Breakfast
30 Silver-Dollar Pancakes
Holy Ghost Cinnamon Toast
and the ever popular:
Stigmata Frittata

Appetizer
Crucifix Chex Mix

and, of course,
Divinity

Bonus pic! Years ago another wonderful friend, John Paul, invited us over for the resurrection festival. I said I'd bring an appropriate dessert. Yesterday I looked high and low for these photos. They seem to have been carried off by the dust creatures that squat in my closet. The whole exercise led to cleaning out that gulag–a task I never willingly undertake (and must trick myself by looking for something)–and tossing 85% of the shit I'd accumulated. So here is a reenactment of the brilliant Peeps Crucifix. (Unseen are the toothpicks used to impale the peeps to their styrofoam stations. That's right, kids out there in tv land, there were peep stigmatas all over the place. What good is a theme if you can't beat it to a marshmallowy pulp? Please take note of the Calvary-esque Easter grass.)

Bon Appetit to my friends, saved and damned alike.

temptation, temptation, temptation

I know I can work the cherries into ours somewhere, but the question is whether I can slip that cross by my South Americans. I think I should try.

Hmmm. Perhaps if you mold a little Jesus out of tan Peeps Bunnies?

I don't know, it's a long shot.

when will the pontius ham haunches be served? if there are left-overs we could put them in the last supper tupperware.

last supper tupperware. 13 pieces of glow-in-the-dark righteousness. Well, 12 pieces and 1 that's lost its glow. note to self: never store silver in tupperware.
