There's always the shrimp appetizers, if you're lucky!

Yeah, well silly me- I meant the week before Easter. Not being raised in  
the tradition (the churches we attended when I was a kid were into the  
fancy production Easter musicals, complete with dry-ice mist and a  
good-looking blond with a beard to play Jesus) my terminology was off.

Most annoying- I realized that I will be attending a wedding the day before  
Easter- I can't/won't skip it because the groom is one of my dearest  
friends- but skipping the goodies at the reception is going to be HARD! I  
hardly think it's in any way like the real privations of the medieval  
Lenten diet, but it will certainly be an inconvenience! (Maybe I can get a  
piece of cake to take home and eat later...)
