We're grocery shopping on Saturday night at the Ballard Fred Meyer, shopping in the meat section, when we see a bunch of our favorite spiral cut honey hams for super cheap. What's usually $40 was only $13 which made us wonder, why are hams so cheap? The last time hams were this cheap it was Christmas. Thus, we deduced a holiday must be near. Lo and behold, Easter was the next day.
Mike busted out an amazing Easter dinner with the ham and some amazing home made Mac 'n' Cheese, the first non-box attempt in our home. The meal was lacking some Pillsbury Grands biscuits or croissants, but our oven doesn't really work and relying on it too much for one meal may have been asking for trouble.
Having no kids and not being religious, Easter really took us by surprise this year. There was a lot of talk about Seders and Passover, but we're not really clued in to the chronology of the various religious calendars and had forgotten that Easter follows those events. The only thing that kept us from thinking it was Mardi Gras was that we were both pretty sure that happens in February. Regardless, our Easter was spent the same way it would have been had we been given more notice. It was good times and good eats!
