We are going to Utah and have no plans.

I’ll be taking a leg of lamb we have in freezer.

My 64th birthday is on the 27th.
It'll be a combination of both.

We don't really do Easter. I have some duck in the freezer. I may do that as my nod to the season.

Oh, I have a duck in the freezer, too. Is that an Easter thing? Maybe I'll roast mine as well!

I think I may add a homemade lemon meringue pie to dessert. It's been a long time since I made one.

 

[lilbopeep]

I got a whole butterflied and rolled leg of lamb. On sale $9.99 a lb. ($5.00 off a lb. ). It was $70.00 for 7 lbs. I’ll cut into 3 pieces. Three lamb meals for three people. I think that’s a good deal.

 

[Sass Muffin]

Tomorrow I'll be having fish, chips and peas for dinner.
I picked up Saturday night at work, so I'll be sleeping away all day on Easter Sunday.

 

[QSis]

Same as every recent year: Saturday's meal will be similar to the Easter meals of my Polish relatives: Blue Seal kielbasa, colored hard boiled eggs, asparagus, either babka https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/polish-babka-recipe
or a few pierogis.

Sunday will be delivery Chinese which is Kathy's tradition. I've told that story before.

Oh yeah, I'll be going to Good Friday services tomorrow at St. Augustine, my church... can't decide if my meal will be lunch or dinner.
I guess it doesn't matter.

 

[lilbopeep]

I wonder if anyone does the stations of the cross anymore.

I wonder if anyone does the stations of the cross anymore.

St. Auggie's does.
I'll be staying for the Stations too.
They normally do them after the service.
As usual, I'll be there early before, for the rosary as well.
So that's going to be a lot of hours in church.
I've got much to pray for and be thankful for.

Easter morning breakfast.

Beautiful!

 

[SilverSage]

As it turns out, breakfast was our main Easter meal. You know I had cataract surgery on Wednesday, then last night I couldn't sleep. Today, my eye is throbbing. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow, but in the meantime, Judy suggested we have leftovers tonight and make a holiday meal Monday or Tuesday. I didn't hesitate to jump on that suggestion.

My duck dinner will wait a day.

 

[Sass Muffin]

I WAS going to make a quiche, but once I woke up from a few hours of sleep, the notion left me.
I had some leftover ham and bean soup from the freezer.
