The G.C. {with update}

I know what you are humming thinking.
It’s that time of the year again. General Conference.
Three weeks ago, our family sat down after a Family Home Evening and discussed questions and concerns that our family could pray about in preparation of G.C. this April.
Together we came up with six.
More preparation goes into our conference weekend than you’d think. Sure, we don’t have our usual three-hour-block worth of church meetings, but still, at least in our family, we need to prepare. For us the G.C. weekend is all about the food and snacks… and spiritual enrichment. Mostly spiritual nourishment.

Typically we have on our menu for conference weekend…

• Waffles or cinnamon rolls for breakfast
• Frozen grapes, veggies with ranch, crackers and cheez wiz for snacks
• Cream Cheese Chicken (aka Crockpot Chicken) for dinner
• then while Mike is away at the priesthood session, I’d make cookies so we could eat and discuss the session upon his arrival home.
• Then Sunday is a day of chicken salad. We eat it for most of the day except for breakfast… not without effort of trying… on my part.

Two things throw a wrench in my traditional menu. First, the Priesthood session. Here, it starts at 8:00. Yeah, I’m not gonna be baking cookies that late at night, and forget waiting up for a conversation. Phish.
Second, um, Easter falls on General Conference weekend this year. . .
Do I disrupt my chicken salad binge of happiness (CSBH) for the sake of holiday tradition?
Do I carry on with my CSBH for the sake of G.C. tradition?
OR do I just serve the CSBH with a side of funeral potatoes and call it even?

What do you think, blogdom?

Do you support the CSBH? Or is it time to purge?

Comment and let me know about your G.C. and Easter traditions
and also your stance on the CSBH issue.

See you after conference.

PS I will pledge life-long friendship to anyone who writes a general-conference-themed parody to the song hyper-linked at the beginning of this post. Seriously. I will. Promises.
Void where prohibited.
