  Speaker 1: forgot it, this is Easter weekend, as.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: It comes out, this was early.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I feel like it was late. So that's interesting. Yeah,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it lands all over the place. I do have. I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: don't really do anything special for Easter anymore, but I
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: make like a spring meal. I make a bright spring meal.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You don't do the hunt anymore when your mom gives
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: you all the.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Money, Yes, I don't. And so that's you know. Not
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: only is this time, but one of the reasons I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: wanted to bring this up is as discussed in this episode.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I loved that. Yeah, I was jealous. But it's funny
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to me how many people tease me about that to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: this day, Like I still get messages about not just
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: like the money aspect that I got money from Easter
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: ec hunting, but just that I did it so long
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: into adulthood, Like I've already gotten like four or five
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: messages teasing me.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: About was jealous.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It was so fun everybody was jealous. Yeah, I'm not
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: mad about it. It's just kind of funny that I
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: somehow have cemented that in people's minds, where every year
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: this time rolls around and I get these messages, just
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you know, fun teasing amongst friends.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Your mom was truly a great Easter bunny. She was
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: she really it is.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, she really put a lot of time into it,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of effort, and it was fun. I have
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of fond memories of it, and I definitely
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I need to contact her. I need to talk to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: her because I miss her. I was thinking about this.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that was so sweet. Yeah. So listeners,

• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I am all my bubble water strawberry watermelon, A.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Nice nice I've got a bit of a hot toddy situation.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I had a bit of a late night that I'll
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: talk about a future episode. And so last night it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: slept really hard, and you know that feeling when you
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: sleep really hard and you actually wake up kind of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: like disoriented. Yeah, yeah, so I'm kind of like my
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: throat was a little I think I was breathing very deeply. Ah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: but it was a very nice sleep, but I was
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: just kind of this morning a little whoa. But Okay,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: as we're recording this, it is tax Day.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: It is tax Day, it is tax stay.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But it's also coming up on Easter. So I mean,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Samantha and I have made it clear we're not very
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: religious currently, but I did grow up in a religious household,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: so I just kind of wanted to talk about some
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: of the things that I my family used to do
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: for Easter. I did try to look into usually when
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: we do these holiday based episodes, I can find several
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: articles about women who are like, why are you making
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: me get make an Easter basket? So I did look
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: into that. But Samantha, did you have any do you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: have any foods that you associate with Easter or any
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: memories that you have?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: So one thing specific that I would always get growing up.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I was an odd child that did not love chocolate chocolate.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: So the one thing I did like, though, was white
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: chocolate oddly enough, which is super sweet in comparison to
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: but my so my growing up, I always got white
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: chocolate Easter bunnies. My mother made sure to have that.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: My dad loves dying eggs, so we would do that
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: even when fighting, so we would have tons of boiled eggs.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: We would have tons of boiled eggs. We're not actually
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: doing that this year. I was told by my family
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: that they weren't do that because there's no children. But
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I'm also wonder roof is the egg crices, which would
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: make me laugh hysterically. If you know my family, you
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: know the you know like that. But I don't think
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that's it, But I mean maybe I could be, it
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: could be. But all of that to say is that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the biggest memory. Also that I would always get a
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: book and it was usually the old school Nancy Drew.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Or Hardy Boy books that I would get at Easter.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I remember that, but I remember
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: eating bits and I would save it for like months
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: of my white chocolate Easter Bunny while reading my new book.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: So that's something I do remember.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: What about you?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: That's nice? Food wise? We had We always had ham.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that is an Easter favorite.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Deviled eggs, which I know you don't like, but whold
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: host of the show Caroline loves them.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Right, favorite she has and she is so Southern and
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: loves it so much. She has a specialized egg egg dish. Yes, yes,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: and my mother did too. My mother has several, the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: fancy version and then the tupperware version so you can
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: travel with it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my mom did have that too. I forgot about that.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Those were the two go tos, and then usually like
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: peas or asparagus. I've said it before. I was never
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a big candy person, so I'd usually get the candy
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and trade it for something. But my mom would make
