Will you make interesting Easter food?

There's a considerable Jewish community in Des Moines...you could always go to a community event!

Good idea but too far from here. I used to live in a large Jewish community in Seattle which was Seward Park neighborhood. I loved the area. :)
 
Somehow I thought you were in DSM like Botts...where in Iowa are you?
There's Waterloo, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids...they all have Jewish communities.
 
:lol:

But you do the egg hunt?

Some families like having a huge Easter dinner...it's definitely a thing where I grew up in Iowa.

We do a big Easter dinner and we used to do the egg hunt. I also used to do a lot of baking and special stuff for Easter, but between the kids growing up, money woes, special diets and all, we will just opt for the Easter dinner. Mother and I want lamb, but MIL wants ham. She hates lamb. Not sure what we will do. A man from the Farmer's Market has said that I need to come see him and his friend who owns the Jewish bakery and they will fix us up for a price.

Oh...you said you "never" did any special stuff for Easter because it as about the Bible and church...*shrugs*

Your loss!

*books tickets for Passover*

I guess what I meant was I never made a special something like the treat that Botti was showing. I have done Easter egg hunts in our 2 acre yard we used to have for the kids. I remember hiding close to 200-300 eggs and one special egg for each kid. Those eggs had a ticket they gave to me for their new bibles. We started that when they were 3 & 4 and continued until they were 12 & 13. Now, all they want is the candy, but I don't like giving them candy and such. Mother has picked up some Peeps. We go whole hog for Christmas around here.

What are you making? I miss having Passover, my family does not get together any more now that our parents are gone. We where good friends with our next door neighbor growing . One Easter the little girl came over and asked my dad what he was cooking and my dad being a tease told her he was cooking
a Kosher ham!! She when home and told her dad we where having a Kosher ham for Easter and he told her there no such thing a Kosher ham!! We celebrated Easter and Passover!
 
I'm not religious, but like many people on here I will not pass up the opportunity for good food :) I like the Cadbury creme eggs (and the caramel ones too) and I'll also happily eat the cadbury candy-covered chocolate eggs. (I can't remember what they're called, but they are small chocolate eggs have a smooth outer surface unlike any other candy I've ever tried!) Oh yeah, malted robins' eggs, too. I also will usually have peeps once or twice around this time of year -- they're not my favourite though.

Really, I dig both Easter and Valentines day -- lots of sweets at the store ;)

I'm going to my mom and sister's house...I don't know what they are cooking, but I suspect Lori and I will make a flourless chocolate torte since Imma is known for her Cantor/singing skills...not baking.
 
If I celebrated Easter and my goal was to get tickets for a Bible instead of candy...I'd convert to Judaism...

:giggle:
 
Ah, but those 200-300 eggs were filled with candy. We also had the chocolate bunnies in the house.
 
ooooooooooooooooh well yes if you gave me enough CANDY I may read the Bible...
 
Each year was different. They only got the bibles as their reading level progressed. We had the toddler bibles filled with pictures to start. I still have all of them saved. (I am a MAJOR pack-rat) Kids got new bibles for their last Easter in Missouri (2009) and at that point, they got the one of their choice. Son chose a KVJ, red letter edition, and daughter went with NIV.

I'm in Waterloo, Iowa right now. I prefer Seattle, though. I'm not a fan of Iowa haha. I moved here because of my girlfriend. :lol:
 
I'm just curious...I've had my Tenach forever...it's...well, there's no reason to update. Plus I paid $60.
