TOTALLY GEEKED!

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Easter is this Sunday.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I had no idea Easter was this Sunday. I only realized that this past Sunday. Yesterday I went shopping for Easter stuff. The older kids are getting Starbucks gift cards. SS is getting popcorn and cheese crackers. We're dying eggs on Friday. We won't have SS. Kind of irritated at DH about that.

Our Easter menu is:
Ham
Mashed potatoes
Sweet potates
Green bean casserole
Corn on the cob
Rolls
Carrot cake
Blackberry cobbler

NAOW · Vette's SS

My mom hosts Easter. I am making asparagus and Deviled eggs. DD also wants to make cupcakes, so we will take those up as well.

Same here. I thought it'd be something to do while DD is off school.

Skipping it! May cook a turkey.

Lexxy · My dog name is Sasha, too!

I am skipping Easter dinner this year. I don't want to give up my Sunday afternoon to sit around & eat.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

It snuck up on me. I don't know why. DN and Sparkly are both off Friday so they're coming to do eggs too. DN is like a child with coloring eggs.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I'm not real sure what we will be doing.

May just put some burgers on the grill.

I'll try to get the kids a small Lindt bunny.

If that.

They are all old enough now, they don't expect anything.

Mom and dad might or might not be back from their trip.

I know we will go to church if my knee is better.

Looks like we will be on our own. It's still hard for us to prepare anything.

We will see G's daughter though. She totaled her car last week and is coming to get our extra (that would be my Z). I'm not real excited about that, but she has to have a car until we find her another one...

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

We always have a back up car too.

Sometimes it's nice other times it's a bare bones vehicle.

Me and Caitlyn really loved the old 74 ford ranger.

Sometimes we drove it for fun.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I got egg shaped Starbucks cards for the older kids. DS makes soap so I bought him the stuff to make soap and had him sink the cards in the egg shaped bar of soap. They're going to have to work for that coffee!

I'll probably pig out at a cabane a sucre, then go for a sleigh ride.

Church, of course, and then I think I'll make a turkey. I have one in the freezer that needs cooking.

Bonny22Pye · Guru

We are taking Gordito to an Easter Egg hunt at church and then I will probably make a very small spiral sliced ham and some sweet potato biscuits. Not sure what else.

The Easter bunny will come, of course. I left him a sign this year, though, kind of like this -

I got Bunny his little chocolate bunny that he gets every year. No one has mentioned getting together for dinner, so I think we are skipping it this year.

No. But I'm sure it's good. We have shaved ice here with flavored syrups.

I CANNOT get all of the kids together. The last time I had them all together was Thanksgiving...:(

Having extended family over for dinner this Saturday with a Easter egg hunt and Sunday will go to Church and have son,dil and gs over for brunch
After Church.

Not the same thing at all. You pour hot syrup onto clean fresh snow, then roll it up on a popsicle stick. You end up with kind of a maple taffy.

Hey, it's called a cultural exchange......

It's only an exchange if you actually GIVE it to us!

Welts, that actually looks good!

I am going to DS's for Easter. He has to work, DGF is going on vacation, so grandma is needed as backup.

I'm making an Easter basket for little DGS.

I will leave a big Easter basket here at home for DH to give to the rest of the grand's on Sunday. DD will be cooking dinner for her dad this year. I am not heart broken to pass the task on to her. ;)

We will all go to church somewhere, just not together this year.

We are taking MIL to one of the better restaurants near her. They are serving buffet style with gourmet food. Leg of Lamb, Tenderloin of Beef, Lobster Mac & Cheese, Tangerine-grilled Salmon, Crisp Roasted Duck, Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. That is only half of the menu. And the building is historic as the Inn has been in service since 1714.

The tangerine-grilled salmon sounds really good.

Actually, you know what's REALLY good with salmon?

Maple syrup!!!
I make a maple-baked salmon that's out of this world.

You can do that with the syrup I sent you. biggrin Canada does not have a monopoly on the real stuff. As a kid we used to do that, if no snow available we would pulverize ice from our freezer.

I am doing nothing for Easter. Did the family thing this past w/e. I am EXCITED. If the weather is nice I will go hiking. If the weather sucks, I will do some painting of some of the trim inside the house.

Confession, I do not like salmon. I have had it several ways and I just don't care for it. I will eat it if there is literally nothing else.

I am looking forward to the lamb, duck and crab cakes.

Mahi mahi, flounder, tilapia, cod, sometimes swordfish, tune if cooked medium-medium well, and almost any form of crab. probably a few more, mostly mild whitefish

and DH is allergic to shrimp and lobster.

Ummm......not much left. Doggone the real stuff is good. I think we will try this on Easter for the grand's as a treat. Thanks for the idea! smile

I will be staying home for Easter after all. The other other grandparents are taking DGS for the weekend. It is their turn to see him.

Dang it, I have to share with to many people!!

Not a big fan of tilapia. It's too....soft....if that makes any sense.

Cod I don't eat because I once bit into a piece and it was full of worms. It's a very wormy fish. Or, rather, prone to worms.

I adore tuna, but seared on the outside and raw on the inside. Sushi grade.

I made SS's Easter basket tonight. My work here is done.

Momala · Great cook-happy wife-superb fisherman

Our Bell Choir is ringing on Sunday - have to be there by 9:30, which means I have to leave the house no later than 8:00! Not happy about that. Making ham, acorn squash, fresh whole green beans, and something for dessert. Might make p-nut butter fudge. Made some for the Chili cookoff cooks' party - a whole 9x13 pan of it disappeared within seconds!
