The Lockdown, Day 28: Easter Sunday

Days 25-27 were spent on reflection and rest, as work went on pause to observe the Holy Week.



"When people laugh at Mickey Mouse, it's because he's so human; and that is the secret of his popularity." - Walt Disney

Sometimes the simplest, most relatable things are those that warm the heart. Moments like these, it helps a lot to stay warm in the loving arms of nostalgia. And speaking of Disney, warm, and nostalgia, as my Easter gift to all, I want to keep this light. I'd like to share Disney's blog, they have so much Easter eggs inside! For this one, they've shared their churros recipe so we can recreate the magic at home!


Directly copy pasting from Disney Parks blog:


"From our family to yours, we hope you enjoy this little taste of Disney magic. Keep checking back to theDisney Parks Blogfor even more #DisneyMagicMoments in the near future and perhaps a few more magical recipes. Happy snacking, Disney fans!"
