And so last night I 15 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: slept really hard, and you know that feeling when you 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 2: sleep for the hard and you actually wake up kind 17 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 2: of like disoriented. Yeah, yeah, so I'm kind of like 18 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: my throat was a little I think I was breathing 19 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,639 Speaker 2: very deeply. Ah, but it was a very nice sleep, 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: but I was just kind of this morning a little whoa. 21 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: But Okay, as we're recording this, it is tax day. 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 1: It is tax Day. 23 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: It is tax Day, but it's also coming up on Easter. 24 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: So I mean, Samantha and I have made it clear 25 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: we're not very religious currently, but I did grow up 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: in a religious household, so I just kind of wanted 27 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: to talk about some of the things that I my 28 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: family used to do for Easter. I did try to 29 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: look into Usually when we do these holiday based episodes, 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 2: I can find several articles about women who are like, 31 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: why are you making me get making Easter basket? So 32 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: I did look into that. But Samantha, did you have 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: any do you have any like foods that you were 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: so stay with Easter, or any memories that you have? 35 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: So one thing specific that I would always get growing up. 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: I was an odd child that did not love chocolate chocolate. 37 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: So the one thing I did like though, was white 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: chocolate oddly enough, which is super sweet in comparison to 39 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: but my so my growing up, I always got white 40 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: chocolate Easter bunnies. My mother made sure to have that. 41 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: My dad loves dying eggs, so we would do that 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: even when fighting, so we would have tons of boiled eggs. 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: We would have tons of boiled eggs. We're not actually 44 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: doing that this year. I was told by my family 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: that they weren't do that because there's no children. But 46 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm also wondering if it is the egg crisis, which 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: would make me laugh hysterically if you know my family, 48 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: you know the you know like that. But I don't 49 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: think that's it. But I mean maybe I could be, 50 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: It could be. But all of that to say is 51 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: that's the biggest memory. Also that I would always get 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: a book, and it was usually the old school Nancy 53 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: Drew or Hardy. 54 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: Boy books that I would get at Easter. 55 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't know why. I remember that. I remember eating 56 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: bits and I would save it for like months of 57 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: my white chocolate Easter Bunny while reading my new book. 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: So that's something I do remember. What about you? 59 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 3: That's nice? Food wise? We had We always had ham. 60 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is an Easter favorite. 61 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 2: Deviled eggs, which I know you don't like, but hold 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: host of the show Caroline loves them, right. 63 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: Favorite she has. She is so Southern and loves it 64 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: so much. She has a specialized egg shelled egg dish. Yes, yes, 65 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: and my mother did too. My mother has several the 66 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: fancy version and then the tupperware version so you can 67 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: travel with it. 68 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom did have that too. I forgot about that. 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 2: Those were the two go tos, and then usually like 70 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: peas or asparagus. I've said it before. I was never 71 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: a big candy person, so I'd usually get the candy 72 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: and trade it for something. But my mom would make uh, 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: she'd make these cupcakes that had like the green coconut 74 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: grass on tap and then the pastel M and ms 75 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 2: as eggs, and I loved though for some reason. 76 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Probably could be memory. I just saw edible grass yesterday 77 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, what is what is this? 78 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: Why? 79 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Why is this? 80 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: Why is this? 81 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: Why is this a thing? Because you know, you have 82 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: the Easter basket and that has the grass and all that, 83 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what it looks like. But apparently it's edible. 84 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: I guess maybe you put it on like food stuff 85 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,919 Speaker 1: as well, like if you do a specialized cake that 86 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: you want to be over the top because it's not 87 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: the coconut thing. I've seen for years that that is 88 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: gin eggs Boomer tradition, but like the edible grass is 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: new to me, so I'm very like, I'm like, do 90 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: they put this in the basket and tell you to 91 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: eat that too? 92 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 3: I'm I have questions I have questions. 93 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: But I will also want to add my mother used 94 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: to make like the fancy, fancy baskets for people to have, 95 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: like care package baskets, so I have baskets were very pretty. 96 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: The baskets can be very pretty. My family only did 97 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 2: that once and then we found them before we were 98 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: supposed to find them, and they got mad, and so 99 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: they never did it again, which is fair. I don't understood, 100 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 2: and take it back. 101 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: That's what they say about Santa Claus too, which. 102 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: By the way, I never believed in the Easter Bunny. 103 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: I believed in Santa Claus were an embarrassing amount of time, 104 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,919 Speaker 2: but I never lived in. But anyway, I was a 105 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 2: very competitive egg hunter. That was my favorite thing, and 106 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: to the point they put in rules specifically for me 107 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: where I couldn't I had to they everyone else got 108 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: a head start. 109 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, did you have to sit back? 110 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: Like five minutes? 111 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: We had like gold eggs and I was only allowed 112 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: to find one. It was so frustrating. That's me. There's 113 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: a picture where I'm like glaring. I obviously can see 114 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: it and I can't get it. I was so mad. 115 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: But that was my favorite part of Easter. 116 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: I loved it, but I can only imagine, like how 117 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: much work that was for my mom to put all 118 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: all the stuff in there and then hide the eggs 119 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 2: and put that together for us. Something else I found 120 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: out is a Southern tradition which completely makes sense to 121 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 2: me when I read about it. Is the whole Easter 122 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: dress thing. 123 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: I was always Southern. Yeah, I could see that. 124 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, my family, my grandmother sometimes would take me out 125 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: to get an Easter dress. I hated it because I 126 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: was so insecure with my body. But I did like 127 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: the getting of the dress. 128 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 3: But you know, as an adult, I definitely don't do it. 129 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 3: I haven't. 130 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: She was like the person that did that for me, 131 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: no one else. But I learned it was a Southern thing. 132 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: Like women in the Easter the pastor dress. 133 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: The families have to match. Like for my sister specifically, 134 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: she did that. My parents did too. Don't get me wrong, 135 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: because it was Easter Sunday. You go to service, you 136 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: have that dress. Everything is in pastels. I remember all 137 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: of my past not all of them, but some of 138 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: the pastel dresses. But like, yeah, having that perfect picture 139 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: on Easter with your basket. 140 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I have one. Still if we still posted 141 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: on social media. I have a picture of my family. 142 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: That is exactly that. 143 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: All the kids look semi miserable, and I'm looking at 144 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 2: the eggs. I'm already like where are they? But I 145 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: did enjoy it, you know. The sad thing is like 146 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 2: during the pandemic, my mom, that was one of the 147 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: things we tried to do is we tried to get 148 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: together for Easter because I love she would still put 149 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: on the Easter egg hunts for me. 150 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 1: The amount of money you met, you you got all 151 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: those Easter egg hunts. I was like, okay, first of all, 152 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: we only got candy, but we got more real eggs 153 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: than anything else. 154 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: We'd rake it in man. But that's why the golden 155 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: egg was so it had twenty bucks in it. 156 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 157 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: Also, I remembered that was one of the final death 158 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: knells of me and my ex boyfriend, as we were 159 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: dying Easter eggs together with my mom, and my mom 160 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 2: was like, don't you have a crush on this other guy? 161 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: And I was like, mom and he left business star 162 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: she did. He left. He was my ride and he left. 163 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: Okay, didn't care that relationship was over one of your mom. 164 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: It was quite the thing. 165 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: These days, I don't go home for Easter anymore, but 166 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: I do make Usually it's more of a spring thing 167 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: than an Easter thing, but I make like a spring 168 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: pasta or something like, something very bright.
