A Nice Jew Celebrates Easter

Hi Gang

I'm happy to say that, while being Jewish, I still get to celebrate all the great Christian holidays! We've got some mixed marriages in my family, so I get to have fun on Easter Sunday with the rest of you :guitarist

Believe me: Passover is NOWHERE near as fun as Easter is :p

Are you BBQing?

Hi Honey :-6

It's still chilly here in New England -- we're still doin' our cooking indoors!

We are having an Easter brunch at hubby's sister's house -- about an hour away from us. It's kind of nice for a change; we usually do big dinners so this is great.

It'll be scrambled eggs, hash browns, waffles, quiche, bagels, muffins and my Cream Cheese Squares (which were a big hit at my dinner party last weekend).

"Course they'll be some good chocolate going on as well :guitarist

Same here nothing beats good food and a happy family. Of course if the food is 'really' good then sharing is out of the question, especially if it's chocolate, no matter how much I may love you!

Easter is nowhere near as fun as Easter is.:wah: We're so far away from the original intent either the churches or the retailers need to change a name. It'll still be just as fun.
