The 10 Easter commandments. The third should be written on all refrigerators. See if it suits you!

Easter is approaching and, with it, the national marathon of cleanliness, cooking and diplomacy begins. For some, it's a holiday. For others (read others), it's triathlon with short stops in the oven, sink and family group on WhatsApp. We know how many eggs to vopes, how many nerves to bite and how many replicas to swallow the unmixed. How do we succeed? Because we are women. And because, although we shake in the midst of chaos, it doesn't matter how well the Easter came out, but that we came with all ours-and with us-whole at the table. So, if you want this year to get to the Easter table with a smile (and not with the white threads) in the flower, we leave below a small survival guide from 10 Passover commandments. It's not a canon, but it helps.

Family Easter is like a beef salad: in theory, it seems simple, but everyone has an opinion of what it should look like. And if you are with peas, do not dare to say “traditional”! Between cleanliness, steak and “Why didn't you do chicken drum?”, It takes something stronger than painted eggs. A strategy is needed. And a little humor. The 10 Easter commandments succeed with a little humor.

1. Do not plan Easter as a military invasion

You can have a list, fourth sheets and colorful agenda, but also leave room for surprises (inevitable): a forgotten Easter, the mother who wants only Kinder and the neighbor who “brings a little cozonac” (ie two trays and a bowl with soup), and you have no place in the fridge.

And even if you made your plan for days, hours and meat assortments, do not be surprised when on Saturday you enter your mother with a jar of horseradish, a mother-in-law with a drob tray and sister with a baby and zero help. Everything at the same time. And you will ask why you noted “relaxation” between 16:00 and 16:30. It is clear that you were young and naive when you wrote that. Family Easter is a patience test.
