Who needs a reason? They're CHOCOLATE, isn't that reason enough?

Okay, Christmas/Chanukah/Hannukah/Kwanzaa is almost over. We still

to get through Hogmanay (happy new year!). After that there isn't
anything to really celebrate, unless you count Valentines Day... For
that, bake two round cakes... cut one in half and wrap it around the
other
round cake to form a heart. Frost it. Put some halved strawberries
on
the top. Say "I love you" and you're done.

Now, we're up to Easter.

WHAT???

You forgot Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, Martin Luther King's
Birthday,
Groundhog Day, President's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and the Ides of
March.
And with a bit more effort, I'm sure I could find at least
half-a-dozen more
reasons to celebrate between Christmas and Easter.

What is Groundhog day please?

I could tell you that it's the one day of the year that everyone eats
groundhog, but...

Easter is observed on the Sunday after the first full moon on or
after the day of the vernal equinox. A holdover from the Jewish
calendar, I assume.

So..........
You don't know either eh?

Ken.

Is that incorrect? I checked wikipedia, to be sure, but someone may
have posted incorrect information.

saerah

Just add a 🙂 to my post.

Oh dear... the problem is some people believe a ground hog (which is a small
furry animal) can tell if it will be a cold winter. So they sit and wait
for this critter to come outside and see if it will see its shadow. If it
does, it fortells 6 more weeks of winter. The "official" ground hog is
known as Punxsutaney Phil

http://www.punxsutawneyphil.com/

He can tell the weather... um... yeah, right. I can tell you if it will be
cold and when I'm baking scones. That would be this morning 🙂

No, it's not a celebration; it's letting a wild animal predict the weather.
They are better at it than the men they pay on local television 😉 I would
rather the darned cute buck-teethed groundhog not see his shadow and let
winter go away.

It's pouring down rain here on Christmas Eve. I need to go to the store to
buy onions (or maybe shallots), celery and garlic to add to the cornbread
dressing I'm making tomorrow with the cornish game hens. And ingredients
for hollandaise sauce for the broccoli.

Happy Holidays!

Now, we're up to Easter. April. Probably. You never know. No one really
knows when Easter is. Okay. Boil some eggs. You don't want soft boiled
eggs, which OB food: are delicious for breakfast with a little butter, salt
& pepper. Serve with buttered wheat toast to sop up the egg yolk.

But no, for this you want hard boiled eggs. Dip them in weird dye stuff to
change the colour of the shells. (Be sure to criticize people who do the
same thing to their hair. Blue?! Purple?!) If you want to get really cool
with this, attach funny stickers or sprinkle them with glue and glitter
sparkles.

Egg dying is the "funnest" part. When my kids were small, we started
dying eggs weeks in advance. Every time I bought a dozen eggs, we'd
dye them. Yes, we dyed raw eggs and had colorful eggs in the
refrigerator for a few weeks before Easter.
