thank you, Mykhayl, for answering a question for me before I'd even asked it.....I wondered about what to do about the inedible leftovers from the blessed foods, and knew I couldn't just pitch them in the kitchen can as they are blessed.
I wonder, though, could I give the ham bone to the dog?

In the old country we had live stock to feed, in the new world we have pets. If the dog doesn't like it you can always bury it as compost. I tend to lean more to the spirit then the letter of Tradition.
My first visit to Ukraine I noticed the flight attendant after collecting the lunch leftovers was setting the bread aside. I wondered if they reserved it. Upon exiting the plain I asked and she said "God's bread for God's birds". This ugly American surely should have known better. Even after formal Soviet atheistic indoctrination the basics taught in the kitchen church stuck.

For those in reasonable distance of New York's Lower East Side, may I offer an unpaid and unsolicited plug for Kurovytsky's butcher shop! They make and sell far and away the best kolbassy I have ever had anywhere; their hams can put filet mignon to shame, and so forth. But in the interests of preserving your sanity, put in your order for Pascha well in advance.

Wonder what a block of tofu carved like a leg of lamb would be called? Or what it would taste like?  Lamb-fakey?

I wonder, though, could I give the ham bone to the dog? To the dog? NO! You put it in a pot, cover it with water, add an onion, some carrots and celery, salt and pepper, and boil it to make stock. Later you use this for bean soup or split pea, or something else. Heck, this year I even saved (and used) the water/cooking sherry mixture I cooked my kolbasi in! Dave

Now, now. The dog deserves something festive too!
I suppose you could bury the inedible leftovers in the garden - people who know more about such things than I do could tell us if that would be good for this year's crop of vegetables and fruits.

In response to a question: Wonder what a block of tofu carved like a leg of lamb would be called? Hmmm. How about "the lamb what ain't"? Fr. Serge

X. B!
C, I, X!
First year of marriage I forgot to dig a hole for garbage as was done at my parents house for Easter. As no work was acceptable on Pascha Sunday and field work was avoided Bright Monday and Tuesday I dug it on Wednesday. My wife handed me a plastic bag of biodegradable ""holy" garbage. I buried it.
A month later my spouse decided to plant a small vegetable garden where I buried the �holy� garbage. The pitchfork pierced the bag and the stench of decay enveloped the neighborhood for a good square block. I never forgot to empty the biodegradable from the bag and just pitch the plastic.
