DJ NICK (00:07):
Welcome to the Dysfunction Junkies Podcast.
We may not have seen it all,but we've seen enough.
And now here are your hosts,Chrisy and Kerry.
Kerry (00:20):
Hello Junkies, welcome back.
I'm Kerry
Chrisy (00:23):
and I'm Chrissy.
Kerry (00:24):
Happy Easter everybody.
Yes, happy, happy junkies.
Welcome back, I'm Keri and I'mChrissy.
Happy Easter everybody.
Yes, happy, happy, happy bunny.
Happy Easter here comes.
Peter Cottontail.
Chrisy (00:36):
Well, he already came, yes he already came this weekend
.
Kerry (00:39):
Chrisy, how'd it go at your house?
Chrisy (00:41):
Oh, just wonderful, I guess.
Too much chocolate, too manyjelly beans, pretty typical.
Kerry (00:48):
What was your family traditions for Easter in your
house growing up?
Chrisy (00:52):
Well, you had to find a good dress.
Yes, that was important to havea sort of a big deal.
Well, for me, because I likedresses and you wanted one that
really screamed spring, yes.
So I always was on the lookoutfor something that had lovely
flowers on it.
Of course it was, you know,flattering.
Kerry (01:12):
Yes.
Chrisy (01:13):
As always.
You would hope to findsomething like that, but the
dress was always nice andanybody follows the old rules or
some rules.
I don't know if this iseverybody else's rules, but you
can't wear white.
That's right Until.
Easter, and that was your goahead to do that.
And to be honest, really Easterwas, especially when I was
(01:35):
little, wonderful and probablyeven like into my late teens and
early twenties, just likereally almost as equal, if not
equal to sort of like thepreparation and happiness of
Christmas Generally liked it,liked being with the family,
liked the traditions of it, withcoloring Easter eggs and the
decorations and the family mealwas always good.
(01:59):
So yeah, I have quite a bit ofa fond memory.
Not as much drama for Eastereither, correct.
Kerry (02:07):
For whatever reason.
Chrisy (02:08):
I guess maybe there's not as much a stake with Easter,
not gifts in a Christmas tree,you just have a basket and
candies usually.
Kerry (02:16):
Less people.
That's what it was in ourhousehold.
We always had big, a lot ofpeople at Thanksgiving, usually
also at Christmas, but by Easterit was more just the immediate,
intimate family.
So you'd have as much extendedfamily.
So it was calmer, quieter andthe fact that it was spring and
you weren't stuck inside withthe snow and everything that was
also a good thing, that'sactually a really good point.
Chrisy (02:38):
I didn't think of that, but you could actually, as long
as it was halfway decent, couldsort of run away to the outer
part of the world and not stayinside.
Kerry (02:48):
And you know the dress thing was definitely a thing too
, because you know, again, as Imentioned before, I didn't have
a lot of money and so in ourfamily that was the two times a
year that we would go shoppingfor clothes.
We would go shopping in lateAugust for school clothes and or
winter clothes, and then wewould shop right around Easter
to get a summer dress and orEaster dress.
(03:10):
You know you might pick up somesummer clothes.
So that was always fun.
It was always much funner to goshopping for the Easter dresses
and summer clothes than it wasfor school clothes.
But I remember the dress was abig thing and the white shoes,
exactly.
You weren't allowed to wearwhite shoes until after Easter
and then you couldn't wear thempast Labor Day.
Chrisy (03:28):
Yeah, I understand that and people have made many
running jokes and funny skitsabout not being allowed to wear
white after Labor Day.
Yes, but usually before, waybefore Labor Day, kind of got
over the white thing.
Kerry (03:43):
Yeah.
Chrisy (03:44):
Because some are being a kid outside and just getting
dirty.
Yeah, probably didn't want towear much white anyhow, yeah, so
that was never a rule thatreally affected me.
Kerry (03:53):
The one Easter that always stands out in my mind.
I must have been in sixth grade, I think, so I don't know
what's that put you at 11 orsomething 12.
Chrisy (04:02):
11, 12.
Yeah.
Kerry (04:06):
That was the year I was allowed to start wearing
pantyhose, because I remember,and it was also the year I was
allowed to get a shoe with aheel, like it was always flats
before then, but at that point Iwas considered like getting to
be a teenager or getting to be ayoung woman, so I was allowed
to wear pantyhose in a shoe witha heel and it, mind you, it was
barely a heel, but it was aheel.
It was lifted and I rememberthat Easter In fact I probably
(04:26):
could find the picture of thatwhere I was, you know, I had my
dress on and I had my heels andmy pantyhose.
I was rocking it.
Chrisy (04:34):
Yeah, I find that interesting because pantyhose is
like a sin, now I know.
And what kills me is especiallywhen, okay so, in the summer
and spring probably, and maybesome parts of fall, I can
understand being able to wear anice dress and some appropriate
sandals.
But in winter, when you want towear a dress and to wear shoes
(04:57):
without some sort of help withyour feet, I can't stand the way
a certain shoe some people justwear sandals in the winter Okay
, I couldn't.
I can't stand the way a certainshoe Some people just wear
sandals in the winter Okay, Icouldn't, I can't.
So let your little toes outthere.
But yeah, pantyhose isinteresting.
How offensive it seems to havebecome, I hate pantyhose.
And you can age people, whichmakes me feel really horrible.
(05:19):
Do you still wear pantyhose?
No, well, no, you can't, my God.
But you're saying you would ifyou could, in winter, when you
want to wear a certain type ofheel.
I can't, no, but I don't.
I don't.
But I what's wrong?
Kerry (05:34):
I mean pantyhose, I mean, you know I stopped wearing
pantyhose probably by the time Idon't know nylons, pantyhose,
whatever you want to call them.
Well, I tell you when you, whenit was, it was when I moved out
west.
When I moved out west, so Iwould have just been about 28.
That's when I stopped, becauseout west, first of all,
everyone's tan all year round,so you don't need them, right.
But even moving back here, no,no, no, no, no.
Chrisy (06:05):
I don't have Crocs.
That's a whole other that shoeI don't understand.
Kerry (06:09):
There's fancy Crocs.
I have a pair of Crocs that youprobably wouldn't even know
that they were Crocs, butthey're like a shoe.
Chrisy (06:15):
I need to see these because I need to be.
Kerry (06:17):
There's like a ballerina shoe, almost like a little
slip-on flat shoe Are your toesout?
Chrisy (06:21):
No, do they have little puncture holes in them like
Crocs do?
Kerry (06:24):
No, I also have Croc clogs that are like a clog and
it's actually got a liner in it,and I wear those in the
wintertime, jesus.
Chrisy (06:31):
I didn't know all this stuff existed with the Croc
world.
I love my Crocs.
Okay, croc boots.
Croc barn boots.
I need you to help me learn.
Crocs in the house, crocsoutside Crocs.
I need to be understanding this.
I'm glad we've talked aboutthis.
Okay, show's over, we got.
I gotta get to my croceducation class.
No, I'm glad Now I'm gonna be,and my daughter will probably
(06:54):
love that because she's had herpair and you know, with kids
especially.
Kerry (06:57):
But I know.
Chrisy (06:58):
I've seen everybody wearing these.
It's not just kids, it's adults, it's everybody.
Kerry (07:03):
I even have Jim, farm boy , jim, wearing Crocs when we go
on vacation.
He doesn't wear them any othertime.
Chrisy (07:10):
I was going to say I've never seen this.
It's hard for me to imagine.
Kerry (07:12):
When we go on vacation, we go to the Caribbean.
He Crocs all the way.
Well, because the sand doesn't,that wipes out easier, I gotcha
.
Chrisy (07:28):
Or, you know, just park your car really close to the
ocean and wash your feet out inthe ocean and then send your car
off to sea like my father did.
That solves that problem too.
Forgot about that?
I didn't.
Kerry (07:36):
Easter baskets.
Big question Easter baskets Didthe.
Easter bunny, hide your baskets, or did they just appear on the
counter full?
Chrisy (07:43):
No, they just appeared on the dining table or the
kitchen table.
Kerry (07:47):
You never had a search for your Easter basket.
Chrisy (07:49):
No, this is a current phenomenon that I had to, not
with the basket but with, like,finding eggs or something.
Please understand that wouldhave required effort on the part
of my parents.
No, I never, ever had to look,you're so true.
Now I'm hoping that maybe itwas because a little bit of
(08:12):
laziness on their part.
I hope they weren't thinkingthat I was just so goddamn
stupid I wouldn't find anything.
No, no, they knew I was smart.
They knew you were smart.
Kerry (08:21):
Yeah, right.
Chrisy (08:22):
No, they just didn't want to do it.
They didn't want to waste timewith that.
That would have taken time,good Lord, why you had to find
your Easter basket.
Kerry (08:29):
Amen.
Every year I had to find thebasket and to this day I still
make my husband my30-something-year-old son.
If they happen to be around atEaster, everybody doesn't.
Still, you have to find yourEaster basket, the whole basket.
The whole basket.
Chrisy (08:43):
I could see looking for eggs, but Nope, whole basket,
whole thing.
Do you also have to find thestuff that's supposed to be in
the basket?
Kerry (08:50):
No, the basket's full.
