— Gabriel Malor No really, I don't want to hear it and, I suspect, many other folks don't really want to hear it on this beautiful Easter Saturday either.
So tell me about your recipes, Easter or Passover. Tell me about your family trip. Tell me about the neighbor that keeps parking on the grass. But, for the love of Pete, do not tell me about the SCOAMF, racism, delegate counts, or your burning desire to tell Democrats how you really feel about them.

Filed my first Class Action lawsuit against the trustee of 500 mortgage securitization trusts last Sunday, have 5 new lawyes and new staff members to hire in the next 45 days, and need to expand my office over that time to include the entire second floor of my building.
Soooooooo, taking my last vacation for the next 5 years by going to Cabo tomorrow morning until next Friday with my wife and three kids. I need the break after last month's hazardous medical incidents, and before the Fewmets hit the Windmill in the new cases I am filing.
Yes, I am taking my laptop and phone on vacation with me.

Not an Easter movie whatsoever, but I watched a movie last night that I don't even remember being released in the theaters: The Lincoln Lawyer.
I quite liked it.

@37,
Vacuum sealing is also fun. Especially because they actually shrink smaller after you release the seal again. A friend and I once thought we should sell "Jumbo Peeps" under vacuum seals just to piss people off when they opened them.
Easter, Eh? The Wife and I are heading back to her family's for the first time after we all said our apologies over the last big family spat (that included several "Don't ever talk to me again" statements in there). Should be fairly interesting I suppose. I think everything got worked out, but boy it was ugly for a bit. (And yes, it's allowed in this thread, it was an apolitical fight. If only it had been politics.)
Usually the food doth, suckith at these things (same old Store bought mostacholi, garlic bread and hotwings.) I'm told this year someone decided to buy catered BBQ! (Yay! Changes!)

We had a guy fired for trying to bring a gun in through security. He had been out shooting and stuck it in his bag with his lunch and forgot it was there. Of course the bag set off the metal detector and showed up on the xray machine.
He was led away in handcuffs for violation of federal law. (trying to bring an unauthorized weapon into the protected area of a nuclear power plant.)

My wife loves them. A few years back, I wandered into the local Wal Greens for some half-priced peeps for the wife. The manager made me take them *all*; apparently they weren't selling well. I came home with an entire shopping cart's worth of Peeps. Took her almost a year to eat them. She hasn't asked for Peeps since.
This year, she's out of town and can't control my chocolate intake...

Turns out a lot of the eggs were in a fenced-off area surrounded by a 4 foot high wire fence (too fragile to support an adult) with the entrance on the other side (about a hundred feet away). The obvious thing to do - lift Knucklehead (and his 11 year-old big sister who was carrying the basket for the little guy) over the fence to get to the eggs first while the rest of the kids go the long way around. All the mothers gave me dirty looks, and the fathers just smiled and nodded, and commenced airlifting their kids . Since Knucklehead had enough time to score a few eggs while they figured it out, my daughter said afterwards that she thought of turning saying to the rest of the parents "In Your Face". But luckily, she's got more self-control than I.
Total haul - about 6 eggs with two pieces of chocolate in them each. More than enough sugar to really get the little bugger all wired up for Mom to deal with while I go to the office and work on a paper I'm presenting at a academic-nerd conference next Friday.
Tomorrow, it's off to the RightWingWife's sister's house for Easter Gluttony. She's one of three sisters who are all good cooks, and rumor has it one of them is going to do deviled eggs with bacon pieces (I suggested it thanks to the Moron Horde). So between that, the MegaHam the Mother In Law cooks and all the trimmings, I should be well on the way to food-induced coma in about 24 hours.
Happy Easter to all you twisted puppies we call the regulars. For those who swing that way, tomorrow He is Risen.

I met Ginger Lynn in a strip club in Reading, Pa. She came around the bar and you gave her a dollar and you could chat with her. I asked her if she was still dating Charlie Sheen (she was at the time).

