Over teh aslt couple of days, I've been seeing offers for roasts and
things similar to roasts that are easy to cook. Then there is
sparkling wine and salmon and all kinds of things. I never knew people
had special meals at Easter, other than lots of eggs for breakfast.
Maybe it's new here, though. Supermarkets kooking for ways to get
people to spend more money.
So it's a interesting to see so many people in this ng have special
plans. The one holiday I like is Easter - because it *doesn't* have
the family pressure of obligatory fun like Christmas and such do. But
maybe I've got it all wrong and Easter is liek the other holidays and
I just didn't know. I hope Easter will remain my safe holiday, though 🙂
Oh really? Our family Easter involves 3 invites as well as our dinner
that we try to reserve for our kids and their spouses.
Forgive my imperfect English.... You mean you are invited 3 people/sets
of people? Or have been invited to three things?
I hate Easter
Quoted message said:commercialism because I totally detest chocolate. We don't do the egg
thing but this year we might. I have a little activity involving golf
clubs and eggs flying into the water.
That could be fun. And have the added advantage of reducing any
frustration levels 🙂
Trust me in this family meaning
Quoted message said:my extended relatives, *every* holiday is a horrid experiences leaving
you gritting your teeth. The next one is the May 24 weekend. Heck, I'm
not even going to go there.
I am glad you are brave like that. Not everyone dares turn such
invitations down. It is the only way to got, though, to me. Not going, I
mean.
It's worse than Christmas, Hallowe'en,

planning a nice quite get away with the answering service shut off about
a week before 😉

My treat this year for Easter: matzoh. Haven't had them for about 20
years and am looking forward to having them. I think I'll top them
with cottage cheese. Maybe salmon, too.
Maybe I'll make matzoh balls out of any left over matzoh. But maybe I
won't - there are easier ways for making dumplings, really 🙂
