Easter Butter Lamb

The Baranek wielkanocny, or Easter butter lamb, is a hunk of butter shaped into a lamb to celebrate Easter in Poland and Polish communities around the world. You might find one in your Easter basket or use it as a centerpiece for the holiday feast. If the local priest is blessing baskets of Easter foods before they are laid out for the meal, the butter lamb is always included. They are sold in delis around the holiday or you can make your own at home, with or without a mold. Some food artists even make fluffy wool by grating the butter! The flag that often accompanies the lamb is a St. George cross. Check out a gallery of submitted butter lambs representing many techniques and skill levels, from unfortunate to professional. -via Boing Boing

My Dad's Polish and we had a butter lamb every year on Easter for decades. The high end stores in our town tended to carry them in their dairy section. My dad's got dementia now so he hasn't a clue what a butter lamb is. But it's okay. I'll see him tomorrow and bring him some really good donuts and he'll be a happy camper for an hour or so. Happy Easter, everyone!

@required - that's right. Presumably they don't want one. Nor do I. And it's their money, they can waste it however they choose. No matter how any of us spend our money there will always be those who think we are wasting it.

Another block of witlessness in our civilisation's great pyramid of Stupid. Please, neatorama, spare us such displays of vulgar, post-modern "irony".

Fucking CONSUMERS.

I preferred the video of the visually impaired 100 year old woman using the device to read books and write again for the fist time in years.

No chance of these two mudlarks reading a book, I'll warrant.

Why do you assume they're knowledge-less punks? You see one clip of a video and that's all you assume. These guys have more mastery of physics (skateboarding) and engineering (building) than anyone you probably meet on the street.

(in case you don't realize, they built that skate ramp themselves, which requires more than just having a hammer and nails)

Wow, this video is a slap in the face to every starving person living in this world. Not only was it a waste of money, it wasn't even remotely interesting.

Looking forward to the Frisbee Iphone and Surfing G5 videos bro!
