.So, yesterday I was pondering what to cook for orthodox Easter. Then I made a list of ingredients I would need and now I can't see my desk from under the pile of lists (it's only one, but I had to remake it lots).
I also bought egg dye now because once the Catholic Easter is gone, so will be all the Easter themed things.
I got an Osterhase for my roommate, I hope she will like it. Well, it's better than getting nothing, which is exactly what you get here if you're not a child anymore.
Hmmm, I decided for a Fanta Cake (but I'll make it with nice orange juice), some cat-shaped nut and pistachio pralines, two kinds of muffins with two kinds of cream, some pork roast and some sarmale. Some pickled cabbage leaves would have been grand.
I will have to get creative and find a way to replicate the taste without the pickled cabbage and without the nice meats that go into sarmale.Hmmm, there's a challenge for me.
This is the first year when I do not spend Easter with my family... It is colossally sad, but I do not want to think about it. After all, it's what I worked for, right?
Also, last night there was LOTR: TTT on tv and I felt so strange watching it, especially when Aragorn holds Haldir when he dies, my mind supplied the line for Aragorn: "Fare thee and thine bouncy cock well. May you dangle forever freely in the halls of Mandos."
Craig Parker, you bad boy, now I will never be able to watch Haldir without being impressed, or Darken Rahl without being disappointed (I always thought villans had dongs with tattoos and silver etchings on them and if any villain would rock that, it would be Darken Rahl.)
