Happy Easter!

Today it rained and rained and rained.

In the morning I went to mass at an adorable white clapboard church. Maybe 120 folks, and the place was jam-packed — one row of extra foldable chairs set up in the aisle, and barely enough room to walk. A fire-hazard for sure, but it was nice to be there and be sitting so close to the person next to me on a holiday that I love so much.

As called for by the occasion and the weather, I used the inside time as an excuse for a cooking extravaganza.

… try number two with the muffins

… then yogurt from Heritage Farms’ Raw Milk

… next feeding my sourdough starter

… deviled eggs

and finally spinach paratha from Julie Saini’s awesome cookbook…

And then, around 6, we went up to the farmhouse for dinner with Peter and Susan where I got to enjoy my very first Synergy chicken. Peter and Colin got down to the talk about political economy and complexity and I threw in my two cents about ethnomathematics.

Back to the watertower in time for a nice chat with my lovely cousins.

A pleasant, pleasant evening overall.
