Have anything good for Easter Dinner?
This forum has been to inactive, so for the heck of it...the menu...
Ham shank with root beer and brown sugar glaze Shrimp and Grits Green bean casserole Field peas with snaps Hash Browns My kids love the pineapple and cherries after they're roasted on the ham. Grits are usually prepared with water, these were made with milk and butter, so they were MUCH richer, then the shrimp..nothing special, just some butter and spices. Instead of milk+cream of mushroom, I made the green bean casserole with duxelle and sour cream/cream cheese. Duxelle is a fancy word for sweated-down, chopped mushrooms and onions. It was excellent this way, and I garnished with house made fried onions instead of the weird store-bought kind. Field peas with snaps...kind of like black-eyed peas. Hey...what do you want, it's the south. Just cubed gold potatoes, cooked in a skillet with butter and seasoned salt. Perfect with the ham in my opinion. |

We ordered a 32 cut pizza and a case of beer at work saturday about 2:00. The wife had Easter dinner at 5:30. So I guess my answer would be pizza and beer.

Spiral cut honey glazed ham. Baked beans, Bush's baked beans with some bacon, onion and a little Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce added. Hash brown, sour cream and cheese casserole. Cranberry jello, my great aunt always brings that. Real cranberries chopped up with I don't know what else in jello. Tasty and a nice crunch. My uncle brought a cake that looked too good to cut up. Whole strawberries, black berries, blue berries and raspberries on top and in the middle layer, shaved almonds around the outside. Too many beers, or maybe just the right amount.

Well, guess I was "abnormal" in the menu department. I had called my mother and asked her over for dinner and asked her what she wanted, and this is what we had.
DINNER: Lasagna Italian Sausage Green Beans Homemade Bread Salad with mozerella balls Seafood Salad DESSERT: Fresh Fruit Salad Pistachio salad Oreo Cookie Dessert Cheesecake This was lots of fun to do considering that I went to work at 5am and worked till noon. It was a non-stop day, but all went well and we had a delicious dinner.
