Happy Easter

Hey kids,

Happy Easter to anyone in the U.S. or anyone else anywhere else who celebrates it.

I made deviled eggs to bring with me today, but then I thought - maybe DEVILed eggs aren't the most appropriate thing for the occasion.  Hopefully my family will not see it that way.

I don't even get holiday pay for it. Though, given my personal beliefs, maybe I should celebrate that fact.

My grandma was shocked that we don't get Easter Monday off. I'd never heard of Easter Monday. Was that the day Jesus went shopping or something?

Dude, you've only been working for a week.  You can't be burnt out already?

From the Easter isn't Christian enough department.  In much the same way that Christmas is now "CHRISTmas," Easter is now "Resurection Day."

Wouldn't it just be easier to go back to calling it "Christ Mass" or do they not like the Catholic connotations of the word "mass"? And if we're not calling it Easter do kids still get to go to the mall and sit in the laps of creatures primarily known for fuck*ng a lot while surrounded by oversized novelty components of sexual reproduction?

OH yes you can.  It's quite a shock to the system to start working again. I can't BELIEVE they expect me to go to work again tomorrow AND THE NEXT DAY.  (I work weekends, so this is MANY days in a row now...)

Ouch.
But indeed, less burnt out and more just liking being able to sit around, and sleep lots. It's a shock to the system going from a while of sitting around working from home, and doing music, to getting up at 7 every morning and getting home 12 hours later. That said, I'm looking forward, in a strange way, to going back in tomorrow. Figure the four day weekend, if it hasn't broken my resolve, is a good way to help me ease into this full timeness.

As far as celebrating easter, had some very good roast lamb yesterday, but haven't even seen an egg all weekend.

That's because they're hidden. You'll have to organize a hunt, really.

I almost ran into Jesus on a hoss last weekend.  I was headed out to the grocery store, came around a corner, and there was Jesus on a hoss, followed by a bunch of kids and a few adults waving palm branches, right down the middle of the street like they owned the friggin' place.  I yelled "Go Jesus!" as I crawled past all the way on the LEFT side of the road.

Jesus was played by what looked to be a 14-year-old girl.  Fortunately for her that church isn't too concerned with accuracy (Jesus rode into town on a donkey, not a hoss) or she would have been nailed to a cross mid-week.

We had our annual potluck brunch at our house.  Many guests, much food.  Lizzie del Vaca quite enjoyed her first Easter Egg hunt.

we get Good Friday off as a State Holiday here. This is probably my last Good Friday off, though.

We had about 8 people over for grilled lamb in a zinfandel marinade/sauce, risotto, asparagus, wine galore, and a humongous apple pie. It was fun.

Also, we made breakfast at church for the multitudes Easter sunday - I made mini Frittattas, we had bacon and pancakes, fruit and muffins and juice and coffee. We fed like 200 people I think. It was pretty rad.

I did a semi-boneless leg of lamb on the grill.  Mrs. West made a lemon cake with meringue icing.  Mother West did the rest.  It was very tasty.

I did the lamb on Saturday and cooked a pork tenderloin for Saturday night at the same time.  The pork actually turned out better than the lamb.  The lamb was a little disappointing.  It wasn't bad, but I worked really hard on it and it wasn't as excellent as I expected it to be.
