Easter Happenings – As has been the case for the last several years, we hosted Easter dinner at Ward Manor. The grandniece and her mom showed up and we participated in the normal easter egg hunt. Which were these pre-filled eggs with little squishy toys. The grandniece was very pleased with this.

For the actual dinner, we kinda took the traditional Easter menu and tossed it out the window. The main courses were a beef stew that The Wife wanted to try and I smoked up some ribs we found in the back of the freezer. Green bean casserole and some very cheesy mac and cheese were the sides. Part of the dessert were some no-bake oatmeal cookies, but The Wife substituted out peanut butter for Biscoff (see below for partial reason). These were good, but you could definitely tell the difference. The rest of the dessert were oreo-stuffed cinnamon rolls from SIL.

We had a lot of fun with everyone, ate too much, had too much leftovers, and was exhausted by the end of it. In other words, a successful holiday.

Biscoff Happenings – The Ward household over the last year has switched from peanut butter to Biscoff cookie butter for a lot of things. My lunch is usually a street taco sized tortilla with Biscoff on it. Why? Hell, the cookie butter has less calories than the standard peanut butter. The downside is Biscoff is at least twice the cost on a per-unit basis and availability can be iffy. On a lark, I checked to see if Amazon had it. Um, yeah. So, now we have this tub coming on subscribe and save.

Yes, that’s 100 ounces of Biscoff. Liquid Death 6-pack for size comparison.

Quilt Happenings – Due to shoulder issues, it’s not unusual for me to sleep for some/most of the night in a recliner we have in our bedroom. I kept an inexpensive blanket on the recliner for when I was sleeping there, but unfortunately we have asshole cats. One in particular has decided to mark my recliner multiple times in the past couple of months. Washing the blanket was no longer effective. Fortunately, The Wife’s BFF decided to gift me a new quilt for helping her with setting up her new laptop a few months back. It was definitely aimed at my interests.
