Easter Sunday

Today I went to Easter morning service. It was my first time at Portland's Greek Orthodox church. It was ok. The sunday morning service is never great because it's right after the real service at midnight and the lent-ending party that follows. No one wants to come to church the next morning so it's not packed at all.

Later on I made another grilled cheese panini. This time it was sharp cheddar and feta, which is a fantastic combination, except that I used a little too much feta so it was pretty salty. Then, Nathan indulged the demands of my culture by making up some lamb for dinner. As always, he made the difference between a mediocre meal that I might have made with the same ingredients and a fantastic Nathan creation. All in all, it's been a great Easter.

I miss Easter services at the church in Montgomery. I've tried going to a few different Greek Orthodox churches in Boston, but it's not the same.

I hear ya. It's just not like home. You know, for having such an informal choir in Montgomery, it really was the best one I've ever heard. I mean, their voices could have stood some improvement, but they had inner joy and they sang the songs the way they were meant to be sung. And Father Jimmy was of course the best.
