Enjoy your time "away" :)

We're off to Montreal to watch the Blue Jays play baseball at the Big O (or Big Owe depending on who you talk to). I would rather stay at home and stay in my blanket fort but Mr Me really is looking forward to this so off I go.
 
I haven't been to MOntreal for a while, JustMe. I have a friend that goes fairly regularly. I understand preferring to stay at home with your comfy blanket, but, hoping you can enjoy your time with your spouse.

How about we set up the comfy couch and cozy chair with blankets here that you can pop pinto visit when you need to while you are away. Cp of tea always ready.
 
We'll have Good Friday supper tomorrow night with my oldest sister Kae and her family . The traditional Easter meal of turkey with all the trimmings.

I think turkey is pretty traditional too.

Thanks everyone! Should be fun. I usually give my parents more of a heads up, last night they had the call of can you have dinner on Sunday? We aren't sleeping there though, so they don't need to clear out some space in a room.

Turkey is for Thanksgiving and Christmas . However, sister Kae bought turkey . What can I do? If it were up to me, we'd be having fish .

Fish would be more traditional for Good Friday, definitely.

Ham, lamb & turkey all seem like traditional Easter choices to me. We are going with ham this year. And those wonderful potatoes you make from frozen hash browns.

Nothing is traditional about turkey for Easter paradox3. Turkey for Easter is as traditional as macaroni and cheese for Christmas .
 
Okay, Let's go back to Passover.

Lamb then. That is the traditional choice.

When did ham enter the picture?

(Just had to check which thread I am on. I was about to make a LAST comment.)
 
I've never actually heard of anyone having lamb for Easter, although it still sounds traditional. I found lamb was much more common out East when I was there.
Chemguy and I both like it, although neither of a parents made it, so he's uncomfortable cooking it. Maybe I can convince him to do it for Easter sometime.
 
Mr Paradox never liked lamb until he tried marinating lamb chops in red wine and herbs. He still wouldn't be too interested in a leg of lamb.
 
My neighbors on one side are Greek Orthodox Christians. Every year they roast a lovely whole lamb over a fire in their garage. Then extended family come over :) and they feast.
 
Mrs. M dislikes both lamb and mutton so we don't eat them. I do like them so I'll grab some every now and then when we are travelling.
 
oooo ... now I've got visions of ham, and lamb dancing in my head! Our Easter feast will be vegetarian & vegan ... lots of good stuff, but oooo.... for a good slice of ham!!

You can have my serving. I know my in-laws are having ham, but I won't be eating it. They will kindly cook some chicken for me and my BIL :)
 
OK food for Easter-Lamb is traditional at Passover-anyone else ever participated in a Seder supper?
Ham is not eaten by Jews observing the dietary laws. It has found its way into Easter.
Turkey is also easy to feed a crowd.

Many Catholics (and some Anglicans) will not eat meat on Good Friday.

Our Feast day will be friday and we will have a leg of lamb roasted with mint.
