Really, well that's too bad for you that I have friend's that oh gosh,
I don't know like to make specimens of people like you. It wasn't
funny what you did. Now you will see how funny it wasn't. As far as
being a stalker as if, You're the one who has put your family at risk
because of online actions. Hell, for all I know your phone number is
on ever bathroom stall for miles around you. Not my problem. Oh and
you really do need to loose some weight. How can I put this politely,
you are really fat!

5'5" and 165 pounds is hardly "really fat". You are a psycho stalker who
is no better than a lame ass script kiddie, except you can't even do
that, you have to have your friends do your [censored] for you. I didn't
"put my child in danger". You put my child in danger. I'm calling an
attorney friend of mine in the morning.

Sarah,
You might wanna call the FBI.

Seriously,

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?

Meaning what receivied at least 3 invites to attend meals at other
peoples homes.

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 🙂

Exactly.

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,

Quoted message said:

Thanksgiving, and Easter all rolled into one. Not good. DH and I are
planning a nice quite get away with the answering service shut off
about a week before 😉

Quoted message said:

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 🙂

than complain about what you did, didn't go though my server, are you
remotely getting the idea? The pics were fair game and you did
previously give others the right to use them <shrug> That permission is

well, nothing other than mention it and direct them to the website and

If they are, I have not heard anything about it. The things you have
threatened to do, and claimed other people have done for you, with the
digital images of my child, are illegal, and If you're actually telling
the truth about all of this, *you're* going to be the one facing legal
action.

I'm just absolutely disturbed that she found it comparable to allow
someone to put pictures of a child onto a p*rn site. Even if what you
had done was as terrible as she thought, that somehow there was an
equivalent in feeding a sicko with kiddie p*rn and allowing your child
to be abused that way is far worse than sick.

We don't have $45 for a leg of lamb, but we had $10 for the picnic ham
we bought for Easter dinner. Pretty easy to understand that one.

How big is that leg of lamb?! We spend at most $3.50 a pound for
lamb, and have, rarely, gotten it for $1.99 a pound (we bought something
like eight when it was that price). Our four legs of lamb, one
butterflied cost us about $40.

Holy cow! I've only priced leg of lamb once. Didn't notice the
weight or price per pound. I had sticker shock from the $45.00 total.
Perhaps I should look again, now that it's close to Easter ...

Thanks so much!

Possibly because ham, otherwise know as pork, is not Kosher, therefore
a step of separation from the Passover, which is definitely a Jewish
holy day. Easter, the fulfillment of the prophecies, was not accepted
by the Jewish peoples so it becomes a sort of 'nyah, nyah,nyah' in that
if you won't recognize our holy day we'll just serve food you can't eat
to spite you......nothing like good ol' Christian charity is there.

I'm sure that's it. Or maybe, it's because most of Europe ate lots
of pork anyway, and since it was lawful for a Christian to eat it, and
pigs are easy to raise and hams are kind of festive, they used them.
Maybe in the US it is common because there were more farmers raising
hogs than sheep. Of course, it must just be because evil, evil
Christians were thumbing their collective noses.

Odd, though, since among Eastern Christianity, lamb is still the
norm. Our church, in fact, specifically ties in the lamb, egg, oil,
bread and wine, making an actual connection with Passover. That
connection, also, is something that is made in scripture, and AFAIK, in
every Christian tradition, something about Christ our Passover has been
sacrificed for us, and the crucifixion happening during the Passover,
the blood of the lamb over the door being the sign that saves those in
the household/the blood of Christ being the sign that saves believers.
I don't think there's been a move to separate Easter observances from
the recognition of the Passover, except by fringe groups like the JWs.

It's a religious holiday, with religious traditions, and holidays
usually have festival food, whatever that means to the community. Since
Easter is tied to Passover, it is very traditional to have lamb, but
that isn't the only tradition. Although the groceries may be trying to
cash in on it, it isn't new that there are traditional foods.

Even the eggs are tied to Passover, though the only original coloring
was red, like blood. The candy, I don't know about, though it makes
sense that candy and sweets and things that were forbidden during Lent
would become more prominent at Easter.

I'm excellent in bed. I don't have to fake being a barbie.

And quite frankly, even if you weren't, your husband finds you
attractive, your child loves you, so who cares. There is more to beauty
than appearance, and although I can be stuck on mine (there's too much
fat here, etc), if I thought that the only way I could keep my husband
was by being thin and sexually available for any thing at any time, I
would be living a much more insecure life.

Ever since the brutal c-section I had with Elijah, I've had trouble
with my weight, I have scars and a permanent fold from that surgery, and
stretch marks. I don't have to worry that my husband will love me in
spite of those, or that he will avert his eyes or not touch me there.
One of the most touching things he ever said to me was that he saw them
as proof of the kind of woman I was. That I had done to my life what
the pregnancies and surgeries had done to my body, that I was the kind
of woman who would do whatever it took for her children.

Everyone else who might ever see me might find those features of my
body ugly, but they hold a beauty that only someone who knows how to
love can see.

I've never tried pistachio nut or anything pistachio flavoured. Am I really
missing something here?

Yes! However, the store bought pistachio ice cream can be, um, well,
not so nice. Homemade is best, but I am sure there are premium brands
out there or ice cream shop or gelato versions that are much better.

I make a sweet semolina bread with dried cranberries and chopped
pistachios in it. And a lovely vanilla-pistachio pudding.

spray. Put flour, pepper, garlic powder and salt in ziplock bag;
shake to mix. Add wing pieces, a few at a time, and shake to coat.
Put flour-coated wings on foil-covered cookie sheets. Bake in
preheated 375°F oven for 1 1/2 hours, moving wing pieces around after
45 minutes so they won't stick to the foil.
3. When wings are done, melt butter in medium saucepan. Add hot
sauce, vinegar, and lime juice. Turn off heat. Toss wings with sauce
and serve.

Mahogany Chicken Wings

Recipe By 😄amsel in dis Dress
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1/4 cup plum sauce
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup saki (rice wine)
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon garlic -- finely minced
1 bunch green onions -- finely minced
5 pounds chicken wings

Combine all ingredients except chicken. Bring to a boil, lower heat,
and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. Cool.

Cut wings at joints, forming "drummies," "sticks," and "tips". Discard
tips, or save for making soup stock.

Place wings in a container for marinating (Zip-Loc bags work great for
this), then cover with sauce. Refrigerate at least overnight, up to
two days. Turn occasionally.

Line two large jelly roll pans with aluminum foil. Coat with
vegetable oil or shortening to minimize sticking. Preheat oven to
375°F.

Place individual chicken pieces on pans and bake, uncovered, for 20
minutes. Remove liquified chicken fat and juices from pan. Turn
chicken pieces and baste with marinating sauce.

Bake another 20 minutes, turn chicken and baste. Repeat twice more,
watching carefully during the last baking cycle, so the sauce doesn't
burn.

Cuisine:
"Asian"
Yield:
"5 dozen"
Serving Ideas : Serve hot or cold.

Actually, the celery and carrot sticks are optional. The essential extra is
beer. Lots of beer.

Thanks, Carol -- I've never made Pat's wings but I've eyeballed that
recipe several times over the years. Would it ruin them to put them
in the crock pot with the sauce after they're done in the oven? I'm
thinking that would remove the "cracklin'" aspect...

It would ruin them. It would make them soggy.
