Ok, thanks benson. I was just thinking I might have missed it.
Cobble, you’re too funny!
I’m more than happy to pass on the recipes. If you want any of them just shoot me an email.

Nope.
BRG- Yeah, our food is very similar to a few nationalities fare but we have different names.
Re: Choereg, It’s slightly sweet, long braided loaf. It’s made with ground Mahleb seeds that give it that amazing fragrance. The closets thing I can compare Mahleb seeds with is that of almond. We don’t do the egg although I’ve heard most other similar ethnic breads do have an egg included.
Here’s a link to a recipe that seems to be just like the one we use (I’m not looking to dig mine out).

“the irony is this might be the one year we don’t do a big Easter. ”
Well, if you do…we do dishes! ; )
bxgrl, I’m not trying to stir up the debate again. I’m just curious to know if Mr. B ever addressed that thread the way he said he would.
THL, your menu sounds similar to mine. Except you’re calling the dishes by different names than I do 😉
Is that the bread that’s braided with a colored egg in the middle? My mother used to make it. Please send me some, it’s delish. I haven’t had it in years. My mother is getting older and can’t do much anymore. I have to do all the cooking while she guides me, and I’m not the best cook.
My Mom and I are deciding now what to make for Easter. Definetely lamb. And veggie grape leaves. I’ll be spending all day Saturday making them. Not sure what else yet.
oh no- please. It was rancorous enough. We had several very different viewpoints on horror show friday- all more or less with leigitimate points to make.

I’ll agree with your Mother’s Day recommendation except for one thing: going out for dinner. We’ve tried that a couple of times, and always regretted it. INHO, Mother’s Day is the single worst day to go to a restaurant. They are always crowded and under-staffed. Once we had to wait two hours for the food to come out.
Nowadays I order food in from a caterer. You need to place your order about a week ahead of time.