157 116 Oh and ettes? why do chicks destroy the ears first on the chocolate bunnys and leave it in the fridge to become a science experiment?
Maybe it wasn't made out of the 'good' chocolate?.....And all it took was nibbling the ears off, to realize that it was that sort of sugary, fake-tasting, waxy-textured chocolate, that you have to be really hard up for chocolate to eat....so she stashed it away for later?
Just guessing. ....That, um, has never happened to me.
-----
Or.....a partially eaten chocolate bunny in the fridge [if it's the 'good' chocolate], could be an 'emergency chocolate stash'. ...You have to have those.
Just knowing that there is no chocolate in the house....whatsoever....can bring on chocolate cravings. ....Like, really really bad chocolate cravings. So, you have to have a chocolate stash.

This asshole is going over every millimeter of the goddamned place, and looks like he's going to sleep over at the rate he's going. Just our luck to get the ayatollah of inspectors. Where is the guy from Stevie Wonder Inspections, Inc. who inspected it when we bought it, and missed all of the problems, which we have had to fix?

Cabo = Cartel country.
True that. But it doesn't rain 10 months of the year in Cartel country like it does in Seattle, and since I since I have been rained on seemingly endlessly since I moved up here in 1975, I think it is time for some sun.
Even though I will be wearing a bullet proof vest and a kevlar helmet on the beach.

I am a huge sucker for the Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movies although, seriously, Meg Ryan's character in Sleepless in Seattle doesn't look so hot on paper. My favorite Meg Ryan movie is When Harry Met Sally.
A couple of other really good rom-coms are Only the Lonely with John Candy and Return to Me with Mimi Driver.
And, of course, the Hepburn girls are always worth a watch.

1) Glazed Ham
2) Kielbasi
3) Cidek (AKA Hrutka)
4) Deviled eggs
On cold Easters we have mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. On warm Easters (like tomorrow) potato salad and cole slaw along with the four top items.
And, of course, a relish tray of green and black olives, celery stalks, radishes, baby sweet gherkins and scallions.
Fresh horseradish and yellow mustard must be on the table to accompany the meats.
It's time to start boiling the eggs for the deviled eggs and mixing the milk and eggs for the cidek.

Getting ready to sell my house also, and my real estate agent said that with all the mortgage crap and defaults, the lenders are asking the inspectors to use ultra due diligence to ensure that if they (the banks) get stuck with a foreclosure there will be no major building flaws for them to deal with.

He said the same about Smoltz - it wasn't just marketing/show.

Going to my sister's, and as many family as are available will come for dinner, plus a few friends who have no family here in the area. After these types of family get-togethers I always love coming back to my nice, quiet place and the boring solitude of living by myself.
We always do an "egg war," and I never win. Maybe this time!

My single brush with fame was cooking side by side with Regis Philbin during a big grand re-opening event at an upscale homeware store that went out of business shortly there after.
He was cool and funny as hell. It was on the local morning TV news and during breaks we'd run back to the prep kitchen where he'd tell dirty jokes about the blue hairs in the crowd. He was fucking hilarious!

Well as usual this damn family can't have a gathering without some drama. We were supposed to go to my SIL tomorrow but found out another SIL is now coming after saying all week she wasn't. Can't stand to be around her. She spouts bible verse and posts FB shit all day long about her faith, blah, blah but she's biggest hypocrit on the planet. There is some very bad blood between us right now over this stupid condo we are joint owners in that we are trying to sell. She went ballistic on my husband a few weeks ago and that's it. I'm done with her fucking hypocrital ass.
So.. now I am scrambling to come up with an Easter dinner here. Just be me and hubby and my son. Actually I don't mind.. supposed to be nice tomorrow. Think I will clean out my car and do some gardening.

