"FRO-ah OS-tairn"/"Throw-a egg" All right, it's a little forced.
Anyway... We made cascarones (confetti-filled eggs) this year. Supposedly, the practice came to Italy--as did pasta--in Marco Polo's luggage from China. And since the Professor returned from China on Easter Sunday, it all comes full circle. In my mind at least.
Very, very fun.
cascarones are like little instant parties. i don't know who first rigged up all this celebration in an egg, but they have made the world a festive place.
