So what did you all have for your Easter dinner? Alice... finishing her second week of the Fast and wanting to hear about your exciting non-fast holiday meals!

My family is Greek Catholic, so their Easter was today. I had to stare at but not eat Ham, Kolbasi, Sirek and the other yummy goodies!  I probably went through a pack of cigarettes while they ate.

I am not Slavic, so many times I have to consult 'google' to find out what these foods you guys are talking about are! In this case, 'google' doesn't come up with any food called 'sirek'.
Alice, *confused*

It's also spelled siretz or hrudka. It's basically a big cold scrambled egg and milk ball. Believe me, it's delicious!

Meat Loaf made from ground chuck, mashed potatoes and corn. Hadn't eaten meat since the day before Ash Wednesday. Gave it up for Lent.

Like Etnick's family, we partook of the blessed foods from the Pascha basket. We had kolbasi (sausage), paska bread, Russian paskha cheese, ham, bacon, lamb butter, chrin (beets with horseradish). That was our lunch after Divine Liturgy. For dinner, I made a small leg of lamb in the rotisserie with fresh rosemary, garlic, olive oil and oregano. Many of these foods are a one-a-year treat.
Today, we'll make some egg salad with the blessed pysanky (eggs) from the basket.
Penthaetria, your Pascha feast sounds wonderful!

Etnick, you should talk to your priest, but it is often suggested when at someone else's house that you should partake in what they're eating and not set yourself off from them. Just do so in moderation is what I've been told.

Just do so in moderation is what I've been told. I thought about talking to Father about it, but I've been trying to stick to the letter of the law. Mom insists on making a mini version of yesterdays feast for me when Pascha rolls around, but I said no, don't knock yourself out just for me.

I had to stare at but not eat Ham, Kolbasi, Sirek and the other yummy goodies! Same here. That was rough, but I feel it is important to hold the fast (and no one even noticed that I did not partake of the tasty meat products). I probably went through a pack of cigarettes while they ate. With much, much, much difficulty, I was able to quit smoking one year ago after 27 years of addiction. I will pray that you can quit also! Peace and blessings, R

Peace and blessings, R Thanks Recluse. I've tried to quit on several occasions, but I'm still too much of a slave to the habit. I guess I enjoy it too much.  Have a good lent.

No feast yet! As an organist/music director for the Latins, I was too busy to think much about food. I had services/masses Thursday, Friday, Saturday night, and 4 more on Sunday. Sunday afternoon my whole body hurt, so I slept well into the evening. However, I am taking a trip to good St. Kroger's today and will make up for all that. Of course, I did have plenty of good chocolate to help me through all my Holy Week trials.
