Probably watching some Red Sox spring training baseball and eating bad (as in, bad for me) food. Like most weekends.

Eating sweets and playing Assassin's Creed games

Which one?

On good Friday I wanted to have a hot dog in accordance with Discordian tradition.  However, my local hot dog place wasn't open, so I had a hot dog on Saturday instead (I'm sure Eris will forgive me).  As for today (Easter Sunday) can you believe that when I opened my sock drawer I found that a goldfish hadn't left me a Lincoln log?

I managed to pick up Revelations and III, along with Farcry 3, all for a fiver. This is what I've been waiting for, the price drop! Sadly revelations is scratched and won't load, so I'll have to take that back for another. In the mean time I've started on III. Seems good so far! A bit weird since I've already been through IV, but I've yet to play an AC game I don't like.

Killed 2 people so far and listened to a bunch of people saying stuff I think I'm about to get to a town. I thought I was meant to be a young kid or something, I appear to be some middle age toff. I'll probably die or switch perspectives in a minute.

I love Revelations. If you can get a working copy, that's one of the best in the franchise.

I'm playing Syndicate right now. I'm glad Ubisoft is taking a year off before they put out another. It's time to reinvent the franchise.

He taught Mom how to do the dinner before he and his wife left for Turkey in the early 70s (they came and went a lot before settling in Nebraska).  I began making this dinner for Easter when I  left Colorado for law school in the 80s.  Halis died four years ago,  but I still make his dinner.  Our daughters think it's what everyone has for Easter.  My husband converted years ago.

It's a fine spring feast.

I made the borek and the baclava yesterday.   We will be a small group this year. Only one daughter as our eldest is off at college and no guests as we are renovating the house and much of it lacks sheet rock, or flooring over the particleboard.

Can you please take a picture of this food? Your meal sounds wonderful.

We hide easter eggs for the kids to find. They LOVE hunting Easter Eggs. Even after they're done hunting eggs with candy in them, they'll re-hide them and try to find them even without the candy.

This afternoon we'll send them to their Grandfather's house to hunt easter eggs with their cousins. During which time my husband and I will have some nice quality alone time with a pair of bunny ears and some chocolate. Which is my favorite part of easter.
