Happy Easter Everyone

[olbriar]

Happy Easter! I personally don't have any big plans this weekend. Tomorrow, the wife and I are meeting another couple at the cabin to enjoy the afternoon. Sunday I plan to smoke something. The weather is supposed to be very nice this weekend for the little Easter egg hunters and family BBQs. I hope you have something fun planned and enjoy the weekend with family and friends.

Wife always does Ham, asparagus, stuffing, giant green & black olives and rolls on Easter. It's just like clockwork every Easter 😆

That sounds great to me. My wife's family always had olives on the holidays. It would not be a Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter without them at my house. I have to steer clear of them because they are so tasty due to their sodium content. It won't slow my wife down.
I'm thinking about smoking a prime rib and asparagus and baking some sweet potatoes.

Olives are a real big Mediterranean French thing for my wife. I took this pic in France

I love olives! For a perfect snack I'd love to have some hard salami, hard cheese, and ripe olives.
Eating olives is nearly impossible around my cat. She absolutely loves olives and in your face for one.
She smells them if you open a can or jar and the fight is on. No other food item effects her that way.

I'm cooking a ham and my BIL is making homemade manacoti.

After church, we’ll relax a bit with the dogs and then we plan to head down the road to my sister’s house. They’re providing most of the menu; we will bring a potato dish and wine.

Re: olives, I’ve never been a big fan. My wife likes them, though.

Happy Easter to all the Early Birds out there.

Green olives were often in the fridge when growing up. They weren't served, they were just an occasional snack item. I never tasted a ripe olive until I was a young adult. It came sliced on a pizza and was pretty tasty.

Seems apt for this thread…3D printers have well impacted the Lego-ish world.

Nothing in our house though, we bought a ham, and mom did bring in pie with whipped cream.
Guest? Hmm...Probably the usual suspects.
My friend, I was so plumbed tired from my side occupation on that day, I fell so much asleep with the wrong timing and really horrided it though,
she made a cup cake for me and my sister.
I am happy that my sister spend time with her.

Leaving to make the 1 hour trip to my sister in laws house in the morning. We're bringing the desert, she's making everything else. Haven't seen them in about 2 years now...

Happy Easter. no chocolate eggs, no Easter bunnies, not around these parts. No ham, we're having Peking duck for lunch.

Mike, it's got to feel like another world sometimes?

I sang in the choir of my in-laws' church, where I preached a couple of times, recently. Being a professional, I "crash" the choir because I work during their midweek rehearsals. I read the music and do the service with them. I thought it would be a blessing.. they loved it. BUT there were all sorts of Easter plants there that sent my allergies into a tailspin. LOL.

well it rained here most of the weekend, it rained Sunday morning.... then the sky cleared long enough for me to watch my Padre's Decimate the Giants 😆
