Sounds like you deserve a break from the Easter meal, with all the other cooking you do.May I ask how large of a congregation you are cooking for?For myself, my cousin's husband volunteered me to cook and host Easter dinner. Pretty plain and basic, I am not able to work outside the box. Ham and carbs pretty much. Mashed potatoes, noodles, corn , bread, stuffing, and some kind of cake, the cousin is bringing a strawberry pole cake, so keeping with that theme I am going to do a Boston Cream Pie poke cake. Probably only be about 15 people.

Easter is a busy season for me and includes a lot of cooking. Tonight was Maundy Thursday. I like to include a light meal as part of the service. I made chicken tenders and set out trays of veggies, fruit, cheeses, crakers, and pita chips. The marinade for the chicken had a Greek yogurt base with lemon juice and red wine vinegar. Garlic, oregino, cumin, paprika, and coriander. I marinated the chicken strips overnight. I wanted to use thighs, but the store was out. They had a sale on breasts, so that made the decision easier. The tenders were juicy and had a great taste, I will use that marinade again.Sunday morning we are doing a Sunrise Service starting at 6:30 a.m. I have long thought that anyone who gets up that early for a service should have steak and eggs for breakfast. I was going to get a NY strip and slice it into thin breakfast steaks. However, there was a sale on prime rib and it was $1 cheaper per pound than the strip. Easter breakfast will be an egg bake, prime rib, and my wife's cinnamon rolls.We are also doing a free community dinner on Easter. It will be a full traditional meal. Fortunately I don't have to do any cooking for that. Any other Easter cooks in the works? [ Invalid Attachment ]

Quote from: Bentley on March 27, 2024, 11:24:43 AMWhere do you stay? I am assuming any lodging in Clarksdale is taken. You are about an hour south of Memphis?It is about 90 minutes south of Memphis. My mother-in-law lives just outside of town in Clarksdale and we stay with her during the festival. My step daughter lives about 20 minutes northeast of Memphis and I will stay with her the night before I fly back home.There are not many places to stay. Most folks that have been going to the festival for years book their say room before they leave the festival so they have it for the next year.You could drive about 30-40 minutes north and stay at some casino hotels in Tunica, 30-40 east to Batesville, or 30-40 minutes south to Cleveland for some other options if you want to drive that far each day.

When I met BBL there I stayed at a state park in my rv. I don't remember where he stayed at. Batesville is the next closest town which has quite a few motels.

I just finished watching "Mending the Line" on Netflix. It is about a Marine and others suffering from PTSD. My wife and I found it very moving. It is IMO very well done.
