Today is Easter, and it's also a friend's birthday and THE day to get high and the start of the astrological sign Taurus.
I am binge-watching Ted Lasso because the number one thing on my list for tomorrow is "Cancel AppleTV." I got three months free with the new laptop, and I waited until January to redeem it so I could watch the new season of Severance. (I need to time the purchase of my next phone to whenever the next season is scheduled.) Episode 9 of Season 3 of Ted Lasso referenced La Cage aux Folles and the Denver Broncos, so I'm happy.
I spaced the fact that Friday was Good Friday. I usually blast Jesus Christ Superstar on Good Friday. I ended up listening to it yesterday, followed by a mini Guettel-fest of Floyd Collins and Days of Wine and Roses.
Also yesterday, I had a fantastic early dinner of Pulled Pork Mac & Cheese from Noodles & Company. It was on sale for $8, and it may be the greatest thing I've ever eaten.
That sounds like a really nice Easter weekend to me. Other than seeing Floyd yesterday I haven't done much. My mom made meatloaf last night, and I made English-muffin mini-pizzas with crumbled sausage tonight, and for dessert we had strawberries (which were on sale at the supermarket, not the sweetest, but even a mediocre strawberry is worthwhile in my book) with homemade whipped cream. So it was a yummy weekend, at least.
(And on the off-chance that my attempts not to gush about FC actually fooled anyone: I adored it and can't wait to go back. Someone on BWW mentioned that it was being taped the night they saw it, last week I think; and while I'm guessing that was archival, I sure wish they'd do a PBS/Fathom/streaming proshot at some point).
I'm usually a purist about mac & cheese, ever since having some here (https://spoonbreadinc.com/#) that I still remember fifteen years later: pale yellow-white instead of Kraft orange, more creamy than sharp, with a toasty panko crust baked on top, served piping hot in a sort of ramekin that was probably 5" across and almost as deep. It made me a convert to the dish, but now whenever I have mac & cheese I'm basically hoping to relive that experience.
But I do like pulled pork, and the Noodles website (https://www.noodles.com) looks tempting, so I am intrigued.
