Well, anything interesting?

Oh look, someone's already voted.

Oh, I'm eating chocolate.

I'm going to melt down my easter eggs and put the products into a pie.

Whàt?

Eat chocolate and try and break my record for the number of times I masturbated in one day. Yup, I'm gonna spend Easter Sunday shaking hands with the bishop.

Going to the pub each night from Friday to Sunday (inclusive). Luckily, the vast majority of them remain open here.

well, I am going to church in the morning (got to be there at 7:30a to work the early service nursery, then teach a Sunday school class, then sing in the choir at late service) then, I am going to my inlaws for Easter Brunch, then we are going to rent a movie and have movie day.

Saturday night we are making cookies.

To be made the evening before Easter.

You will need:

1 cup whole pecans
1 tsp. vinegar
3 egg whites
pinch salt
1 cup sugar
zipper baggie
wooden spoon
tape
Bible

Preheat oven to 300. (Be sure to do this now, not half-way through!)

Place pecans in zipper baggie and let children beat them with the wooden spoon to break into small pieces.

Explain that after Jesus was arrested, He was beaten by the Roman soldiers.
Read John 19:1-3.

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 tsp. vinegar into mixing bowl.

Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross He was given vinegar to drink.
Read John 19:28-30.

Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life.

Explain that Jesus gave His life to give us life.
Read John 10:10-11.

Sprinkle a little salt into each child's hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest into the bowl.

Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus' followers, and the bitterness of our own sin.
Read Luke 23:27.

So far the ingredients are not very appetizing.
Add 1 cup sugar.

Explain that the sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to know and belong to Him.
Read Psalms 34:8 and John 3:16

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed.

Explain that the color white represents the purity in God's eyes of those whose sins have been cleansed by Jesus.
Read Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3.

Fold in broken pecans. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper covered cookie sheet.

Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus' body was laid.
Read Matthew 27:57-60.

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.

Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door.

Explain that Jesus' tomb was sealed.
Read Matthew 27:65-66.

GO TO BED!

Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight. Jesus' followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed.
Read John 16:20 and 22.

On Easter morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow!

On the first Easter Jesus' followers were amazed to find the tomb open and empty.
Read Matthew 28:1-9.

Good luck with that.

I guess you're getting wasted then? :p

the day after easter, im going to the grocery store and buying a bunch of chocolate on sale.

yumm, chocolate....

Celebrating my birthday, actually.

I guess you're getting wasted then? :p
Well, you know. I'm studying biology, so I'll change my coursework from the effect of Potassium Nitrate on daphnia to the effect of alcohol on thr human liver. Two birds with one stone!

I thought I might nail a christian to a tree. Then get his friends to eat him.

Or perhaps I'll just have a chocolate bunny. I'm undecided.

Writing my dissertation, getting riotously drunk, studying for finals, and eating far too much chocolate. All at the same time.

It's going to be a damn good dissertation.

I'm going over to my sister's house with candy for my 2 nieces and nephew. I'll get them all wound up and filled with sweets, then leave my sister and brother-in-law to deal with them. :D

being resurrected.

Whàt?

Melt down easter eggs.

Pour into hole.

Seal the hole.

Bake.

Eat after cooling.

But easter eggs are rather expensive per gramme of chocolate.

I'll be heading to my mom's apartment in Berlin. :D
She and my little brother will be heading for the Grandparents though, and I'll be meeting up with friends and getting a carton of vla and a box of hagelslag! :)

Get some of those caramelised letter biscuits as well.Stroop waffles? Can't. The person I'm getting the stuff from is already back in Germany. I suppose I'm the only person I know that prefers vla and hagelslag to stroop waffles, though.

seeing glitz on the saturday, home on the sunday, and probably back to work or being forced to do DIY on the bank holiday days.

one good day at least then
and at least there'll be chocolate.

I'm making beer bread and drinks for the people coming over. Ye ye, mommy lets me make alcoholic drinks, for others, but somehow I always end up wasted. I wonder how that is..:p

It's an Easter miracle!

Baked for Palm Sunday, am going to see "The Drowsy Chaperone" on Broadway on Good Friday (yeah, yeah, I know...), marking papers on Saturday, going to Easter Breakfast/church services with my friends Sunday morning, going to my brother and sister-in-laws to spend a very boisterous Italian Easter dinner, and driving to Maryland on Monday morning to spend the week.

Just a wee bit busy, no?
