Christmas dinner was great. I'm stuffed. [More:] We had an emergency at Christmas and did not have our turkey. We did not want the bird to get freezer burnt so we had it for dinner tonight. Now there is a big pot of turkey stock simmering on the stove. It smells very nice here.
Merry Christmas, arse_hat.

That sounds great, i wish i had a stuffed turkey with gravy.
i would even gesture for you with the whole leg, in a style that begs for tankards of ale.

Good god the price of everything sucks right now.

It's weird; I was just talking about how I celebrated Easter as a kid on another forum:

Christmas in my youth (in Buffalo) was American, but Easter in my family was very, very Polish. Easter breakfast was eaten out of a blessed Easter basket with ham and a butter lamb and Easter eggs what we colored ourselves and placek. As a kid, I wasn't fond of any of that stuff, but on Easter morning it was a treat.

And then I come over here are read about Christmas dinner?

Last week I defrosted a portion of my mom's amazing Thanksgiving stuffing and ate it. It was so awesome and so oddly incongruous in early spring. That sagey, buttery taste says MOM THANKSGIVING so loudly that I couldn't reconcile it; it was a little like smelling a fragrance your ex used to wear and feeling oddly displaced.

P.S. Is a "butter lamb" a lamb made out of butter, or lamb cooked with butter somehow?

Whatever it is, Miko, I must adopt it as a term of endearment.

I'm glad you had your Christmas dinner, butter lamb. Hope everything is going as well as can be expected.

So weird. Yesterday I was thinking to myself, "God. For some reason I could really use some turkey and stuffing right now."

I never crave these things. NEVER. I must have been unknowingly thinking of you, arse_hat. Happy Boxing Day!

(What IS Boxing Day?)

Doohickie!!! My family does a very Polish Easter too, including the butter lamb and placek. (We also sometimes make chalka, which is a sweet eggy braided bread similar to Jewish challah.)

Yay for Polish Easter food.

P.S. A butter lamb is exactly what it sounds like. Butter shaped like a lamb. Back when we lived in Buffalo, going to Broadway Market to get the butter lamb and kielbasa and other foods was a big part of our Easter tradition.

We never had the butter lamb. We did have the lamb cake, however, complete with jelly beans and easter-basket grass.
