1. Red lentil and rice soup.

I haven't made this soup in a long time so I guess it's coming up on the soup roster!

6. Just finished with my soup!

Very tasty.



Also made a salad and tried a salad dressing recipe suggested by a friend. Very yummy and actually in addition to a "salad dressing" I would personally use it as s dip with fresh veggies.

3. Traditional, but simple here.

Ham, green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, dinner rolls and custard pie for desert.

4. The triplets' father is cooking.

He is a professional chef and of Greek ancestry. I am hoping that it is lamb and roast potatoes. Not sure about the rest, of course.

5. Rain delay for a planned family picnic. Re-scheduled for tomorrow. So it's what's in the fridge?

8. Darn. Overcast over here, but no rain (so far)

9. It's already clearing here. So tomorrow will be good. Looks to be clear and sunny.

pinto's challenge is - don't eat all the stuff you put together for the family pot luck.

10. What did you put together for the picnic?

[pinto]

13. Flat bread, black forest ham, swiss cheese, dressings. Sliced watermelon and cantaloupe.

[cbayer]

14. Yum, but don't touch!!

7. Beef Paillards with Herb Salad and baked sweet potatoes.

Sounds like you might be back with the program, Lucincda.

Happy Easter to you and yours.

15. Easter means lamb at my house

Only four of us, so not a big piece of rolled leg, with garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Mashed potatoes and gravy, Leipziger Allerlei (a German vegetable medley), strawberries in orange syrup, homemade saffron bread and saffron cake (leftovers from a brunch today), and a boughten raspberry pie, since two of the four don't like breads or cakes with raisins.

My version of Leipziger Allerlei has steamed peas, carrots, cauliflower and asparagus. I sauteed finely chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, stirred in some flour, and used chicken stock for the liquid. Traditionally it has the nice fat, white German "Spargel" (asparagus blanched by piling dirt around the shoots), but American asparagus is a nice springtime taste also.
