Easter time, time of eggs 🥚, chocolates 🍫, sweets&cakes, but hopefully also time for peace in Ukraine, in Russia and all over the world. Happy Easter to all our followers and friends with our home made Pastiera Napoletana, the typical Italian cheesecake in Easter. Made with cooked wheat, Fresh ricotta cheese, orange and lemon zest and a very special ingredient which is the core flavor of this recipe: the orange blossom essence! And lots and lots of love of course…

The History of 'APRONS'
I don't think our kids know what an apron is. The principle use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven.
It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears.
From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven.
When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids..
And when the weather was cold, Grandma wrapped it around her arms.
Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove.
Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron.
From the garden, it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls.
In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees.
When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds.
When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner.
It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes.

I don't know how many germs were on that apron.
But I've never caught anything from an apron - but love❤️
