Do you celebrate Easter? We dyed eggs last week and the kids are looking forward to hunting for the filled-plastic variety with friends on Sunday, when we’ll have a potluck brunch. As for me, I’ve already broken into the candy stash, so my Easter started early. (Whoops!) There may be some restocking in order.
If you’re looking for some last-minute inspiration for the holiday, I’ve been saving some favorites to this Pinterest board. Also…
How to make easy-to-peel, perfect hard-boiled eggs. (Along with links to all of my favorite ways to prepare eggs.)

Looking back at our Easter last year and the year before that.
And some links of note from around the web…

There’s a new Sophia Coppola movie debuting at Cannes. Here’s the trailer.
And one for the new season of Catastrophe! Yay!
Everyone is probably reminding you about the annual Shopbob Sale. It usually gets me looking for the perfect one-piece. Black, this year. Is this it? This? Maybe this?

Also, Aron recommended “The World’s Worst Club” from Vox’s The Weeds in Podcasts as the best thing he’s heard in response to the United Airlines passenger assault.

This frittata looks amazing. (Something I never thought I’d say.)
Too many scary government stories like this lately: “And after listening for 10 minutes I realized that not—it’s not so easy.”
Finally, recall that conversation about wife-bonuses? This made me think about that.
Have a great weekend, and happy Easter!
P.S. That peony in the photo is real and those eggs are un-dyed. Isn’t nature amazing?!
