Why today is no longer EASTER to me

I decided that today was not really a religious celebration at all, at least not for me. Today was definitely more of a celebration of eating. Instead of Easter Sunday, I'm calling today Eater Sunday.

First meal of the day was with Bob's family. Seven of us went to Golden Corral for lunch. I have never seen that buffet more crowded. We had to wait to be seated. That never has happened when I've been there.

Normally, I can never really find anything there that tastes good to me. I knew that I shouldn't waste space or money (even if I didn't pay), on salad. So I wasted it on carbs. The first plate had macaroni and cheese, and two yeast rolls. Then I had fried shrimp, spicy shrimp, beef and mushrooms, and some rice. Add on two more yeast rolls. Next, I tried a couple different kinds of cake. Add on about a liter of Mountain Dew. I was pretty full. Yet I stole a cupcake on my way out the door.

I still think Bob ate more than I did. I wasn't really paying much attention, but he usually eats more than I do. Especially at buffet restaurants. I remember seeing him get more plates than I did. He's my little fatty.

After Golden Corral, I dropped the fat boy off at home, and then proceeded to my parent's house for meal number two. They knew I had gone to eat already, but still wanted me to come for dinner. I had been having some car trouble today, and was a bit nervous about driving out to their house. I called them on the way to warn them about my car trouble, in case the car broke down on the way there.

They had invited a couple they knew to come over and eat with us. I always feel a little nervous around this particular couple. I think it's because my mom always feels the need to impress them. I decided to drink to ease my nerves. My mom followed suit. We were both toasted pretty quickly.

The menu at Mom's consisted of the following:

Appetizers
Shrimp Cocktail
Deviled Eggs
Cajun Crab Dip w/ Crostini
Ritz Crackers w/ Cheese & Tiny Pepperoni
Pesto Tomato Slices

Main Course
Glazed Honey Ham
Spiced Pineapple Slices
Pesto Tomato Zucchini Bake
Asparagus
Scalloped Potatoes
Herb Rolls w/ Butter
White Wine

Desserts
Chocolate Bunny Cake
Sweetened Strawberries
Italian Cookies

I had three deviled eggs, the entire main course, and a thick slice of chocolate cake.

I took home some leftover ham, potatoes, asparagus, Italian cookies, and the ass end of a chocolate bunny cake.

And this, my friends, is why I've changed today to Eater.
