I really need to explore Indian food a little more. I've had it a few times but not from any place I would consider authentic.
Hope you enjoy! :hi:

Tofu "cutlets" with raspberry coulis, green beans, and a giant mess of braised red chard with onions.
Still have no idea what to eat tomorrow, though.

18. Mmmmm, scalloped taters....Yummo! |

We're making a beef roast and mashed potatoes and asparagus. But, not an Easter dinner, I'm having two classmates over to work on a Econ research paper. What fun...
:P
I haven't had game hens in forever! I should learn to make them...If I can make chicken and turkey, I can probably make those, no?

19. they're just minature chickens and one is perfect for Mr. K and I |
|
I just wash and pat them dry, salt the cavity, rub em with whatever herbs strike my fancy, squeeze some lemon juice on it and stick the half lemon rind in the cavity and bake
easy peasy and tasty. once they are roasted, I chop em in half and voila! they are a lot of work to eat though getting all the meat off the little carcass. Our store has them on sale regularly for 2 for $3 so it's hard to pass em up. I usually keep a couple in the freezer.

a night off from the heavy duty cooking, ya know? LOL It's cool, really! I had a little old lady in the grocery store tell me once to sub sweetened condensed milk for half the milk in my cooked (boxed) vanilla pudding and add my bananas. It was the richest, yummiest banana pudding ever!

23. A big ham, because it was on sale. |

We'll be eating ham, ham sandwiches, ham casseroles, eggs n' ham, etc. for quite a while. I'll probably even resort to mac n' cheese and ham. Whatever is cheap is what we have to eat now.

But I sure do. Wish I didn't. I wish someone would hypnotize me and convince me that ham and bacon taste like shit. I really do.
Hope there were lots of other yummy things for you to eat besides ham. Sometimes the side dishes can be a real boon! :hi:

It actually wasn't bad. We had a (pre-glazed) spiral cut ham, and scalloped potatoes. The asparagus was still mushy, but the meal was still above average for that venue.

Okay, fine, so it's too far and you didn't invite me. We're having spicy Portuguese fish stew with oven fried potatoes. It's not an Easter meal, just a Sunday special. It's made with salt cod so the prep started days ago (rehydrating and desalinating the fish.)

in OK, you are more than welcome. No invite needed. I've never had Portuguese fish stew. I'll have to google that one and see what's in it. Doesn't have to be the traditional meal. It's fun to make our own traditions. :hi:

37. That sounds pretty good. |

I never think of fish when I think of soup or stew for some reason.
Salt cod always has a bad rap in our family. When my mom was pregnant with me, my folks lived with my great-grandparents who came here from Italy. Being good Italian Catholics, they always ate fish on Fridays...every Friday. My great-grandma used salt cod, or bacala as it's known in Italian kitchens. The very smell of it made my mother so ill, she hated to go in the house on Fridays. Between that and great-grandpa's little perodi cigars, she had a miserable pregnancy. LOL

As far as I know, we'll be having roast ham (very dry, no doubt), overboiled broccoli, mashed potatoes, pierohi, holubchi, nalysnyky and paska.
I'm going to stuff myself on the latter three.

ethnic favorites. We have ours on holidays, too, I think because not everyone has taken the time to learn to cook them, or to cook for that matter, LOL. But everyone still loves to eat them!
Hope time with family is fun for you. :hi:

Prime rib roast! Sometimes I really miss all the big red meat I used to eat. Just get a little now and then but it's really better that way all the way around.
You guys enjoy your leftovers! :hi:
