Okay, I see the thread is at 100 posts already, so I can't claim this as my contribution on the way to 100 posts. But I do have a couple of remarks on this Easter Sunday.
First, a garlic remark as against the Food Network stars. If they are using real garlic, you will see them put a clove under a wide knife, then "hammer" the knife with a closed fist. I know that's not literally a hammer, but darn if it doesn't make the skin easy to separate from the meat!
As for the meaning of Easter, I am reminded of my dear departed father's remarks that Jesus Christ is the only religious figure who claimed he was God. I don't know if dad picked that up from CS Lewis, or exactly how he came to that particular notice, but he did make a point of expressing just how radical that was and is. My point in bringing it up is to assert that Christianity is special, it is different, and I daresay it is better - it is the divine truth, at least it is to those who have faith.
Happy blessed Easter to my fellow Christians! Just plain old Happy Sunday to the rest of you.
I think I’m going to have to get one of these wide-knife thing.
Which is why I used the hammer.
It worked but rather messy.
Happy Easter to you as well.
