What's your plan for Easter?

**wobblypops** · 03-27-2013, 11:58 AM

I have to work. We don't recognize Easter, Good Friday as a holiday. I was suppose to have Friday off as part as my regular schedule but I switched so a guy on the other night crew could have off without taking a PTO day.

I wish I wouldn't have switched. I have to go in tonight, have off Thursday, work Friday, have off Saturday & then I do my regular hours which next week is my rough week. Sunday, Monday, Thurs, Fri, Saturday night. Ugggggggggg

I wish I could make a nice Easter dinner but I can't so let me live through your holiday & tell me what you do to celebrate!

I'm staying home and cooking dinner, I know there will be ham but haven't decided yet what I am making to go with it.
Probably mashed taters, green beans, and whatever else I decide to make.
That stinks you have to work on Easter.

We'll be having dinner at my sisters house.
I'm feeling rather Easter-ish this year, so I might make Easter baskets for everyone!

You have to make potato filling not plain ole mashed potatoes.

I wish I had a kid to make up a basket.

We're going to color eggs on Saturday then do the usual... go to in-laws, hide eggs for the kids, fly kites and eat. A lot!

We always fly kites on Easter, kind of a tradition for us but this year the weather is supposed to be so cold. :P

I love kites. I haven't flown one since I been a kid. It's been a little while since I did an egg hunt. Maybe 10 years or so.

Kite flying, that's an interesting Easter tradition. I like it.

I don't care for potato filling, so that isn't something we eat. I've changed my mind though I am going to make homemade mac and cheese instead of taters.
We are dying eggs Sat with the granddaughter, she went on a egg hunt last Sun but we always do one at the house for her on Easter Sunday.

What is potato filling? Mashed potatoes?

**Eyore** · 03-28-2013, 07:57 AM

I don't make it so I'm not exactly sure how it is made, but I know it is made from mashed taters, I believe onions are in it, and it is baked in the oven.
I don't think I care for them because I think it changes the taters some when they are baked. I've tried them from several different people making them and I just don't care for them.
Wobblypops can probably tell you more on how they are made. I think it is a PA Dutch thing.

We're making chicken and dressing, green beans, gravy, rolls and banana pudding. It'll just be me and my husband. I wish I knew some kids I could watch hunt eggs and make baskets for. I really miss that. When I was younger we'd color and hide 12 dozen eggs. The kids would find them then spend hours afterwards hiding them over again and finding them.
