Maundy Thursday

(What, you think 'cause I don't go to church, I forget?)

For you non-ex-Catholics, here's the story:

Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter. It celebrates Jesus's last supper before his execution. Traditionally, it is the day when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and told them to serve others as he served them.

The Middle English word Maundy, used only in this context, derives from Old French mand from Latin mandamentum (_commandment_), in reference to the opening words of the Catholic liturgy for this day, Mandatum novum do vobis "a new commandment I give unto you" (John xiii:34), words spoken by Jesus to the Apostles after washing their feet in preparation for the Last Supper.

(From Wikipedia)

Anyway, needless to say, I didn't wash anybody's feet. Nobody here. I suppose I could have washed Scruffy's, but he usually bites you if you mess with his feet. After getting home, I was using the main bathroom and glanced out the window. The wind had pushed around and tipped over all my patio furniture. Then a squirrel came running across the patio and stopped at the reflection pool. He used both front paws to claw through the skim ice to get a drink. I was thinking maybe I was a little premature thinking Spring was here...

So, three-day weekend, but the weather is terrible: Freezing cold, bitter winds and occasional snow (and I was gonna work in the yard!) Time to regroup!

Tonight's big adventure? Using the deep fryer! It works GREAT! I made my corn dogs first (I ate four of them with a little yellow mustard). Turned it off for a bit, but I was inspired! So, I thawed out the rest of the chicken legs I had packaged off and froze. Once thawed, I dipped them in buttermilk and hot sauce, then in flour and house seasoning and deep fried them as well. Delicious! And, I have corn dogs and chicken legs for snack all weekend! I love this thing!!!

But, now it was late, so I shut everything down and will clean it up in the morning. Watched some TV, read, then bed.
