Happy Easter!

we had a wonderful easter potluck at our place sunday night. our friends barry and amelia hosted a delicious and beautiful potluck brunch earlier, and i was sort of hoping a more capable hostess would step up for easter dinner. but i wanted it too badly to wait, so i volunteered our place. it's at least big.

i had a ton of help from my friend eunice frying up about 5 lbs of tofu. that's a lot of tofu for those of you don't eat tofu. unfortunately, disaster hit when i realized we didn't have soy sauce. i was really convinced we did during the THREE shopping trips (without a car) i took to get food for sunday. but we didn't, so i ended up just putting a crap load of maple syrup in the orange glaze i put on the tofu. people said it tasted like "a tofu waffle." i guess that could be taken as a compliment...

we also had an easter family program. everyone talked about a day during holy week or another topic related to easter. it was wonderful. we learned about weird polish customs that include beating judas iscariot, we heard amazing easter vespers music, and even got a few mardi gras beads.

thanks to everyone who came. we had a great time and fell into bed exhausted from the fun, food, friends, and family program.

i was taking a bunch of pictures of the people at the party, when my friend's toddler (who gets his picture taken quite often) really got into having his picture taken. he kept saying, "again!" so i kept taking pictures of him. then he decided he wanted a turn. "my turn!" i handed over the camera, and he quickly became an expert. i showed him where the button was and he was taking pictures all by himself. i've decided to post the pictures andrew and i took, and then below that the pictures by our toddler friend.

andrew crosses his legs like a european.

we could fit twice as many people, if we found out a way to utilize our high ceilings.
