wiseheartI've been busy today. See above.
First, I prepared the eastern ham. With garlic and caraway seed and green pepper, as always. First I cooked it with carrots and parsley roots and other vegetables for an hour and a half. Then I rubbed garlic and caraway seed all over it and put it into the oven for another hour or so. It looks fantastic now, but of course the whole flat stinks of garlic. *g*
Then I typed up some Alternate Voyager stuff and cursed Yahell suggestively several dozen times. It still takes hours for any posts to show up on any of my lists.
Then, since I was in a homicidal mood anyway, I attacked my printer (which had been dead for five months) with a pair of small sewing scissors, a long pin and an eyebrow pincer. I operated on the dratted thing for two hours or so, and now I have no feeling in my right thumb and index finger, but lo and behold! the printer is working again! Well, it sometimes refuses to accept the new sheet of paper, so I have to help manually a little (which means I'll still have to take it to the maintenance guys one day), but at least I can print again.
Now if I could only remember where the stuff is with which we paint the Easter eggs... or the forms in which I usually bake Easter bunnies and lambs... But maybe Mum will remember when she gets home.
Off now to read a little from Ishmael, one of the total of two useful books I found yesterday in the whole Vienna, and to watch some silly court shows on German TV.

Afterwards rub garlic and caraway seed onto the ham (I use garlic paste and gridned seeds,it makes it easier), pour a little oil into a pan and put the whole thing into the oven. It needs about an hour to be ready, and it has to be poured over with its own sauce (or/and with pre-made roast sauce) every ten minutes or so. When it's cooled off, put it into the fridge, and on the next day you can cut paper thin slices off it.
