You are even ahead of me who will celebrate Easter before all of you. 
I am not that organised this year. I will roll with the flow.

You have given me an idea for lamb chops.

Nothing upset my militantly Protestant family so much as when I actually did become an authentic Protestant. (That excludes my sister. She was a covert Catholic sympathizer via her infatuation with Mexico and Latin America generally.)

Anyway, not lamb or ham, but Tex-Mex which I am craving.

My Mom would prepare either lamb or ham... I love both; but don't know yet what I'll prepare.  I'm leaning towards a couple lamb chops with mint jelly.  They're very expensive, but I figure that I can treat myself, once a year, on this special occasion.

That's funny. God bless Rebecca. I also eat at my sister's restaurant when I go home.
