Not dead yet...

I am still around, just up to my eyes in Easter prep already. Mostly butter lambs, but I'm also trying to find a decent paska recipe, and my aunt Mame is in town for a few days. We went to an English Country Dance workshop yesterday, and it was fabulous! So much fun!

I have to go get the current lamb out of the freezer and refill the mold again...

It's a Ukrainian/Slovak/Polish thing. Easter is the biggest holiday of the year culturally and religiously, and there are a butt ton of little traditions.

What we do with the butter lambs is pack them in an easter basket along w all the food for dinner, cover it w an embroidered cloth, and haul it took church. There is singing and much flinging about of holy water, then we haul it all home again and eat it.
