We had a lovely Easter ... J's folks came over for the ritual overeating to celebrate the Resurrection. We had the traditional ham, which has always struck me as odd: who decided that eating baked pork would be the appropriate meal to celebrate the greatest miracle of Jesus, a Jew? It seems like a somewhat poor and disrespectful choice. Just sayin'.
ANYwhooo, we baked the pork and the green beans and mashed potatoes and all sorts of other things, and gorged. For the first time back entertaining since MBLF, it went really pretty damned well. Perhaps the most fun thing was the dessert, made by my mother-in-law: a birthday cake for J (coming this Thursday!) which was a lovely yellow cake with cream cheese frosting ... decorated with Peeps. Strange and funny and true.
In any case, to all of you who celebrate: Happy Easter. And love and peace to us all.
