Well, it's only the wine/beer that we get on weekends.  We still have to 
abstain from meat, fish and dairy products (with the exception of Palm 
Sunday and the Feast of the Annunciation, i.e. March 25, when we get fish 
but not meat or dairy products).

Oh, the joy I remember seeing on that one deacon's face, as he bit into a 
cheeseburger during the feast that began right after the Paschal service 
in the wee hours of Saturday night / Sunday morning.  I wasn't Orthodox at 
the time, but I am now, and I "get" his joy now.  :)