I forgot to mention the Paska bread. Also a must have to serve with dinner. It also makes great ham sandwiches with the leftovers,

Just made some AMAZING potato salad, and will be fixing a brisket tomorrow . . . comfort food, in a way. Too busy with work to travel to my hometown/family for the holiday, so I'm fixing whatever I damn well please for Easter. Brisket and potato salad might be an odd combination, but it's MY combination. Going to stew some rhubarb a bit later - fingers crossed on that one. My first time fixing it, but I love it so . . .

Snagged a pickup full of compost from the township recycling facility this morning. Good stuff, well broken down and still steaming.

Ten Commandments on tonight as it has been ever since they moved it from Easter Sunday several years ago. My folks loved it so I watched it as a kid. Havent missed a telecast since who knows.
Easter lamb on the rotisserie tomorrow. Its soaking in garlic, olive oil, cracked pepper and rosemary right behind me in the fridge. gonna add roasted new potata's and fresh green beans/carrots.
Today's third round of the Masters is pretty exciting if you like golf. Lefty Mickelson is making a big charge and tied for the lead at 7 undah. America's favorite older brother Fred Couples stumbled early but back-to-back birdies has him at -4. Tiger is in the "where are they now?" file.

My husband's grandma made the best strawberry rhubarb pie! Damn....I miss her.

that way, even if they don't get found, you don't have to worry about them spoiling, and it's a nice surprise later in the year when you stumble across them.

"Minor" things that would have been under the threshold a few years ago are now show-stoppers.

Wonderful. Thanks, Dems! That CRA and subprime shit was sheer genius.
The ayatollah inspector finally left after a powwow with the buyers and their realtor, so we just came back. I was about to start charging rent.
No report as yet, so I'm keeping everything crossed (fingers, eyes, balls, the lot) that there's nothing major, expensive, or a pain in the ass to fix. He's probably going to say the lawn needs mowing; he was here long enough for it to grow out.

Ynot, I've been trying for 4 years to decide on drapes for our master bedroom. I can't ever settle on anything. Thank God we have blinds but I am sick of them. I need to get off the dime and do something.

Smite them, Chuck!
Sure, parting the sea is a heck of a scene, but the Passover...pass over can still give me Heebie jeebies. Wonder how soon moderan H'Wood will try to remake that one, all in CG?
Fan to Heston, after a reading: "We've always so enjoyed your work, we named our son after you."
Heston "You named the poor kid Charlton?"
Fan: "Duh, no. We named him Moses!"

Even though I'm not a practicing anything, I do abstain from all meat save fish during the entire Lent -- a weird impulse of my living history proclivities. This year was a little harder than usual since I was also steering clear of cheese and fried foods per doctor's request, which eliminated old fallbacks like french fries and vegetarian-pizza-by-the-slice at the cafeteria for lunch. Just bringing in the leg of lamb destined to be roasted tomorrow, and ohhhhhh I am so looking forward to being a terrestrial carnivore again! Roasted along with new potatoes and onions and (added in the last 5 minutes) whole mushrooms, served forth with asparagus and a spring greens salad tossed with fig balsamic vinegar and olive oil. And for desert two minicakes from an absurdly posh baker, the type that does exquisite wedding cakes for insane prices as his main business, but happens to have a little cafe on the side.
Don't if anybody reads this. Just typing it stokes the happy anticipatory tingles. Meat! MEEEEAT!

I shot a line of skeet with Robert Stack back when I was in high school down in LA.
I am a contractor in the SF bay area so I have gotten to work for a few music industry names: Tom Johnston (doobie bros.), Bob Weir and Phil Lesh of the dead, also Robert Hunter song writer for the dead. My favorite is Tom Waits and his lovely wife Kathleen, very nice people.
Happy Easter and Joyful Passover to all!

Sounds like you need to move to the country. We get into some shooting wars with our neighbors occasionally, but nothing serious.

Stopped for pie at Emerys' on the way back.
Hmmmm. Pie.
Dawn service tomorrow out on the river.

And for my Easter dinner tonight, made crab cakes from scratch, tuna steak and a salad. Dessert is about to be strawberry shortcake. Yum!
