Just thought I’d wish everyone a Happy Easter! I never thought I’d have snow on Easter in the Dallas area. Perhaps we should cancel the Great Vigil for Easter and replace it with Midnight Mass? ---

Well, dang it, leave it to the atheist to say thanks, and to wish you a happy Easter in return. Off to prepare the Easter baskets… ---

I’m an atheist in Fort Worth, and I’m amazed at having snow on Easter too. Remember when we had a white Valentine’s Day? That was…odd. ---

HAPPY EASTER!!! And Passover greetings to those who are celebrating. Other holidays we’re missing? Snow for Easter in Columbus is weird, too. Everything we normally do outdoors was indoors. Blessing of the palms with two other churches last Sunday: indoors due to rain. Easter Vigil fire: indoors due to snow and general cold. It’s not accumulating, but it’s very peculiar. And, due to picky eaters in the family, our dinner will be very Thanksgiving-like. Only thing missing is the cranberry sauce. I could conjure some up quickly, though, cuz I have some cranberries in the freezer. GT ---

[QUOTE=gardentraveler] HAPPY EASTER!!! And Passover greetings to those who are celebrating. Other holidays we’re missing? [/QUOTE] [Happy Birthday to the Sultan of Johor](http://www.earthcalendar.net/_php/lookup.php?mode=date&m=04&d=08&y=2007)! Malaysia is very happy you haven’t died yet. 😃 S’all I got. Equinox was weeks ago and Beltane’s not for another 3 long weeks. For once, we pagans are without a reason to celebrate. Mind if we borrow our bunnies and colored eggs back for the day and join you in the non-Jesusy parts of Easter? While I’m at it, I’m whipping up some charoset just 'cause it looks so yummy. Thanks! > [@](#): > > Only thing missing is the cranberry sauce. I could conjure some up quickly, though, cuz I have some cranberries in the freezer. Dude, you should totally try some charoset, instead. I mean, doesn’t this look AWESOME?: ``` * 4 medium apples, 2 tart and 2 sweet * 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds * 1/4 cup sweet wine * 1/4 cup dry wine * 1 Tbs. cinnamon ``` Shred the apples. Add all other ingredients. Allow to sit for 3-6 hours, until the wine is absorbed by the other ingredients. Serve on matzah. Goes very well with horseradish. From [here.](http://www.jewfaq.org/holidaya.htm) **Happy Easter and Blessed Pesach, everyone (to whom it applies)!** ---
