The custom of giving eggs goes right back to the times when eggs, as a symbol of renewed life, were ex- changed at spring festivals. Most countries have developed their special Easter fare ... time-tested recipes which were gradually incorporated in- to traditional items on the family menu.

In Portugal, the tradi- tional dessert is made of fine strands of egg yolk called angel's hair. The Russian housewife bakes a yeast cake, known as Kulich which is wrapped in 'a spotless napkin. for blessing. The Italians bake Col- umba, similar to Russian Kulich, and the regional cooks of Sicily make a rich cake layered with ice cream and topped with chocolate. In Canada, the tradi- tional main course features a sweetened ham or spring lamb, preceeded by delicious, savoury ap- petizer eggs.

PIZZA "Vv # Vv Tips for Decorating Eggs: 1. Use only white- shelled eggs for decorating. 2. Hard-cook eggs in spinach water for a green colour, those hard-boiled with: raw beets will turn red. 3. Onion skins wrapped around the eggs and wound with cotton thread given an orange-brown mottle effect. 4. Add a few drops of vegetable dye or food col- ouring to the water to dye the eggs blue, purple or yellow. 5. Narrow strips of masking tape can be stuck onto the eggs in geometric patterns. Peeling them off will reveal white patterns ona coloured background. \ : 6. Boil the eggs before decorating with crayons, vegetable dyes or watercolours. 7. Polish all decorated eggs with a little olive oil for a rich lustre. ATTENTION SNOWMOBILERS The executive and membership of the Aguasabon Golf.