Oh, but it's got all thegoodies and stuff in it.
But you've got to find yourbasket.
The whole thing is hidden.
Chrisy (09:07):
And where are some of the favorite places?
The Easter bunny hides yourwhole basket, the laundry
machine, the dirty clotheshamper oh really, is there dirty
clothes?
Kerry (09:12):
everything's covered, everything's wrapped,
everything's all wrapped.
Yeah, it's wrapped incellophane so that all the stuff
doesn't fall out oh, there'sanother thing I never got you
wrap your baskets in cellophane.
Chrisy (09:20):
Somebody else took more time to do something that I
never got.
Kerry (09:24):
Yeah, the oven.
Sometimes you had to go outside.
It might be in the barn younever knew Might be under the
rug.
This sounds very time consuming.
Yes, there have been many anEaster that it was late in the
afternoon before one found theirEaster basket.
Chrisy (09:40):
Well, that would have just caused hostility on my part
.
Kerry (09:44):
I would have thought your parents would have liked it,
because it would have kept youengaged for hours.
Chrisy (09:49):
They knew I was engaged, unless they hid the TV.
They knew that would have beena problem.
But no, a basket.
I've just been like look,someone watches program you let
me know when the baskets arethere.
I'm not going to bother you.
Kerry (10:07):
Were your Easter baskets just full of candy, or did they?
Chrisy (10:08):
have toys, okay.
So my husband and I have hadthis conversation many times
because I have kids and the ideaof what you get at Easter time
has changed a little bit.
Mine, and I'm guessing for myhusband too, it was mostly.
It was candy, first andforemost.
Candy, candy, candy.
And then usually, when I wasyoung, you got some sort of
(10:30):
Easter themed stuffed animal oh,okay, little bunny or something
fun like that, and then maybelike silly putty.
Oh, I do remember getting sillyputty a lot, Not Play-Doh,
right, I didn't have Play-Dohwhen I was little.
Kerry (10:44):
No, I didn't either.
Chrisy (10:45):
But silly putty I did remember getting, and maybe my
husband had mentioned, likecoloring books or oh wow, a
paddle ball.
I always got a paddle ball.
Oh, yeah, a paddle ball.
The paddle ball, yes, very.
Kerry (10:59):
Things like that, yeah, but Like that, yeah.
No, ours was purely candy, allcandy.
Chrisy (11:03):
So not even the Silly Putty.
Kerry (11:05):
I don't ever remember getting any kind of trinket toys
or Cracker Jack toys oranything like that.
No, it was all candy.
Chrisy (11:11):
Pure candy.
Kerry (11:12):
I got a puzzle a couple times.
A puzzle, wow.
But like nowadays, there's likebig toys when you go to the
stores and stuff oh, dj Nick'spointing at Chrissy Do you give
big toys in your, in your Easterbaskets for your kids?
Our kids, yeah For your kids.
Chrisy (11:29):
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, they usually get,and I'm more than happy to share
these.
I have wonderful pictures.
The other thing too, just togive credit to it, is you know,
our Easter baskets were usuallythe kind that were just sort of
purchased at the store.
My sister who passed away wasvery crafty.
I mean to say crafty isactually an insult to her.
Kerry (11:49):
She was very talented at making.
Chrisy (11:52):
She was a floral designer for years a
photographer.
She created many beautifulthings, and the one thing she
did for my kids that I hold dearand will never get rid of is
she made their Easter basketsand they're beautiful.
I'll be happy to share apicture of the basket she
created and the material thatshe used to create these baskets
(12:13):
.
They don't make anymore.
Kerry (12:15):
Really.
Chrisy (12:16):
It's got a name and I can't remember the name of it.
I forgot it may come to me.
So those are very important toour family and those get
displayed.
Kerry (12:24):
But your baskets growing up were you didn't have like a
basket, you just like it was,whatever was purchased at the
store.
Chrisy (12:31):
I think it was probably one of those more lower.
Kerry (12:34):
You know something that was meant to not be kept okay,
disposable type basket, yeah,right, so okay, yeah, I mean,
you know, yeah, my dad wasn'tgonna keep that stuff it had its
purpose of holding candy andthose little crappy toys in it,
and then it was done.
I still have my Easter basketfrom when I was a child.
Chrisy (12:50):
Oh, you have the same one every year.
Same one every year.
Yeah, I still have it.
Kerry (12:53):
And I'm wondering, if the material is.
Is the material you weretalking about that your sister
used?
Was it actually like a basketmaterial, like a raft, tan or
something?
I'm trying to think of the name, but it was a cloth.
Chrisy (13:04):
Well, actually the baskets were bunnies.
She was able to take a basketand then create it appears to be
a bunny sitting with his feet,and then it looks like his
little paws are holding onto thething and his head with the
ears oh that's beautiful and Iwould normally buy the ribbon
(13:25):
that would go around the bunny'sneck.
Yeah, and so each one of mykids has one.
Uh has one specifically forthem.
Kerry (13:31):
Oh, that's great that each of your kids got one from
her.
Chrisy (13:34):
Yes, that's nice, it's, uh, she made some other things
for the kids.
Uh, my oldest, uh, there was astuffed animal that my daughter
liked very much that they didn'tsell.
It was from a show that mydaughter watched frequently, but
there was no stuffed animal ofthis, no stuffy for it.
Kerry (13:50):
Not at the time, so she made one, and she made one oh
how sweet and we still have that.
That's cool.
Chrisy (13:55):
These are things I will not ever part with.
You think.
Oh well, that doesn't say much,but no believe me that means a
lot, and they are put differentplace than everything else Of
course.
So, yeah, no, that's amazing,you have the same basket.
Kerry (14:07):
I still have the same basket and you still have it.
Chrisy (14:09):
I still have it Now.
See, you kept something.
I did You're busted?
You kept something.
Kerry (14:23):
I don have a whole basement, though, which I have
to give DJ Nick some credit,because DJ Nick's been doing
some cleaning, and we weretalking a few episodes ago about
, you know, cleaning up andeverything and we talked about
this.
So, yeah, I've noticed a bigdifference in the studio area
today.
So good job DJ Nick and goodjob Chrissy for letting him do
it.
Chrisy (14:36):
The only way I let him do it was I tried not to be
anywhere around.
Well, I'm proud of you.
Good job.
I did question what was in, andhe's smart.
Kerry (14:44):
He comes down here with black.
Chrisy (14:46):
You can't see in the bag Black bags.
Kerry (14:48):
They're black bags.
Chrisy (14:48):
Good, smart move, and I'm like, and so then I start
touching and then I try to stopmyself, because then I'm like
imagining what's in this bag?
It's going gonna go walk away.
I do, I'm, I'm getting better,well, good, so yeah, no, I don't
have anything like that from mychildhood, which I love hearing
that you do, though I do, I dohave.
Kerry (15:07):
You know I do have some nostalgia, things like that that
I've kept and everything.
I just don't keep a lot of uhknickknacks.
I guess you can say right, butthere are some nostalgia things.
Yes, and then my easter basketas a child is one.
So yeah, Well, but I do stillmake, I still use it.
And yeah, for Easter Jim had tofind his basket.
Oh, did you?
(15:28):
I do, I make, he gets some.
He acts like he.
He acts like he doesn't like itand all annoyed and everything.
But I know the little kid inhim.
Chrisy (15:38):
And if you didn't, do it , he'd be bothered probably,
yeah, probably yeah no, nick andI never did the basket thing.
It was.
I don't know that we everexchanged anything for Easter,
just enjoyed the day together.
Once we had kids, then it wasabout, you know, making their
day for them.
Yeah, no, and I do likedecorating for Easter now.
Granted, I don't do a lotoutside.
(15:58):
I think a couple years I didtry to do the thing where you
hang the eggs on the trees andyou put like the inflatable
bunnies out there.
But if you know anything, youhad an inflatable bunny, a
couple.
Yeah, I used to, so theinflatables don't matter.
Oh, ok, wait, when I sayinflatable, yeah, these are like
old school.
This is.
This predates these newinflatables.
Kerry (16:19):
Oh, okay.
Chrisy (16:20):
They're really actually when I say this.
Kerry (16:22):
They're crappy compared to what they have now they're
almost like a swimming pool blowup oh it's not with the
constant air in the littlemachine and everything.
Oh, no, no, no.
You blow it up like a beachball, basically, and then you
have to tie it to somethingbecause it's going to float away
.
Chrisy (16:40):
It probably stands about , I don't know, like two, three
feet at the most, yeah, and theycome in colors.
Kerry (16:45):
Chrissy, you're showing your height here, because you're
tying two or three feet andyou're putting your hand out at
like a four-foot level.
Chrisy (16:52):
Well, yeah, no, it's probably lower lower.
Kerry (16:57):
But yeah, they smell like pool liner.
Chrisy (16:58):
If anybody had a swimming pool you know a pool
with a liner in it.
Kerry (17:02):
Well, the weather is so unpredictable this time of year.
So to put decorations out atthis time of year you don't know
what's going to happen to it,Because we have the wind.
The wind is going to blow myway.
Chrisy (17:12):
That's why I don't do anything.
I have anxiety over it becauseI can hear the wind out there
and I just imagine all the stuffjust gone blown away.
