lamb is the traditional choice for easter dinner, and i’m all about tradition (despite the whole atheism thing).  mostly because i happen to love lamb.  also, perse balked at my suggestion of serving rabbit, stuffed with hard-boiled eggs.  when you think about it though, why is lamb traditional?  well, jesus was the lamb of god, so naturally when celebrating the merging of his ressurection with that of pagan fertility rites and various other spring ressurection myths, it makes sense to symbolically eat jesus.  because, as with the whole communion thing, christianity is all about cannibalism.Â

here’s hoping your thanksgiving dinner was as tasty as ours!

it’s not condo fees.  it’s not having no yard.  it’s not even the petty jackasses who pettition management to have your car towed cause they think your back seat is too dirty.

no, it’s that it’s 72°F outside right now.  at 1 in the fucking am.  and i’m in shorts, sweating.  why?  because the dimwits have never heard of weather forecasts, and switched the AC to heat last week.  seriously, i know that highs in the 80s is not normal for october.  but that’s what the past week has been.  right now it’s humid, hot and sticky.  i feel like i’m in florida.   with no AC.

granted, roasting a chicken tonight probably didn’t help matters, heatwise.  but that’s beside the point.  it’s still bloody hot.

since i’m waiting for the potatoes to cook some, before i begin on the rest of the meal, i’ve decided to share what i’m making for dinner:

• roasted baby yukon gold potatoes
• fiddleheads, morels and chanterelles sauteed in butter w/shallots and sage
• ny strip w/welsh oak smoked sea salt

perse is in charge of dessert, which is fresh berries, shortcake and marscapone whipped cream.
