dave was just saying that he has never, ever heard of having lamb-shaped cake for dessert on zombie day easter. anyone have thoughts on that tradition? is it just a chicagoland thing? or is it common elsewhere ?

My mom did it but she did live in Chicago for quite a while. I probably still have the pans around here somewhere in one of the boxes of stuff I have no use for but can't throw away.

It's pretty popular in the Cleveland area. Usually with a coconut type icing, to make it look "fleecy".

I went out with a girl all thru high school and it was a big deal for her family. Along with a creamed potato dish that was great but I never got the recipe for.

Hah!

Mrs. Islander's mom is suddenly very concerned that we aren't going to church on Easter (never have, and her family never did either). After much back and forth on the subject she relented, but said "you should at least get a ham". I'm not sure if it's bad or awesome that church services can be traded for pork on the Karma point system.

All hail and worship sacred BACON!

now THAT is funny....and i have to wonder how many christians who celebrate easter even stop to wonder why they hide colored eggs, or have baskets full of candy and treats, and encourage their children to believe in a magical bunny rabbit!

If you can believe in an invisible rabbit hiding brightly colored eggs and candy, then it's a simple step to an omnipotent being who controls all the other aspects of your life. Yes, the Easter Bunny is a gateway deity.