Kerry (17:18):
I know.
Chrisy (17:19):
But inside, yes, I do have a lot of like little themed
things that I put out thatlight up, that are pretty things
and again with my sister whopassed away, we enjoyed crafts
together for most of my lifewith her.
I appreciate that she gave methat and we would paint.
I have a lovely statues andlittle eggs, ceramic type things
(17:40):
that we painted and didtogether and those are also
prized possessions of mine thatI do put out at Easter.
Kerry (17:47):
So it sounds like Easter was definitely less family
dysfunction.
You have a lot more goodmemories from all the times
we've talked about holidays andfamily and stuff.
This is the most I've seenwhere you have a real.
You can see a smile on yourface.
Chrisy (18:01):
I don't remember a lot of drama for.
Easter, I mean and I know I,because I'm not very religious,
but we did go to Easter SundayMass.
Kerry (18:10):
So I guess, we were one of those types who, all of a
sudden, you were a poinsettiaand a lily you only went to
Christmas and Easter Well, justlily.
Chrisy (18:19):
We're even really bad, and it was usually my sister who
passed away and her husbandbelonged to a Catholic church
that my brother-in-law had grownup in and was a member of for a
long time.
It's where they got married andactually my oldest daughter was
baptized at that church becausethey were my daughter's
godparents.
So we would normally my mom andI, and then probably Nick even
(18:42):
though we were not married, atthat church the family went
there, because my niece andnephew went there, so you would
go to easter sunday.
Yes, on sunday, not the eastervigil I never even knew there
was such a thing, but my husbandhelped introduce me to this
mass, which, if anybody's makinga point to go to this every
(19:04):
year, are there people whoactually that's the mass they
want to go to?
Kerry (19:08):
Oh, my mom.
Every year she had to gobecause because you have to
understand that it's not just alittle Catholic education here
and I'm probably going tomutilate it and my, my good
Catholic sister will probablyscold me after this episode for
probably not getting it right.
But Thursday, monday, thursday,holy Friday or Good Friday and
(19:29):
Easter Vigil Saturday is reallylike one long mass, like it's
not three different masses, it'sall kind of part one, part two,
part three.
Chrisy (19:37):
Oh, no, we got the series, the installments again.
Kerry (19:40):
Yes, the Saturday Mass is several hours long and so my
mom would always want to go tothat one and at the time when we
were taking her to her parishyou know, before she was living
with us when she was stillliving at her house but couldn't
drive it was always like acrapshoot on who was going to
draw the short straw that wouldhave to take her to that because
(20:01):
it was so long.
And the priest at thatparticular church, you know she
really liked him and everything,but he's a little wordy so it
made it extra long.
So it was always like, oh, whodrew the short straw?
I had to go to that.
Chrisy (20:16):
This long is hours long yeah that's the one, and only
one, and only time I went to itand it's because my husband oh
became catholic prior to usgetting married oh, he was not
catholic.
Kerry (20:29):
Yeah, I mean it is sweet.
Did you know what you weregetting into when you went to
that service?
And it's going to be threehours long?
Chrisy (20:34):
no, I, I never went again.
And I and what's funny is, thisis over 30,.
What two 33 years ago?
That this occurred and I stillcan't get over the hostility I
feel about the length of thatMass.
Probably that's when I said youknow what?
(20:54):
I probably don't ever have togo to church again.
You're good for life.
I filled my time in that one.
That is just it's long.
Kerry (21:03):
You know it's wonderful traditions and it's a lot.
But I hear you, it can be along mass.
That's torture.
There's nothing else I can say.
Chrisy (21:13):
I'm sorry For somebody who has a hard time just sitting
.
You know, if you're strong inyour faith and you love being,
you know you're Catholic and youhave that in your heart and
that's wonderful and I knowthere are many people that is
their thing Then I canunderstand why that has so much
value to you.
I'm a horrible human being.
(21:34):
Oh, chrissy, I don't have thatkind of faith.
I don't feel strongly about anyreligion.
You wouldn't probably even sitthrough a movie that was three
hours long.
Of course I would.
I saw Titanic.
Kerry (21:46):
I saw Titanic in the theater eight times.
Well, okay, I was trying tohelp you with that one.
Chrisy (21:52):
No, I'm not looking for a pass because I, like I said, I
scheduled my appointment inhell.
So at this point, there's no,no, nothing to worry about.
Um, but no, yeah, that's atough mass.
So at this point, there'snothing to worry about.
But no, yeah, this is a toughmass.
So what did you guys eat on?
Kerry (22:06):
Easter.
Chrisy (22:06):
Well, because we went to mass with my brother-in-law's
family and their parish was.
A lot of the parishes in ourarea maybe elsewhere again, I
don't want to say it's just ourarea were built by neighborhoods
and families of a specificethnicity.
That were moved into thosecommunities, so different sides
of town.
We had different churches thatwere, of course, open to anyone
(22:27):
who wants to worship, but whenyou look at their history and
traditions, a lot of them arebased in different ethnic groups
.
So my brother-in-law wasCroatian, so this was a Croatian
Catholic church with a lot ofCroatian families.
So when we would go to massthere the day before Easter I
believe maybe I'm wrong, I can'tI don't think it was on Good
(22:47):
Friday, but they would taketheir food that they were going
to be eating for Easter Sundayand have it blessed.
So we would have breakfast atthe lovely lady Millie, who used
to babysit me for New Year'sEve, the one with the tinsel on
the TV.
No, no, that was my aunt'shouse.
Kerry (23:04):
Oh sorry, yeah, no, Millie didn't obscure my view,
pizza rolls, pizza rolls, yes,and Rudolph's shiny New Year.
Chrisy (23:10):
We would have breakfast there with my brother-in-law's
mother and his side of thefamily and we did that for a
really long time and it waskibossy and what was great.
Why is kibossy come up so much?
Well, it just it was we got.
And what was great about thiskibossy?
And I can't express to you howgood it was and I can never
duplicate how this, how she wasable to do this.
(23:32):
I don't know if it's a type ofkibossy she bought, but it was
generally cold.
We ate it cold or it was roomtemperature.
I what are you gagging about?
It was really and I mean it wasawesome.
It was so good.
And what kills me is itprobably sat out.
They probably never didanything once.
It was blessed because it wasblessed.
Now it's got this whole thingon it.
(23:53):
You can't alter, tamper with it.
Nobody ever got sick, carrie, Iswear to Nobody ever got sick.
Kerry (24:00):
Carrie, I swear to God I literally have chills.
Chrisy (24:02):
It was really good and I've tried to do it.
I've bought kielbasa, I've madeit, I've cooked it in the oven,
baked it in the oven and thenI've tried to let it sit out or
put it in the fridge to get itcold.
I still can't make it the wayhers tasted.
It was always good.
My brother, if he listens,maybe he can help me out with
that, but I'm gonna be the onlyone eating it because I you're
passing out over here I'mliterally sitting here holding
(24:22):
his tongue.
Kerry (24:23):
The guy next to me, he don't want to eat that crap I'm
literally having a physicalreaction to that.
Like that literally just sentchills down my spine the, the
hair, the sweat.
Why is?
So many opposed to the kibossy,it's so good I was just at a
little bit of a gag responsewhenever you just said kibossy,
(24:44):
but oh God, I can't even say it.
Chrisy (24:46):
I can't go any further and say it was good.
Kerry (24:49):
And then we had ham Did it have sauerkraut with it.
Chrisy (24:51):
No, no, no, no, no.
It was just.
It stood alone With ham.
We had ham, and we had ham, andthen you had your hard-boiled
eggs.
I can't remember what otherstuff we had.
It was like it was just loadingup on kielbasa, ham and
hard-boiled eggs.
Nobody would have heard of thisafterwards.
(25:11):
Everybody was rooting into it,probably after breakfast.
I never thought of it.
We would go to my mom's then fordinner, my mom and dad's for
our Easter dinner.
It was ham again and generallykielbasa, but it was cooked and
hot, warm or something, I guess.
Do you see the hairs raising onmy every time?
(25:32):
I didn't realize this causedsuch a trauma thing and probably
had some sort of potato dish, Ithink, maybe with her, maybe a
salad.
I'm having a hard timeremembering all the oh no, I
know what.
We used to have a dish.
We can talk again about it whenwe do another episode about
family traditional foods thatare specific to certain families
.
It was called felon.
Don't ask me to spell it, don'tknow how to spell it.
(25:54):
But basically it's like crust,a breading that you make.
It has a specific recipe andthen you fill it with like
potatoes and peppers and onionsand like Romana cheese and you
bake it.
It's really good and you cut itand you kind of eat it with
your hand.
Kerry (26:10):
You kind of cut it in like pieces and for the record,
dj nick and I are both sittinghere gagging and shaking our
heads.
It was, it was good it was goodwell, my brother-in-law their
family.
Chrisy (26:21):
They ate, I guess, what they call blood sausage, which I
think is legitimately blood.
I know I didn't eat that.
Kerry (26:28):
I didn't eat that, but.
But these are.
Chrisy (26:29):
European traditions.
It's more of the what would youcall that, the more Slavic type
areas of Europe.
And you had the hard-boiledeggs, of course, and, oh, easter
bread.
