Happy Easter 2011 offering from Magog Muffins is lemon & poppyseed - light and lemony like the Spring. The eggs we use are from Gog Magog Hills Farm Shop - huge, free-range woodland creations that challenge the carrying capacity of a standard egg box.
Also with a spring in her step today is the Easter Bunny - but all out of chocolate having spread it around a bit. What's with all these eggs and rabbits and why Easter? The link seems to be in the time of year... the emergence of Spring in Europe. Eggs and rabbits are both symbols of fertility - check out rabbits and "superfetation". The tradition of coloured eggs left by a "spring hare" emerged in Germany in the 1500s, moving with German immigrants into the US in the 1700s.
This is of course their year - the Chinese Year of the Metal Rabbit which has a special significance for the head chef at Magog Muffins. Anyone coming across this metal rabbit is welcome to steer it in this direction - any metal egg will do... gold, silver, anything really.

Does your website have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it develop over time.
