happy_easter raze i hope you're surrounded by good people and all the most delicious things. (and bunnies, of course.) 220417 ... tender_square today i am going on an easter egg hunt with my thirty-five-year-old sister and i can't fucking wait. i've been eating pillsbury sugar cookies stamped with deformed rabbit faces for two days, repeatedly yelling "bunny/lapin" from the words on the box. happy easter to you all, my loves. 220417 ... epitome of incomprehensibility Happy Easter! The sociolinguistics prof, the one I'm working for this term and the only person who regularly texts me, sent this message today: Happy Easter / Chag kasher v'sameach / Ramadan Mubarak I was at the lakeshore, sitting on a swing chair with Lia, while my brother was leading the dog to water. I showed her the message. From the context, I said, the second one must be something about Passover. She was at a Passover seder with her other cousins yesterday. She squinted. "No, no, I don't think so." "No, I'm sure! Look, 'kasher' looks like 'kosher', right?" But she didn't know it, so I showed it to our resident Hebrew expert when we were home. He told me I was pronouncing the first sound wrong, but was too busy to decipher it all. Prof. Google says it's literally "happy kosher holiday." Which reminds me how Y. insisted on asking Lia to describe everything she had to eat. And with our supper, let's just pretend the peaches on the ham made it kosher. (Weird that I had a dream involving iced_curry_peaches once. It must be a reference to Mom's favourite Easter recipe, although the peaches aren't necessarily cold.) Peaches with ham and a sort of curry-ish sauce beats pineapple with ham any day! And yes, this is the hill I'll talk about cooked fruit on. Anyway, I didn't know what to answer Jacqueline, but I went with "Thanks! You too." 220417 ... raze i hope everyone's been having a good long_weekend. 230410 ... e_o_i Same to you and y'all! And/or Passover, Nowruz, belated Spring Solstice, in-advance end of Ramadan. Or just having an extra day off, if you had that. Food-wise, the Incomprehensibility family chickened out yesterday with Chalet BBQ takeout. (The power had been off for three days because of the ice storm, so we had an excuse. Thankfully it returned on Saturday afternoon, the day before Lia came over.) tender_square, I know that was last year, but hell yeah! I would have loved an Easter egg hunt. 230410 what's it to you? who go blather from