Kerry (26:41):
Oh, easter bread, which is fantastic and that is one of
the things that a lot of thechurches in our area do.
They will make that Easterbread and A lot of the churches
in our area do they will makethat Easter bread and you get
the bread a couple of daysbefore Easter and stuff they
make it and then, yes, that'svery good.
Chrisy (26:52):
Some people have different types.
My mother's was definitely thetraditional type of like Italian
Easter bread.
Kerry (26:57):
Yeah.
Chrisy (26:58):
And she used to have to do it with the yeast and it
would have to rise and she wouldmake it.
Kerry (27:02):
And others are lighter.
They're like, I want to saylike an egg based, or something.
Chrisy (27:06):
Ricotta.
Is that what it is?
I found this recipe, andprobably a lot of people, but
it's lighter, it's fluffier,it's not as heavy as the yeast.
No, and you don't have tomonkey around with the yeast
thing and rising.
This one that I make with thericotta in it tastes just like
my mom's.
Kerry (27:20):
And you didn't save any leftovers for me when I was
coming this week.
Chrisy (27:24):
Probably in the freezer.
Oh, you're in trouble nowYou're going to get fellow won
and Easter bread Next year.
Freezer, I'm not going to giveyou kibosh, you just throw it at
me in horror.
Kerry (27:34):
But yeah, so that's where the.
Chrisy (27:36):
So you guys had, what did you have?
Turkey, Turkey, that's yourfavorite.
Well, I tell you kind ofPrevious episodes.
Kerry (27:43):
we talked about our Christmas and Thanksgiving and
Easter Turkey about our.
Chrisy (27:47):
Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, turkey,
yeah, and then, just so, thedecorating.
We didn't decorate.
Kerry (27:52):
Nope, didn't decorate Barely, but we didn't search for
things.
We didn't have an Easter egghunt, yeah, we didn't have an
Easter egg hunt because we huntfor our basket, for our basket,
and the eggs would be eggs thatwe dyed, were already in the
basket, so they were in thebasket.
Chrisy (28:06):
That was hidden.
The Easter egg thing is acontrol issue for me and it's
tough.
Now with the kids I've gottenbetter, but you really, I always
wanted to be specific to makingsure that they were perfect,
like I didn't want them to sitonce.
You dye them.
Sometimes you put themsomewhere to dry, oh, and they
get that weird ring.
Kerry (28:22):
I didn't want that.
Chrisy (28:23):
So I really like making sure the eggs were perfect.
Yeah, dressing nice, having anice meal, maybe going to church
eating the food that wasblessed, and kiboshy that's cold
, and and specific movies.
Kerry (28:36):
I equate I connect with easter I can't believe it's
taken this long for you to bringthe movie well, I'll make it
quick, because I don't want tokeep everybody over easter long,
but because everybody's likeprobably had enough of it since
we're a little bit past it.
Chrisy (28:48):
But great family time and you're looking forward to
spring.
I think it's a lovely time forfamily and and stuff.
Jesus nazareth, of course.
I mean.
I'm sorry I already mentionedthat once, but even for us
non-heavy religious people, Imean good movie, and it's got to
be the one from 1977, uh, andit's got to be the uh, what's
his name?
Fel Fellini.
Who did that one?
(29:08):
No, zeffirelli, zeffirelli.
Kerry (29:10):
Zeffirelli, zeffirelli.
Chrisy (29:12):
Jesus of Nazareth with Robert Powell Definite.
For some reason I always watchSound of Music at Easter.
Kerry (29:16):
Yeah, because that was back in the day, whenever it
would only come on once a year,and that's when they played it
around.
Chrisy (29:22):
Easter yeah.
Kerry (29:30):
Kind was like around christmas.
Yeah, it was, it was in thatweird period, yeah it was, and
then sometimes it would be rightbefore christmas, yeah, but
sound of music definitely.
Yeah, please watch that one.
Chrisy (29:34):
And then there was a couple of the stop action
animation ones like rudolph andeverything, but they were easter
ones and it was here comespeter, here comes peter,
cottontail, right, nick, I don'tknow.
And the easter bunny is comingto town.
Out of those two, everyone Irecommend, the easter bunny is
coming to town, it's better.
I hated the other one.
I know it was casey casem aspeter cottontail.
(29:55):
And then you had vinnie price,mr vincent price, the freaky guy
doing iron tail and thatfreaked me out all the time and
his and I just remember like Iwould be freaked out that my
eggs would turn that colorbecause he was trying to give
people those horrible like theylook like army green eggs.
He was trying to hand those outat Easter.
Kerry (30:12):
Never saw it.
Chrisy (30:14):
I guess, even though it's after Easter, I never saw
it.
You need to sit down andYouTube it and sit and watch it.
Okay, yeah, all right, I'll tryto find it.
I can't believe you didn'twatch these.
Okay, you didn't watch the.
You watched some of theChristmas stuff, I'm sure.
Kerry (30:28):
Yeah, a little bit, but no, no, sound of Music was
probably about it.
Sound of Music, yeah.
And then there was just aDisney movie.
Chrisy (30:37):
For some reason I don't know why I watched it, but it
was fun.
It was called the UglyDachshund and it was a Disney
movie with Dean Jones and it wason TV, or did you?
Kerry (30:45):
go to a movie theater.
Chrisy (30:45):
No, this would have been a later phenomenon for me.
As an adult, I had access to beable to watch this, and they
must have played it on theDisney Channel a lot at spring.
Kerry (30:54):
That would have been way not available to me.
Chrisy (30:56):
Suzanne Plachette was in it and they had dachshunds.
She was crazy about herdachshunds and the husband never
got a manly dog and this puppywas basically turned away by his
mother when he was born.
Kerry (31:08):
Was this a cartoon or like a people?
Chrisy (31:10):
No, it's a regular movie like a Disney movie and the vet
talked him into taking on thispuppy because the mother didn't
want it and it needed to benourished.
And the dachshund just hadpuppies and had plenty of milk.
Kerry (31:22):
And it's called the ugly dachshund.
Chrisy (31:23):
Yeah, he sneaks this dog in with the other dachshunds
but here it's a great day, so hecheesed.
He like lies to his wife thatit's the dog.
Had another puppy and she'slike it looks funny, it don't
look like the other puppies.
What the hell's wrong with thisdog?
And then you know, of course,like in two weeks a dog's like
100 pounds um, but, and not nearas long as a dog, yeah, but no,
(31:44):
it's, it's a good.
If you like those kind of funnostalgic movies, I recommend it
.
Kerry (31:48):
I feel like one other movie that came out I want to
say it was usually in the springwas Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Chrisy (31:55):
Yeah, I know, that's a Dick Van Dyke vehicle, that one.
Kerry (31:57):
I do remember and that was a lot of good memories.
Yeah, I didn't watch that one.
Chrisy (32:01):
I don't know why.
Maybe something about itannoyed me.
I don't want to watch that thecar, oh wow.
So but yeah, love Easter, loveSaturday.
I like when Easter runs alittle late, like it did this
year.
Kerry (32:13):
Yes.
Chrisy (32:13):
When we get those Easters in March it really
throws you off.
Kerry (32:17):
It does.
No, I'm glad that it's latethis year too, because May is
just around the corner.
It's summer.
Chrisy (32:23):
Yeah, you don't have to wait much longer for the warmer
temperatures.
Thank, God.
I know.
So I wonder what everybodyelse's Easter traditions were.
I know, did they eat coldkielbasa and make Carrie yak?
Kerry (32:36):
Every time you say that, literally chills.
Chrisy (32:39):
Yes, but I was eating hot dogs and ice cream, so cold
kielbasa was no problem Ifanything, it was a step up.
That's true, that's true.
Kerry (32:46):
What I want to know is what kind of candy you wanted in
your Easter basket.
That's what I want to know.
Chrisy (32:51):
And then it was a company that was not a sponsor.
Yeah, got a lot of Gorons.
Oh yeah, yes, yes, yes and whatare those little?
Kerry (32:59):
they're tiny little chocolate balls.
They're real little sixletsSixlets, I think they're called
and they come in like a sleeve,like a little tube, like a
little sleeve and there wasdifferent colors and they were
chocolate, that they haddifferent colors, but that was
always my favorite to get atEaster.
I think they were calledSixlets, but I'll have to look
(33:20):
it up.
Look it up, yeah.
Chrisy (33:22):
But, anyway.
Kerry (33:22):
so yes, on our Facebook page we are going to post
pictures of Chrissy's cuteChristmas or Easter baskets from
her sister.
Yes, and I want to see whatkind of candy everybody wanted
in there.
Are you a white chocolate, darkchocolate, milk chocolate?
Chrisy (33:37):
Well, I milk but Do you like white chocolate?
No, but we'll eat it whenpresented with that you won't
say no to it.
Kerry (33:44):
I won't say no.
Chrisy (33:46):
No, if I'm going to eat cold kielbasa white chocolate,
all you got in there.
Kerry (33:50):
OK, I love white chocolate yeah.
Chrisy (33:55):
I mean it's, I don't mind it, but it's different than
definitely, but we'll also postpictures of how I've overdone
it for my children over theyears, because I always take a
picture, just like I do whenSanta's come.
Yeah, I always take a pictureof when the Easter Bunny picture
of when the Easter Bunny's beenthere.
