Easter brunch is a gladiator arena for buffet lines. You’ll face down a ham the size of a small dog and a mountain of deviled eggs that smell like a grandma’s secret recipe. My advice? Skip the jelly beans—they’re just candy-colored lies that stick to your teeth for hours.
A bizarre truth: In parts of Germany, they hang decorated eggs on trees like Christmas ornaments. If your brunch gets dull, suggest starting this tradition with your family’s casserole. “Oma, that tuna noodle thing looks great dangling from a birch branch.” Watch the conversation explode.
When the inevitable relative asks, “So, when are you getting married?” just smile and say, “Right after I find the Golden Egg, Aunt Carol.” This confuses everyone and buys you time to grab the last slice of ham. Never underestimate the power of deflection through fake treasure hunts.
