So, it was Harold's first Easter, for obvious reasons (hello, extended Eddie Cantor family!), and the first Easter meal I made alone. I wanted to give H the full suburban Minnesota holiday experience, so I also whipped together an Easter basket, and despite his broken foot, I made him search for it. (The T-shirt he's wearing was in the basket, a nod to my childhood candy-free diet Easter baskets.) The ham is really good (can't stop tearing off bits to snack on today)--Nigella Lawson's Ham in Cola, which I happen to know she adapted from the Do You Smell What the WWF is Cooking? cook book, recipe submitted, I believe, by The Rock. Whom you may know as...still The Rock. The rest of the meal comprised broccoli (nothing we'd have had back in the day, but I need my veg), au gratin potatoes from a box, and jello with suspended fruit cocktail and Cool Whip.Speaking of Easter, I have also resurrected my computer. For the second time in two years, I had a fatal virus/malware infection that ultimately required a total reformat/reload. Thank goodness for laptops, but what a hassle. If I had a job, I'd probably have bought a new computer, but I don't, plus when I bought this in 2004, Jim Gumm told me I wouldn't use it for ten years (as I had the Mac it replaced) and I'm determined to prove him wrong. At least there's so much a person can reconstruct from the Internet. Know what, though? I felt a little wistful for the days when I know "all" about computers. But you know, that made way for, among other things, the wrestling.
We look like a fun couple, don't we? I think we are.