Kerry (34:06):
So we'll have to see this year's pictures.
Yeah, yes, it's Christmas lightin our house.
Yeah, christmas light.
It's very Christmas With apastel theme yes, spring
happiness.
Chrisy (34:17):
Oh, one other thing real quick.
I know we're getting long, butwhat is up with the Easter Bunny
at the mall?
Kerry (34:22):
Do you ever notice?
Why does?
Chrisy (34:23):
the Easter Bunny have to have an enormous head.
Kerry (34:29):
Yeah, I don head.
Yeah, I don't know that freaksme out.
I have the eyes on those.
Things always freak me out.
Chrisy (34:31):
They're always.
Yeah, if the kids were afraidof sitting on santa's lap, I I
mean, I we used to take our kidsat the mall for the pictures.
But yeah, the easter bunny,that's a hard sell how do you?
Explain that to your kids.
Santa seems more understandable, but you've got this human size
oversized bunny with anenormous head, heart, yeah and
it's just yeah, because they'rein a huge mat, it doesn't?
(34:53):
It's scary.
Yeah, it's a little scary.
Kerry (34:55):
Yeah, I avoid those kids go and you get pictures and you
get the picture of the kidsscreaming yeah, I mean trauma
dysfunction there it is, youjust caused some stress there.

Yes, happy, happy junkies.
Welcome back, I'm Keri and I'mChrissy.
Happy Easter everybody.
Yes, happy, happy, happy bunny.
Happy Easter here comes.
Peter Cottontail.
Chrisy (00:36):
Well, he already came, yes he already came this weekend
.
Kerry (00:39):
Chrisy, how'd it go at your house?
Chrisy (00:41):
Oh, just wonderful, I guess.
Too much chocolate, too manyjelly beans, pretty typical.
Kerry (00:48):
What was your family traditions for Easter in your
house growing up?
Chrisy (00:52):
Well, you had to find a good dress.
Yes, that was important to havea sort of a big deal.
Well, for me, because I likedresses and you wanted one that
really screamed spring, yes.
So I always was on the lookoutfor something that had lovely
flowers on it.
Of course it was, you know,flattering.
Kerry (01:12):
Yes.
Chrisy (01:13):
As always.
You would hope to findsomething like that, but the
dress was always nice andanybody follows the old rules or
some rules.
I don't know if this iseverybody else's rules, but you
can't wear white.
That's right Until.
Easter, and that was your goahead to do that.
And to be honest, really Easterwas, especially when I was
(01:35):
little, wonderful and probablyeven like into my late teens and
early twenties, just likereally almost as equal, if not
equal to sort of like thepreparation and happiness of
Christmas Generally liked it,liked being with the family,
liked the traditions of it, withcoloring Easter eggs and the
decorations and the family mealwas always good.
(01:59):
So yeah, I have quite a bit ofa fond memory.
Not as much drama for Eastereither, correct.
Kerry (02:07):
For whatever reason.
Chrisy (02:08):
I guess maybe there's not as much a stake with Easter,
not gifts in a Christmas tree,you just have a basket and
candies usually.
Kerry (02:16):
Less people.
That's what it was in ourhousehold.
We always had big, a lot ofpeople at Thanksgiving, usually
also at Christmas, but by Easterit was more just the immediate,
intimate family.
So you'd have as much extendedfamily.
So it was calmer, quieter andthe fact that it was spring and
you weren't stuck inside withthe snow and everything that was
also a good thing, that'sactually a really good point.
Chrisy (02:38):
I didn't think of that, but you could actually, as long
as it was halfway decent, couldsort of run away to the outer
part of the world and not stayinside.
Kerry (02:48):
And you know the dress thing was definitely a thing too
, because you know, again, as Imentioned before, I didn't have
a lot of money and so in ourfamily that was the two times a
year that we would go shoppingfor clothes.
We would go shopping in lateAugust for school clothes and or
winter clothes, and then wewould shop right around Easter
to get a summer dress and orEaster dress.
(03:10):
You know you might pick up somesummer clothes.
So that was always fun.
It was always much funner to goshopping for the Easter dresses
and summer clothes than it wasfor school clothes.
But I remember the dress was abig thing and the white shoes,
exactly.
You weren't allowed to wearwhite shoes until after Easter
and then you couldn't wear thempast Labor Day.
Chrisy (03:28):
Yeah, I understand that and people have made many
running jokes and funny skitsabout not being allowed to wear
white after Labor Day.
Yes, but usually before, waybefore Labor Day, kind of got
over the white thing.
Kerry (03:43):
Yeah.
Chrisy (03:44):
Because some are being a kid outside and just getting
dirty.
Yeah, probably didn't want towear much white anyhow, yeah, so
that was never a rule thatreally affected me.
Kerry (03:53):
The one Easter that always stands out in my mind.
I must have been in sixth grade, I think, so I don't know
what's that put you at 11 orsomething 12.
Chrisy (04:02):
11, 12.
Yeah.
Kerry (04:06):
That was the year I was allowed to start wearing
pantyhose, because I remember,and it was also the year I was
allowed to get a shoe with aheel, like it was always flats
before then, but at that point Iwas considered like getting to
be a teenager or getting to be ayoung woman, so I was allowed
to wear pantyhose in a shoe witha heel and it, mind you, it was
barely a heel, but it was aheel.
It was lifted and I rememberthat Easter In fact I probably
(04:26):
could find the picture of thatwhere I was, you know, I had my
dress on and I had my heels andmy pantyhose.
I was rocking it.
Chrisy (04:34):
Yeah, I find that interesting because pantyhose is
like a sin, now I know.
And what kills me is especiallywhen, okay so, in the summer
and spring probably, and maybesome parts of fall, I can
understand being able to wear anice dress and some appropriate
sandals.
But in winter, when you want towear a dress and to wear shoes
(04:57):
without some sort of help withyour feet, I can't stand the way
a certain shoe some people justwear sandals in the winter Okay
, I couldn't.
I can't stand the way a certainshoe Some people just wear
sandals in the winter Okay, Icouldn't, I can't.
So let your little toes outthere.
But yeah, pantyhose isinteresting.
How offensive it seems to havebecome, I hate pantyhose.
And you can age people, whichmakes me feel really horrible.
(05:19):
Do you still wear pantyhose?
No, well, no, you can't, my God.
But you're saying you would ifyou could, in winter, when you
want to wear a certain type ofheel.
I can't, no, but I don't.
I don't.
But I what's wrong?
Kerry (05:34):
I mean pantyhose, I mean, you know I stopped wearing
pantyhose probably by the time Idon't know nylons, pantyhose,
whatever you want to call them.
Well, I tell you when you, whenit was, it was when I moved out
west.
When I moved out west, so Iwould have just been about 28.
That's when I stopped, becauseout west, first of all,
everyone's tan all year round,so you don't need them, right.
But even moving back here, no,no, no, no, no.
Chrisy (06:05):
I don't have Crocs.
That's a whole other that shoeI don't understand.
Kerry (06:09):
There's fancy Crocs.
I have a pair of Crocs that youprobably wouldn't even know
that they were Crocs, butthey're like a shoe.
Chrisy (06:15):
I need to see these because I need to be.
Kerry (06:17):
There's like a ballerina shoe, almost like a little
slip-on flat shoe Are your toesout?
Chrisy (06:21):
No, do they have little puncture holes in them like
Crocs do?
Kerry (06:24):
No, I also have Croc clogs that are like a clog and
it's actually got a liner in it,and I wear those in the
wintertime, jesus.
Chrisy (06:31):
I didn't know all this stuff existed with the Croc
world.
I love my Crocs.
Okay, croc boots.
Croc barn boots.
I need you to help me learn.
Crocs in the house, crocsoutside Crocs.
I need to be understanding this.
I'm glad we've talked aboutthis.
Okay, show's over, we got.
I gotta get to my croceducation class.
No, I'm glad Now I'm gonna be,and my daughter will probably
(06:54):
love that because she's had herpair and you know, with kids
especially.
Kerry (06:57):
But I know.
Chrisy (06:58):
I've seen everybody wearing these.
It's not just kids, it's adults, it's everybody.
Kerry (07:03):
I even have Jim, farm boy , jim, wearing Crocs when we go
on vacation.
He doesn't wear them any othertime.
Chrisy (07:10):
I was going to say I've never seen this.
It's hard for me to imagine.
Kerry (07:12):
When we go on vacation, we go to the Caribbean.
He Crocs all the way.
Well, because the sand doesn't,that wipes out easier, I gotcha
.
Chrisy (07:28):
Or, you know, just park your car really close to the
ocean and wash your feet out inthe ocean and then send your car
off to sea like my father did.
That solves that problem too.
Forgot about that?
I didn't.
Kerry (07:36):
Easter baskets.
Big question Easter baskets Didthe.
Easter bunny, hide your baskets, or did they just appear on the
counter full?
Chrisy (07:43):
No, they just appeared on the dining table or the
kitchen table.
Kerry (07:47):
You never had a search for your Easter basket.
Chrisy (07:49):
No, this is a current phenomenon that I had to, not
with the basket but with, like,finding eggs or something.
Please understand that wouldhave required effort on the part
of my parents.
