Re: Holiday week poll
my husband and i celebrate easter by attending early morning mass and then spending the rest of the day with our families. this year we are doing family pictures after church with my side of the family up by my parents house. my favorite candy is a culmunation of three things: the milk chocolate robin eggs (powder coated not the glossy coated ones), cadbury cream eggs and reese peanut butter eggs (i swear they taste different than a pb cup!) i'm excited because we gave up sweets for lent and i'll get to have my first piece of chocolate in 40 days on sunday!
hmmm dessert: perhaps a pie? eclair pie?
i'm currently reading "love in the time of cholera" from my book club.
Do you celebrate Easter? Usually.
If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home? Usually at one of our parents' houses (one year we went on vacation).
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)? I love reeses peanut butter cups and cadbury eggs.
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make? Last year I made two cheesecakes and Easter bunny basket cupcakes for the kids. They were very cute if you'll have children around.
Bonus: What are you reading right now? Finishing up Mockingjay.Do you celebrate Easter? Yep. Easter is my favorite holiday.
If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home? Since I don't live near family, DH and I just celebrate on our own at home. This year, we're going to Easter Vigil on Saturday evening, and then Sunday will be spent cooking.
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)? Robin's Eggs, Cadbury Cream Eggs, Peanut Butter Eggs, Jelly Beans... lol
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make? I'm baking a banana cream pie. In previous years, I've made homemade strawberry shortcake (recipe on the back of the Bisquick box).
Bonus: What are you reading right now? Nothing... and I need to find a new book by May 1 before my business trip. So I'm interested in suggestions for some good reading.Yes, we celebrate Easter. Usually with my parents, but this year we're going to my ILs in MA. We're leaving Thursday night and I'm spending Friday and Saturday with my MIL while H goes to a convention in Boston. Sunday H and I are going to Mass, and then we're having dinner with my BILs, my SIL, my BIL's girlfriend, and H's grandparents. I can't wait to see them.
My favorite candy is Cadbury Mini-Eggs.
I'm re-reading Memoirs of a Geisha.

If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home? Go to Church then we will be at H's parents for lunch and mine after for an easter egg hunt with my nephews!
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)? Nothing in particular, I guess a chocolate bunny
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make? Banana Cream Pie or Lemon Meringue Pie
Bonus: What are you reading right now? Nada!!
Do you celebrate Easter? Yes.
If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home? I like to go to mass on Saturday night. DH does not (he's fine with going to church on Christmas, but for some reason not on Easter), but he's already agreed to it this year. My family used to go to a Persian restaurant because they do a good lamb shank there, and we have joined them or gone to a friend's home. This year it's at our place.
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)? I'm not really a candy person, but I occasionally eat dark chocolate.
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make? My family traditionally has an almond torte for Easter, and I will be keeping up that tradition. I'm also making a Turkish coffee cake because it's my dad's favorite. Both will be topped with fresh berries. I love fruit desserts for Easter because they suggest spring and look colorful. If I could have dairy, I'd do a berry shortcake or charlotte.
Bonus: What are you reading right now? I just finished Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. It was pretty entertaining.Do you celebrate Easter? If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home? Yes. I'm going to my parents house and will go to church with them. (I go when I'm in town... don't have a church where D and I live.) We'll probably cook something, but nothing special.
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)? I like chocolate.... not really Easter candy,
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make? One year, my mom made a bunny cake. It was adorable. She baked two 9" rounds. One was the face. Then, on the other, she cut it into three pieces - two for the ears (ear-shaped, as you can imagine) and then the remaining piece that was between the two ears became the bow tie. She just frosted it with regular frosting - nothing fancy - but it was adorable. (Not trying to say Easter is all about Easter Bunnies and eggs or anything!)
Bonus: What are you reading right now? I just bought/downloaded One for the Money but haven't gotten past chapter one.
Do you celebrate Easter?
Yes!
If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home?
We're adjusting traditions this year thanks to being newlyweds.
Hubby and I will spend some time just me and him. This past Sunday we attended Palm Sunday Mass. Thursday, we plan on attending Holy Thursday Mass. Friday is a big deal to Hubby - we'll attend the Good Friday veneration of the cross service. Then, H really wants to do the Easter vigil Sat night... we'll be pretty tired by then, I think! We'll sleep in, and Sunday afternoon we'll have family time at my dad's with my twin, her hubby, our stepsibs and nieces and nephews. Then we'll (try) to visit with dh's fam.
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)?
Dark chocolate and almonds together make me happy.
I also love Snickers and Reeses anything.
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make?
Hmmm... something springy and light like maybe a lemon-y dessert? I just feel like Spring is in the air.
Bonus: What are you reading right now?
A fertility textbook. And slowly making my way through several other reads that are all very serious and nonfiction in nature lol. I really need to find a fun, fiction novel to bring happiness back to my reading.
Do you celebrate Easter? Yes we do.
If so, where do you go, or do you celebrate at home? We will be driving down to Houston to see my family and attend service at my church there on Sunday morning.
What is your favorite kind of candy (doesn't have to be Easter candy)? It's a tie between snickers and peanut m&m's.
I'm baking a dessert for Easter this year, suggestions as to what I should make? I don't know what to call them, but they are similar to rice krispie treats only instead of rice krispies & marshmallows you use frosted flakes and melted milky way bars. Put them in little mini baking cups and let them set. Sooo good!
