    Clan Ranger went the full distance and we'll be enjoying a smoked
    ham with a maple glaze, spiral cut, mashed Kennington potatoes,
    roasted asparagus, spinach for salad, and a fresh loaf of sweet
    french bread and honey-butter.

    Daughter-unit Beta was first up at 0530 to scope out where the
    Easter Bunny had set out the eggs. She relayed that intell to her
    sister, Alpha, who in gave Spawn her orders.

    Momentary excitement: Damned if the Easter Bunny didn't disturb a
    nursery of freshly-hatched alligator lizards during his rounds
    last night... There's nothing quite like lifting over a planter
    box to see the ground squirm, snake-like, in every direction.
    There was a time they'd've all been quickly and efficiently
    displayed in a capture case before they'd known what was looking
    down, not just the sleepiest.

    I'll post a picture of him later today. I might even get lucky and
    find the rest.

    Chez moi, it is to be swiss steak (BIL has religious issues with ham
    and the whole family, 'cepting me, hates lamb), mashed taters with
    the gravy from the ss, roasted asparagus ($1.27/lb this morning!!),
    homemade dinner rolls with buddah, and pineapple upside down cake for
    dessert.

    Keep the lizards in Marin, heh. I gots enough problems with tree rats
    .... which, come to think of it, would solve the lizard problem, if I
    had it....

    They're touched, and not in a good way! Don't like lamb or ham!
    Slap 'em 'side they heads with a bone-in Kentucky Aged piece o'

    I am in the SB; the Capital of Silicon Valley, but the pictures of
    the specific critters are from Marin. Their territory is quite
    extensive, though...

    Steve. I know Barry much better than you do, and he is not efficient or
    effective enough to be a serial killer OR a mass murderer. In the first case
    he'd probably try to choke people on Cheerios and in the second just
    thinking about putting forth all that effort would make him tired.

    How do you spiral cut mashed potatoes? And why would you,
    Ranger? Why?

    Step one, mound mash in a bowl. Step two, take a razor-sharp knife
    and cut into the mound, while spinning bowl and allowing the knife
    to circle deep into the mound. This makes the mashed potatoes even
    more mouth-wateringly tender than the more traditional, yet
    simple, mashing can make them.

    Hey, it also exposes more surface area for the absorption of butter or
    gravy. If you didn't know that, you didn't grow up in my house!

    We postponed Easter dinner until today (Monday) because my wife's sister
    came to visit for a few days. We had a small leg of lamb. I hope that it is
    enough. We all all lamb lovers. We have some small potatoes to roast along
    with carrots and parsnip, and will have some steamed asparagus. For
    dessert we will have meringues with a fresh fruit salad and ice cream.