No, I never, ever had to look,you're so true.
Now I'm hoping that maybe itwas because a little bit of
(08:12):
laziness on their part.
I hope they weren't thinkingthat I was just so goddamn
stupid I wouldn't find anything.
No, no, they knew I was smart.
They knew you were smart.
Kerry (08:21):
Yeah, right.
Chrisy (08:22):
No, they just didn't want to do it.
They didn't want to waste timewith that.
That would have taken time,good Lord, why you had to find
your Easter basket.
Kerry (08:29):
Amen.
Every year I had to find thebasket and to this day I still
make my husband my30-something-year-old son.
If they happen to be around atEaster, everybody doesn't.
Still, you have to find yourEaster basket, the whole basket.
The whole basket.
Chrisy (08:43):
I could see looking for eggs, but Nope, whole basket,
whole thing.
Do you also have to find thestuff that's supposed to be in
the basket?
Kerry (08:50):
No, the basket's full.
Oh, but it's got all thegoodies and stuff in it.
But you've got to find yourbasket.
The whole thing is hidden.
Chrisy (09:07):
And where are some of the favorite places?
The Easter bunny hides yourwhole basket, the laundry
machine, the dirty clotheshamper oh really, is there dirty
clothes?
Kerry (09:12):
everything's covered, everything's wrapped,
everything's all wrapped.
Yeah, it's wrapped incellophane so that all the stuff
doesn't fall out oh, there'sanother thing I never got you
wrap your baskets in cellophane.
Chrisy (09:20):
Somebody else took more time to do something that I
never got.
Kerry (09:24):
Yeah, the oven.
Sometimes you had to go outside.
It might be in the barn younever knew Might be under the
rug.
This sounds very time consuming.
Yes, there have been many anEaster that it was late in the
afternoon before one found theirEaster basket.
Chrisy (09:40):
Well, that would have just caused hostility on my part
.
Kerry (09:44):
I would have thought your parents would have liked it,
because it would have kept youengaged for hours.
Chrisy (09:49):
They knew I was engaged, unless they hid the TV.
They knew that would have beena problem.
But no, a basket.
I've just been like look,someone watches program you let
me know when the baskets arethere.
I'm not going to bother you.
Kerry (10:07):
Were your Easter baskets just full of candy, or did they?
Chrisy (10:08):
have toys, okay.
So my husband and I have hadthis conversation many times
because I have kids and the ideaof what you get at Easter time
has changed a little bit.
Mine, and I'm guessing for myhusband too, it was mostly.
It was candy, first andforemost.
Candy, candy, candy.
And then usually, when I wasyoung, you got some sort of
(10:30):
Easter themed stuffed animal oh,okay, little bunny or something
fun like that, and then maybelike silly putty.
Oh, I do remember getting sillyputty a lot, Not Play-Doh,
right, I didn't have Play-Dohwhen I was little.
Kerry (10:44):
No, I didn't either.
Chrisy (10:45):
But silly putty I did remember getting, and maybe my
husband had mentioned, likecoloring books or oh wow, a
paddle ball.
I always got a paddle ball.
Oh, yeah, a paddle ball.
The paddle ball, yes, very.
Kerry (10:59):
Things like that, yeah, but Like that, yeah.
No, ours was purely candy, allcandy.
Chrisy (11:03):
So not even the Silly Putty.
Kerry (11:05):
I don't ever remember getting any kind of trinket toys
or Cracker Jack toys oranything like that.
No, it was all candy.
Chrisy (11:11):
Pure candy.
Kerry (11:12):
I got a puzzle a couple times.
A puzzle, wow.
But like nowadays, there's likebig toys when you go to the
stores and stuff oh, dj Nick'spointing at Chrissy Do you give
big toys in your, in your Easterbaskets for your kids?
Our kids, yeah For your kids.
Chrisy (11:29):
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, they usually get,and I'm more than happy to share
these.
I have wonderful pictures.
The other thing too, just togive credit to it, is you know,
our Easter baskets were usuallythe kind that were just sort of
purchased at the store.
My sister who passed away wasvery crafty.
I mean to say crafty isactually an insult to her.
Kerry (11:49):
She was very talented at making.
Chrisy (11:52):
She was a floral designer for years a
photographer.
She created many beautifulthings, and the one thing she
did for my kids that I hold dearand will never get rid of is
she made their Easter basketsand they're beautiful.
I'll be happy to share apicture of the basket she
created and the material thatshe used to create these baskets
(12:13):
.
They don't make anymore.
Kerry (12:15):
Really.
Chrisy (12:16):
It's got a name and I can't remember the name of it.
I forgot it may come to me.
So those are very important toour family and those get
displayed.
Kerry (12:24):
But your baskets growing up were you didn't have like a
basket, you just like it was,whatever was purchased at the
store.
Chrisy (12:31):
I think it was probably one of those more lower.
Kerry (12:34):
You know something that was meant to not be kept okay,
disposable type basket, yeah,right, so okay, yeah, I mean,
you know, yeah, my dad wasn'tgonna keep that stuff it had its
purpose of holding candy andthose little crappy toys in it,
and then it was done.
I still have my Easter basketfrom when I was a child.
Chrisy (12:50):
Oh, you have the same one every year.
Same one every year.
Yeah, I still have it.
Kerry (12:53):
And I'm wondering, if the material is.
Is the material you weretalking about that your sister
used?
Was it actually like a basketmaterial, like a raft, tan or
something?
I'm trying to think of the name, but it was a cloth.
Chrisy (13:04):
Well, actually the baskets were bunnies.
She was able to take a basketand then create it appears to be
a bunny sitting with his feet,and then it looks like his
little paws are holding onto thething and his head with the
ears oh that's beautiful and Iwould normally buy the ribbon
(13:25):
that would go around the bunny'sneck.
Yeah, and so each one of mykids has one.
Uh has one specifically forthem.
Kerry (13:31):
Oh, that's great that each of your kids got one from
her.
Chrisy (13:34):
Yes, that's nice, it's, uh, she made some other things
for the kids.
Uh, my oldest, uh, there was astuffed animal that my daughter
liked very much that they didn'tsell.
It was from a show that mydaughter watched frequently, but
there was no stuffed animal ofthis, no stuffy for it.
Kerry (13:50):
Not at the time, so she made one, and she made one oh
how sweet and we still have that.
That's cool.
Chrisy (13:55):
These are things I will not ever part with.
You think.
Oh well, that doesn't say much,but no believe me that means a
lot, and they are put differentplace than everything else Of
course.
So, yeah, no, that's amazing,you have the same basket.
Kerry (14:07):
I still have the same basket and you still have it.
Chrisy (14:09):
I still have it Now.
See, you kept something.
I did You're busted?
You kept something.
Kerry (14:23):
I don have a whole basement, though, which I have
to give DJ Nick some credit,because DJ Nick's been doing
some cleaning, and we weretalking a few episodes ago about
, you know, cleaning up andeverything and we talked about
this.
So, yeah, I've noticed a bigdifference in the studio area
today.
So good job DJ Nick and goodjob Chrissy for letting him do
it.
Chrisy (14:36):
The only way I let him do it was I tried not to be
anywhere around.
Well, I'm proud of you.
Good job.
I did question what was in, andhe's smart.
Kerry (14:44):
He comes down here with black.
Chrisy (14:46):
You can't see in the bag Black bags.
Kerry (14:48):
They're black bags.
Chrisy (14:48):
Good, smart move, and I'm like, and so then I start
touching and then I try to stopmyself, because then I'm like
imagining what's in this bag?
It's going gonna go walk away.
I do, I'm, I'm getting better,well, good, so yeah, no, I don't
have anything like that from mychildhood, which I love hearing
that you do, though I do, I dohave.
Kerry (15:07):
You know I do have some nostalgia, things like that that
I've kept and everything.
I just don't keep a lot of uhknickknacks.
I guess you can say right, butthere are some nostalgia things.
Yes, and then my easter basketas a child is one.
So yeah, Well, but I do stillmake, I still use it.
And yeah, for Easter Jim had tofind his basket.
Oh, did you?
(15:28):
I do, I make, he gets some.
He acts like he.
He acts like he doesn't like itand all annoyed and everything.
But I know the little kid inhim.
Chrisy (15:38):
And if you didn't, do it , he'd be bothered probably,
yeah, probably yeah no, nick andI never did the basket thing.
It was.
I don't know that we everexchanged anything for Easter,
just enjoyed the day together.
Once we had kids, then it wasabout, you know, making their
day for them.
Yeah, no, and I do likedecorating for Easter now.
Granted, I don't do a lotoutside.
(15:58):
I think a couple years I didtry to do the thing where you
hang the eggs on the trees andyou put like the inflatable
bunnies out there.
But if you know anything, youhad an inflatable bunny, a
couple.
Yeah, I used to, so theinflatables don't matter.
Oh, ok, wait, when I sayinflatable, yeah, these are like
old school.
This is.
This predates these newinflatables.
Kerry (16:19):
Oh, okay.
Chrisy (16:20):
They're really actually when I say this.
Kerry (16:22):
They're crappy compared to what they have now they're
almost like a swimming pool blowup oh it's not with the
constant air in the littlemachine and everything.
Oh, no, no, no.
