Your childhood Easter reads a lot like mine...in fact, practically identical, except that you are in the States and I'm in Canada.

But what happened between then and now? No one here seems remotely interested in a traditional Easter dinner and celebration, although they did some years ago when they were younger. I did splash out on some chocolate bunnies and the like, but as for dinner...if anyone wants anything last minute, we have a chicken I could roast. :)

Okay, your ham recipe looks delicious. :)

I like the new icon. The colours are quite arresting. XD

Yes, Easter seems to be getting less elaborate, though I know a lot more people who do stuff for Lent, like fasting during the day (between 6 am-6 pm, anyway) or giving stuff up. T has NEVER been interested in coloring eggs, which was my sisters' and my idea of heaven. We LOVED the whole egg design and decoration thing.

It smells very good in the oven!

I like bright colors, in case you hadn't noticed ;-) My wardrobe is half black and neutrals and half NEON. That's pretty much my personality, too.

I like this very much. And I do like your new icon.

We don't celebrate Easter, though my MIL always tries to have some candy in plastic eggs for the kids, so I try to make something nice for dinner, which I did. Heh.

One of these days I'll figure out the difference between all the ham things and make one of these recipes. Ham deeply confuses me.

It's just that I have an extreme personality :-)

Ham is indeed very confusing! Fresh ham is basically pork butt. It's the cured/smoked hams that are pink. This nugget of info is what has gotten me to where I am now.

We've never really done anything for Easter, and the egg side of it got less appealing as we grew up, but I still enjoy indulging a little. Cadbury's make such nice goodies. :-) Glad you had a lovely Easter weekend!

New icon is very pretty! There's an interesting contrast between the colours in the centre and those round the edge.

when you changed your username? o_O

my Easter when I was a child was much elaborate too... but now tradition is lacking and I don't have the strenght (and the appetite) to bring back some good memories about it...
