The Easter Lamb

One of the wonderful members of St. Rita of Cascia Parish in Tacoma baked this cake for the members of my community, the Bellarmine Jesuit Community. Here is a picture of the Lamb Cake, which I am proud to share with you.
Here is what TL...... wrote: "This Lamb Cake is a POlish tradition. The flag stands for the Pascal flag and the Polish flag. My mother use to back hundreds of these cakes each year and give them out to all those who were dear to her. She would send one to Pope John Paul each year also. I wanted to continue her tradition by making one for you to share with your Jesuit brothers at Bellarmine...I hope you have a very joyful and Blessed Easter." Thanks TL... you are a loving gift of God.

Thanks, Fr. McGowan, for your many high-spirited posts & the videos. I especially enjoyed your recording of the sounds the wind & snow made on a recent snowy day in March. Seeing the snow fall against a background of green was a reminder that "this, too, shall pass." Very different from a snowstorm in Boise! We moved from there a year ago & find living in Tacoma an unfolding series of marvels.

Delightful - most likely tastes as good as it looks. :)

One of the groaners here is when it snows just enough to make sure that school will soon be happening, to the relief of many parents... (I leave it to your imagination what the students will be thinking/saying/feeling... I remember some snow days when I (one of the many over achievers at Seattle Prep in the late fifties) congratulated myself on getting from First Hill to the Prep, either busing from downtown, or merrily trudging to the snow... in my senior years I have no desire to do anything but settle back and sleep...

I am trying to get shapely and pretty, Mizu... that is a long hard journey, so I just salivated away as other members of the brotherhood enjoyed that wonderful cake...
one of them made sure I knew how much he was enjoying them... (he knows how to hurt a sugar addict, that is for sure)

Awww...well, I know you used your vivid writer's imagination, to know the texture and taste without hurting yourself. I'm proud of you for that. You teach a great self-responsible joy with and for others, by your example. xo