You blow it up like a beachball, basically, and then you
have to tie it to somethingbecause it's going to float away
.
Chrisy (16:40):
It probably stands about , I don't know, like two, three
feet at the most, yeah, and theycome in colors.
Kerry (16:45):
Chrissy, you're showing your height here, because you're
tying two or three feet andyou're putting your hand out at
like a four-foot level.
Chrisy (16:52):
Well, yeah, no, it's probably lower lower.
Kerry (16:57):
But yeah, they smell like pool liner.
Chrisy (16:58):
If anybody had a swimming pool you know a pool
with a liner in it.
Kerry (17:02):
Well, the weather is so unpredictable this time of year.
So to put decorations out atthis time of year you don't know
what's going to happen to it,Because we have the wind.
The wind is going to blow myway.
Chrisy (17:12):
That's why I don't do anything.
I have anxiety over it becauseI can hear the wind out there
and I just imagine all the stuffjust gone blown away.
Kerry (17:18):
I know.
Chrisy (17:19):
But inside, yes, I do have a lot of like little themed
things that I put out thatlight up, that are pretty things
and again with my sister whopassed away, we enjoyed crafts
together for most of my lifewith her.
I appreciate that she gave methat and we would paint.
I have a lovely statues andlittle eggs, ceramic type things
(17:40):
that we painted and didtogether and those are also
prized possessions of mine thatI do put out at Easter.
Kerry (17:47):
So it sounds like Easter was definitely less family
dysfunction.
You have a lot more goodmemories from all the times
we've talked about holidays andfamily and stuff.
This is the most I've seenwhere you have a real.
You can see a smile on yourface.
Chrisy (18:01):
I don't remember a lot of drama for.
Easter, I mean and I know I,because I'm not very religious,
but we did go to Easter SundayMass.
Kerry (18:10):
So I guess, we were one of those types who, all of a
sudden, you were a poinsettiaand a lily you only went to
Christmas and Easter Well, justlily.
Chrisy (18:19):
We're even really bad, and it was usually my sister who
passed away and her husbandbelonged to a Catholic church
that my brother-in-law had grownup in and was a member of for a
long time.
It's where they got married andactually my oldest daughter was
baptized at that church becausethey were my daughter's
godparents.
So we would normally my mom andI, and then probably Nick even
(18:42):
though we were not married, atthat church the family went
there, because my niece andnephew went there, so you would
go to easter sunday.
Yes, on sunday, not the eastervigil I never even knew there
was such a thing, but my husbandhelped introduce me to this
mass, which, if anybody's makinga point to go to this every
(19:04):
year, are there people whoactually that's the mass they
want to go to?
Kerry (19:08):
Oh, my mom.
Every year she had to gobecause because you have to
understand that it's not just alittle Catholic education here
and I'm probably going tomutilate it and my, my good
Catholic sister will probablyscold me after this episode for
probably not getting it right.
But Thursday, monday, thursday,holy Friday or Good Friday and
(19:29):
Easter Vigil Saturday is reallylike one long mass, like it's
not three different masses, it'sall kind of part one, part two,
part three.
Chrisy (19:37):
Oh, no, we got the series, the installments again.
Kerry (19:40):
Yes, the Saturday Mass is several hours long and so my
mom would always want to go tothat one and at the time when we
were taking her to her parishyou know, before she was living
with us when she was stillliving at her house but couldn't
drive it was always like acrapshoot on who was going to
draw the short straw that wouldhave to take her to that because
(20:01):
it was so long.
And the priest at thatparticular church, you know she
really liked him and everything,but he's a little wordy so it
made it extra long.
So it was always like, oh, whodrew the short straw?
I had to go to that.
Chrisy (20:16):
This long is hours long yeah that's the one, and only
one, and only time I went to itand it's because my husband oh
became catholic prior to usgetting married oh, he was not
catholic.
Kerry (20:29):
Yeah, I mean it is sweet.
Did you know what you weregetting into when you went to
that service?
And it's going to be threehours long?
Chrisy (20:34):
no, I, I never went again.
And I and what's funny is, thisis over 30,.
What two 33 years ago?
That this occurred and I stillcan't get over the hostility I
feel about the length of thatMass.
Probably that's when I said youknow what?
(20:54):
I probably don't ever have togo to church again.
You're good for life.
I filled my time in that one.
That is just it's long.
Kerry (21:03):
You know it's wonderful traditions and it's a lot.
But I hear you, it can be along mass.
That's torture.
There's nothing else I can say.
Chrisy (21:13):
I'm sorry For somebody who has a hard time just sitting
.
You know, if you're strong inyour faith and you love being,
you know you're Catholic and youhave that in your heart and
that's wonderful and I knowthere are many people that is
their thing Then I canunderstand why that has so much
value to you.
I'm a horrible human being.
(21:34):
Oh, chrissy, I don't have thatkind of faith.
I don't feel strongly about anyreligion.
You wouldn't probably even sitthrough a movie that was three
hours long.
Of course I would.
I saw Titanic.
Kerry (21:46):
I saw Titanic in the theater eight times.
Well, okay, I was trying tohelp you with that one.
Chrisy (21:52):
No, I'm not looking for a pass because I, like I said, I
scheduled my appointment inhell.
So at this point, there's no,no, nothing to worry about.
Um, but no, yeah, that's atough mass.
So at this point, there'snothing to worry about.
But no, yeah, this is a toughmass.
So what did you guys eat on?
Kerry (22:06):
Easter.
Chrisy (22:06):
Well, because we went to mass with my brother-in-law's
family and their parish was.
A lot of the parishes in ourarea maybe elsewhere again, I
don't want to say it's just ourarea were built by neighborhoods
and families of a specificethnicity.
That were moved into thosecommunities, so different sides
of town.
We had different churches thatwere, of course, open to anyone
(22:27):
who wants to worship, but whenyou look at their history and
traditions, a lot of them arebased in different ethnic groups
.
So my brother-in-law wasCroatian, so this was a Croatian
Catholic church with a lot ofCroatian families.
So when we would go to massthere the day before Easter I
believe maybe I'm wrong, I can'tI don't think it was on Good
(22:47):
Friday, but they would taketheir food that they were going
to be eating for Easter Sundayand have it blessed.
So we would have breakfast atthe lovely lady Millie, who used
to babysit me for New Year'sEve, the one with the tinsel on
the TV.
No, no, that was my aunt'shouse.
Kerry (23:04):
Oh sorry, yeah, no, Millie didn't obscure my view,
pizza rolls, pizza rolls, yes,and Rudolph's shiny New Year.
Chrisy (23:10):
We would have breakfast there with my brother-in-law's
mother and his side of thefamily and we did that for a
really long time and it waskibossy and what was great.
Why is kibossy come up so much?
Well, it just it was we got.
And what was great about thiskibossy?
And I can't express to you howgood it was and I can never
duplicate how this, how she wasable to do this.
(23:32):
I don't know if it's a type ofkibossy she bought, but it was
generally cold.
We ate it cold or it was roomtemperature.
I what are you gagging about?
It was really and I mean it wasawesome.
It was so good.
And what kills me is itprobably sat out.
They probably never didanything once.
It was blessed because it wasblessed.
Now it's got this whole thingon it.
(23:53):
You can't alter, tamper with it.
Nobody ever got sick, carrie, Iswear to Nobody ever got sick.
Kerry (24:00):
Carrie, I swear to God I literally have chills.
Chrisy (24:02):
It was really good and I've tried to do it.
I've bought kielbasa, I've madeit, I've cooked it in the oven,
baked it in the oven and thenI've tried to let it sit out or
put it in the fridge to get itcold.
I still can't make it the wayhers tasted.
It was always good.
My brother, if he listens,maybe he can help me out with
that, but I'm gonna be the onlyone eating it because I you're
passing out over here I'mliterally sitting here holding
(24:22):
his tongue.
Kerry (24:23):
The guy next to me, he don't want to eat that crap I'm
literally having a physicalreaction to that.
Like that literally just sentchills down my spine the, the
hair, the sweat.
Why is?
So many opposed to the kibossy,it's so good I was just at a
little bit of a gag responsewhenever you just said kibossy,
(24:44):
but oh God, I can't even say it.
Chrisy (24:46):
I can't go any further and say it was good.
Kerry (24:49):
And then we had ham Did it have sauerkraut with it.
Chrisy (24:51):
No, no, no, no, no.
It was just.
It stood alone With ham.
We had ham, and we had ham, andthen you had your hard-boiled
eggs.
I can't remember what otherstuff we had.
It was like it was just loadingup on kielbasa, ham and
hard-boiled eggs.
Nobody would have heard of thisafterwards.
(25:11):
Everybody was rooting into it,probably after breakfast.
I never thought of it.
We would go to my mom's then fordinner, my mom and dad's for
our Easter dinner.
It was ham again and generallykielbasa, but it was cooked and
hot, warm or something, I guess.
Do you see the hairs raising onmy every time?
(25:32):
I didn't realize this causedsuch a trauma thing and probably
had some sort of potato dish, Ithink, maybe with her, maybe a
salad.
I'm having a hard timeremembering all the oh no, I
know what.
We used to have a dish.
We can talk again about it whenwe do another episode about
family traditional foods thatare specific to certain families
.
