of me wants to take a nap......
In a bit over 3 weeks, I will take off for Greece! I'm ready, but of course I haven't packed yet. I am after all, a pro-crastinator.
I dropped by the office to take them 2 loaves of the bread, and from everything I heard, it's still nuts. Soooo, when I wake up in the morning, I will smile, stretch, and hang out in bed for a few more minutes 😊
Yeah, I can be mean....
Have a great rest of the week!
Love, 365