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: she'd make these cupcakes that had like the green coconut
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: grass on top and then like the pastel m and
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: ms as eggs, and I loved those for some reason.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Probably could memory. I just saw edible grass yesterday and
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, what is what is this?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Why is this? Why is this a thing?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Because you know, you have the Easter basket and that
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: has the grass and all that, and that's exactly what
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: it looks like.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: But apparently it's edible.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I guess maybe you put it on like food stuff
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: as well, like if you do a specialized cake that
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: you want to be over the top because it's not
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the coconut thing I've seen for years that that is
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: gin eggs Boomer tradition, but like the edible grass is
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: new to me, so I'm very I'm like, do they
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: put this in the basket and tell you to eat
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: that too?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I have questions.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I have questions, but I will also want to add
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: my mother used to make like the fancy fancy baskets
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: for people to have, like care package baskets, so I
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: have baskets were very pretty.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The baskets can be very pretty. My family only did
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that once and then we found them before we were
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: supposed to find them, and they got mad and so
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they never did it again, which is fair. I don't understood.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Take it back. That's what they say about Santa Claus too.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I never believed in the Easter Bunny.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I believed in Santa Claus for an embarrassing amount of time,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: but I've never worked. But anyway, I was a very
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: competitive egg hunter. That was my favorite thing, and to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the point they put in rules specifically for me where
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I couldn't I had to they everyone else got a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: head start.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, did you have to sit back?
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Like five minutes?
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: We had like gold eggs and I was only allowed
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to find one. It was so frustrating, that's me. There's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a picture where I'm like glaring. I obviously can see it,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and I can't get it. I was so mad. But
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: that was my favorite part of Easter. I loved it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But I can only imagine, like how much work that
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: was for my mom to put all the stuff in
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: there and then hind the eggs and put that together
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for us. Something else I found out is a Southern
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: tradition which completely makes sense to me when I read
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: about it. Is the whole Easter dress thing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I was always Southern. Yeah, I could see that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my family, my grandmother sometimes would take me out
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to get an Easter dress. I hated it because I
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: was so insecure with my body. But I did like
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the getting of the dress. But you know, as an adult,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I definitely don't do it. I haven't. She was like
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the person that did that for me, no one else.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: But I learned it was a Southern thing, like women
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: in the Easter the past dress.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: The families have to match. Like for my sister specifically,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: she did that. My parents did too. Don't get me wrong,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: because it was Easter Sunday. You go to service, you
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: have that dress. Everything is in pastels. I remember all
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: of my past not all of them.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: But some of the pastel dresses.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: But like, yeah, having that perfect picture on Easter Sunday
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: with your basket.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I have one. If we still, if we
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: still posted on social media, I have a picture of
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: my family that is exactly that. All the kids look
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: semi miserable and I'm looking at the eggs. I'm already
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: like where are they? But I did enjoy it, you know.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: The sad thing is like during the pandemic, my mom,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: that was one of the things we tried to do is.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: We tried to get together for Easter because I love
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: she would still put on the Easter egg hunts for me.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: The amount of money you met, you you got all
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: those Easter egg hunts. I was like, okay, first of all,
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: we only got candy, but we got more real eggs
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: than anything else.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We'd rake it in man. But that's why the golden
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: egg was so it had twenty bucks in it. Yeah. Also,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I remembered that was one of the final death knells
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: of me and my ex boyfriend, as we were dying
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Easter eggs together with my mom and my mom was like,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: don't you have a crush on this other guy? And
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: I was like, mom, and he left her business on
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: star did he left? He was my ride and he left? Okay, Oh,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: he doesn't care.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: That relationship was over. V left one of your mom.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It was quite the thing. These days, I don't go
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: home for Easter anymore, but I do make Usually it's
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: more of a Spring thing than an Easter thing. But
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I make like a spring pasta or something like, something
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: very bright. So that's what I'm planning on doing this year.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: But I do have a lot of fund memories with it,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: especially the Easter a hunting that was my favorite, so
