Easter is just another Polish eating holiday. That’s a good thing though. I love the foods at Easter. Zurek soup (no kidding) is a fermented soup only had at this holiday. Me, I would have it all the time. I love the sour flavor with the hard boiled egg, sausage, and rye bread. Actually, that’s about all I eat on Easter. Rich is preparing lamb on a spit for our meal. I’m not a big lamb eater, but the guys like it.
I made up the Easter basket today. I don’t have to surprise anyone these days. I got Rich a dark chocolate bunny and Rick chose a Reese’s bunny. They have to have something to eat the ears off of. I don’t need a bunny. I’m just fine with the Cadbury eggs. I had to get the caramel Cadbury’s for Rich. The rest is all malted milk balls and peanut butter cups. Should last us for the next week.
Rich’s birthday is on Tuesday. I took the opportunity of him being out of the house on errands to wrap his gifts. No, I can’t tell you what they are, because he reads this blog also. He should be good surprised on Tuesday though. He plans to take the day off and do something fun. Probably brew the wheat beer for the pig roast in June. He managed to stop by and get his fishing license while he was out. You never know, he might need to go fishing tomorrow.
On the 14th, we are meeting up with some friends and having having dinner at Weissgerber’s in Waukasha, WI. This is a really awesome German restaurant that has all of Rich’s favorite foods. They also carry really good German beers. It’s like being in Germany again for Rich. This is his birthday meal. I don’t mind. I love German food. The company should be pretty good as well.
Earlier, Rich put on his black and red plaid jacket and went out to the garage to work on Sally for a while. Sascha saw his jacket and immediately assumed that she was going for dog scootering! She started barking and dancing around. Poor thing was so disappointed. Sascha dances more than any dog I know. I guess huskies are just a naturally happy breed.
If the weather cools down and the humidity stays down, I thought I might try to take out for a spin around the neighborhood. It’s just that she’s so fast, it’s a little scary to go out with her. She won’t slow down. I have to stay on the brake to keep her from going full speed! She does love to run. I just need some heavy, wide, and offers more resistance. One day, I hope to get a good feel for the scooter and know to control it better.
Sally (the ’34 Ford) had not been started all winter. Today, Rich went out and started putting some things back together on the old girl. He got the battery hooked back up and the seat secured into the car. It took a couple of tries, but the old girl fired right up. Rich then took her out for a spin. Apparently, she did very well. Even the brakes worked. When I got back home, he had painted some pieces and worked on getting some more things done on her. Hopefully, we can be ready to take her out for some shows in June.
Yesterday, Rick brought his girlfriend, Jordan, over to the house. Jordan is very nice, but a little on the quiet side. I just hope we don’t scare her too bad. You know us Zureks, we can be a little loud and brass. I had to ask if she was really OK with Rick wearing his kilt to the prom. She says she is totally fine with it. Rick put on his new jacket to show her what he intended to wear with it. She liked the jacket also. I did offer my Campbell sash if she wanted to dress to compliment him. I took them out to dinner (because we gotta eat) and we talked. Jordan’s OK if she can put up with Rick, you know.
Well, time for grilled steaks, salad and grilled potatoes. Then I can settle in and do nothing for the evening.
