How did you break the fast?

.

I had rolls and smoked salmon with black pepper and lemon after DL today with coffee and cream

Tonight I'm having Lamb casserole - oh and some wine of course

Church has a big feast---Pascha bread and Cheese Pascha, mac n cheese, ice cream, chocolate milk, Pascha bread with butter, Pascha bread w/ horseradish (woooo nelly I bought some strong horseradish this year) and others had lamb, bacon explosion, pork loin, ribs, chicken wings, pizza, wine, bourbon, and oh yea, one of our Matushkas made jello jiggler eggs-jello shots I had to have a bite of one of those.

SPAM SPAM SPAM! Just kidding. Had some ham (because we are not Jews!) and some lamb and some beef and some unspecified spicy sausage. And beer.

I had a piece of ham, a barbecue rib, and green onion dip to break the fast. We have our dinner after the Paschal Vespers this afternoon. One of our Greek families is cooking the lamb, and we'll also have ham, chicken, barbeque, and any other meat that our families can think to bring, salads, side dishes, and desserts. After liturgy tomorrow, there is a brunch. As for me, tomorrow night I plan to cook Greek chicken with lemon, garlic, olive oil, and oregano (my leg quarters have to finish thawing out) that are cooked with potatoes.

ps we all actually broke the fast with Communion, didnt we?

I went to Whataburger and ordered a double cheeseburger with bacon and jalapenos. So delicious...

The absolute fast, but not the Lenten fast, because we still have it during Lent.

I wish I could've broken the fast with this: KFC's Bacon Sandwich On Fried Chicken "Bread" Starts Killing People Nationwide April 12 - The Consumerist

We had lamb soup, roast lamb, rice, potatoes, and some feta cheese. We also had a few bottles of Greek and Australian wines along with a bottle of ouzo.

Lots of different wines, ham, salami, every cheese under the sun, kielbasa (what is it with Orthodox and kielbasa? ), and so forth.

I just got home from Church. (Our services started at 6:45 AM this morning, ended about 10:30 AM.)

We just had coffee hour with different pastries and some blessed egg. I'm going over my Aunt's at 2:30 this afternoon where the *real* eating will begin!

BAD Michael

I went to Village Inn and had a big fat cheeseburger. Taking two young kids to a restaurant at 3am is a good way to witness the Orthodox church

Piece of ham and cheese. And eggs, of course.

MMMMmmmmmmmmm that lamb was nice so were the veggies roasted with honey as well

The sauce [ redcurrent and wine ] with wee echalottes was really good

Now away to top up my glass of wine

Tomorrow will be bacon sarnies for lunch