It was called felon.
Don't ask me to spell it, don'tknow how to spell it.
(25:54):
But basically it's like crust,a breading that you make.
It has a specific recipe andthen you fill it with like
potatoes and peppers and onionsand like Romana cheese and you
bake it.
It's really good and you cut itand you kind of eat it with
your hand.
Kerry (26:10):
You kind of cut it in like pieces and for the record,
dj nick and I are both sittinghere gagging and shaking our
heads.
It was, it was good it was goodwell, my brother-in-law their
family.
Chrisy (26:21):
They ate, I guess, what they call blood sausage, which I
think is legitimately blood.
I know I didn't eat that.
Kerry (26:28):
I didn't eat that, but.
But these are.
Chrisy (26:29):
European traditions.
It's more of the what would youcall that, the more Slavic type
areas of Europe.
And you had the hard-boiledeggs, of course, and, oh, easter
bread.
Kerry (26:41):
Oh, easter bread, which is fantastic and that is one of
the things that a lot of thechurches in our area do.
They will make that Easterbread and A lot of the churches
in our area do they will makethat Easter bread and you get
the bread a couple of daysbefore Easter and stuff they
make it and then, yes, that'svery good.
Chrisy (26:52):
Some people have different types.
My mother's was definitely thetraditional type of like Italian
Easter bread.
Kerry (26:57):
Yeah.
Chrisy (26:58):
And she used to have to do it with the yeast and it
would have to rise and she wouldmake it.
Kerry (27:02):
And others are lighter.
They're like, I want to saylike an egg based, or something.
Chrisy (27:06):
Ricotta.
Is that what it is?
I found this recipe, andprobably a lot of people, but
it's lighter, it's fluffier,it's not as heavy as the yeast.
No, and you don't have tomonkey around with the yeast
thing and rising.
This one that I make with thericotta in it tastes just like
my mom's.
Kerry (27:20):
And you didn't save any leftovers for me when I was
coming this week.
Chrisy (27:24):
Probably in the freezer.
Oh, you're in trouble nowYou're going to get fellow won
and Easter bread Next year.
Freezer, I'm not going to giveyou kibosh, you just throw it at
me in horror.
Kerry (27:34):
But yeah, so that's where the.
Chrisy (27:36):
So you guys had, what did you have?
Turkey, Turkey, that's yourfavorite.
Well, I tell you kind ofPrevious episodes.
Kerry (27:43):
we talked about our Christmas and Thanksgiving and
Easter Turkey about our.
Chrisy (27:47):
Christmas and Thanksgiving and Easter, turkey,
yeah, and then, just so, thedecorating.
We didn't decorate.
Kerry (27:52):
Nope, didn't decorate Barely, but we didn't search for
things.
We didn't have an Easter egghunt, yeah, we didn't have an
Easter egg hunt because we huntfor our basket, for our basket,
and the eggs would be eggs thatwe dyed, were already in the
basket, so they were in thebasket.
Chrisy (28:06):
That was hidden.
The Easter egg thing is acontrol issue for me and it's
tough.
Now with the kids I've gottenbetter, but you really, I always
wanted to be specific to makingsure that they were perfect,
like I didn't want them to sitonce.
You dye them.
Sometimes you put themsomewhere to dry, oh, and they
get that weird ring.
Kerry (28:22):
I didn't want that.
Chrisy (28:23):
So I really like making sure the eggs were perfect.
Yeah, dressing nice, having anice meal, maybe going to church
eating the food that wasblessed, and kiboshy that's cold
, and and specific movies.
Kerry (28:36):
I equate I connect with easter I can't believe it's
taken this long for you to bringthe movie well, I'll make it
quick, because I don't want tokeep everybody over easter long,
but because everybody's likeprobably had enough of it since
we're a little bit past it.
Chrisy (28:48):
But great family time and you're looking forward to
spring.
I think it's a lovely time forfamily and and stuff.
Jesus nazareth, of course.
I mean.
I'm sorry I already mentionedthat once, but even for us
non-heavy religious people, Imean good movie, and it's got to
be the one from 1977, uh, andit's got to be the uh, what's
his name?
Fel Fellini.
Who did that one?
(29:08):
No, zeffirelli, zeffirelli.
Kerry (29:10):
Zeffirelli, zeffirelli.
Chrisy (29:12):
Jesus of Nazareth with Robert Powell Definite.
For some reason I always watchSound of Music at Easter.
Kerry (29:16):
Yeah, because that was back in the day, whenever it
would only come on once a year,and that's when they played it
around.
Chrisy (29:22):
Easter yeah.
Kerry (29:30):
Kind was like around christmas.
Yeah, it was, it was in thatweird period, yeah it was, and
then sometimes it would be rightbefore christmas, yeah, but
sound of music definitely.
Yeah, please watch that one.
Chrisy (29:34):
And then there was a couple of the stop action
animation ones like rudolph andeverything, but they were easter
ones and it was here comespeter, here comes peter,
cottontail, right, nick, I don'tknow.
And the easter bunny is comingto town.
Out of those two, everyone Irecommend, the easter bunny is
coming to town, it's better.
I hated the other one.
I know it was casey casem aspeter cottontail.
(29:55):
And then you had vinnie price,mr vincent price, the freaky guy
doing iron tail and thatfreaked me out all the time and
his and I just remember like Iwould be freaked out that my
eggs would turn that colorbecause he was trying to give
people those horrible like theylook like army green eggs.
He was trying to hand those outat Easter.
Kerry (30:12):
Never saw it.
Chrisy (30:14):
I guess, even though it's after Easter, I never saw
it.
You need to sit down andYouTube it and sit and watch it.
Okay, yeah, all right, I'll tryto find it.
I can't believe you didn'twatch these.
Okay, you didn't watch the.
You watched some of theChristmas stuff, I'm sure.
Kerry (30:28):
Yeah, a little bit, but no, no, sound of Music was
probably about it.
Sound of Music, yeah.
And then there was just aDisney movie.
Chrisy (30:37):
For some reason I don't know why I watched it, but it
was fun.
It was called the UglyDachshund and it was a Disney
movie with Dean Jones and it wason TV, or did you?
Kerry (30:45):
go to a movie theater.
Chrisy (30:45):
No, this would have been a later phenomenon for me.
As an adult, I had access to beable to watch this, and they
must have played it on theDisney Channel a lot at spring.
Kerry (30:54):
That would have been way not available to me.
Chrisy (30:56):
Suzanne Plachette was in it and they had dachshunds.
She was crazy about herdachshunds and the husband never
got a manly dog and this puppywas basically turned away by his
mother when he was born.
Kerry (31:08):
Was this a cartoon or like a people?
Chrisy (31:10):
No, it's a regular movie like a Disney movie and the vet
talked him into taking on thispuppy because the mother didn't
want it and it needed to benourished.
And the dachshund just hadpuppies and had plenty of milk.
Kerry (31:22):
And it's called the ugly dachshund.
Chrisy (31:23):
Yeah, he sneaks this dog in with the other dachshunds
but here it's a great day, so hecheesed.
He like lies to his wife thatit's the dog.
Had another puppy and she'slike it looks funny, it don't
look like the other puppies.
What the hell's wrong with thisdog?
And then you know, of course,like in two weeks a dog's like
100 pounds um, but, and not nearas long as a dog, yeah, but no,
(31:44):
it's, it's a good.
If you like those kind of funnostalgic movies, I recommend it
.
Kerry (31:48):
I feel like one other movie that came out I want to
say it was usually in the springwas Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Chrisy (31:55):
Yeah, I know, that's a Dick Van Dyke vehicle, that one.
Kerry (31:57):
I do remember and that was a lot of good memories.
Yeah, I didn't watch that one.
Chrisy (32:01):
I don't know why.
Maybe something about itannoyed me.
I don't want to watch that thecar, oh wow.
So but yeah, love Easter, loveSaturday.
I like when Easter runs alittle late, like it did this
year.
Kerry (32:13):
Yes.
Chrisy (32:13):
When we get those Easters in March it really
throws you off.
Kerry (32:17):
It does.
No, I'm glad that it's latethis year too, because May is
just around the corner.
It's summer.
Chrisy (32:23):
Yeah, you don't have to wait much longer for the warmer
temperatures.
Thank, God.
I know.
So I wonder what everybodyelse's Easter traditions were.
I know, did they eat coldkielbasa and make Carrie yak?
Kerry (32:36):
Every time you say that, literally chills.
Chrisy (32:39):
Yes, but I was eating hot dogs and ice cream, so cold
kielbasa was no problem Ifanything, it was a step up.
That's true, that's true.
Kerry (32:46):
What I want to know is what kind of candy you wanted in
your Easter basket.
That's what I want to know.
Chrisy (32:51):
And then it was a company that was not a sponsor.
Yeah, got a lot of Gorons.
Oh yeah, yes, yes, yes and whatare those little?
Kerry (32:59):
they're tiny little chocolate balls.
They're real little sixletsSixlets, I think they're called
and they come in like a sleeve,like a little tube, like a
little sleeve and there wasdifferent colors and they were
chocolate, that they haddifferent colors, but that was
always my favorite to get atEaster.
I think they were calledSixlets, but I'll have to look
