The Menu for Your Easter Day?

Is Easter one of those holidays where families get together and have a traditional dinner, like Thanksgiving, et al.? I've been on my own without a family for the past 6 years, since I was 17, so I'm not too keen on these things.. but I don't remember Easter being one of those "big deal" holidays, where you have a traditional big meal.



It is for us. We had the children and grandchildren over yesterday. We played baseball in the park and then wandered around the lake for a while. Came home and had a very nice meal:

Potatoes roasted in olive oil, fresh basil, garlic, and oregano.

Carrots rolled in butter and sprinkled with fresh thyme.

Garlic bread.

Filet mignon on the barbeque sprinkled with garlic.

Apple crisp and strawberry rhubarb pie with whipped cream.

And a nice bottle of merlot for the adults and raspberry cranberry juice for the kids.

It was a lovely family day.....

Ham, beer, mash potatoes, beer, french cut green beans, with almond chips, beer, apple sauce, beer and for dessert BEER!

The funniest part was when the kids saw Grandpa and Grandma hitting one out, and fielding the ball...as my grandson said, Wow, you guys are okay for old people.LOL

Make a nice meal and have some friends over...when I was on the outs with my mother twenty or so years ago, I had a thanksgiving dinner for my friends. It's all about the love in the room, and your good friends can supply that.

Interestingly enough, many "devout" Christians will be eating ham, even though Jesus/Yahshua would never have allowed pig meat at His dinner table. :(

Yes, ham is a 'traditional' meal for Easter in most Christian homes that I know of. Strange, isn't it?

What's unleavened bread?

Bread without yeast, it doesn't rise.

Never had twice baked sweet potato... mmm, sounds interesting.

No cornbread, rolls or biscuits with that?

i'm making swedish meatballs with fresh dill, sherry cream sauce. and there's wild rice mixed into them. they'll go into a nest of mashed taters.

sweet potatoes i'm making with orange juice, brown sugar, and chutney mixed in and poured over them.

purple cabbage and carrot slaw.

parsnips, and angel biscuits, again made with fresh dill.

there's a lot of butter in everything, but i took out the animal fat.

dessert MIGHT be bread pudding, or it might be carrot cake.

Ham, beer, mash potatoes, beer, french cut green beans, with almond chips, beer, apple sauce, beer and for dessert BEER!





Look, the food sounds fantastic.... but, you might want to add some Beer! Beer just would be really great with what you've mentioned. lol
