Howdy, kids. Do you ever get a bit fed up with multi-course, heavy, traditional holiday meals? I just snapped - feel that I can't do it anymore - and decided to make a relatively light, simple Easter dinner!
Menu:
Salad of mixed greens/avocado/pears/sliced almonds with plain
made-from-scratch salad dressing
Home-made Easter bread (a.k.a. Paska - the bread with lots of
eggs.)
Butter/home made pickles/jam.
Egg salad.
Tea & Berry Crisp.
Well, I am just waiting to see the diners' faces. One in particular is a difficult person who loves to eat huge quantities of several different kinds of rich food when he comes here. He is not above making demands right at the table for something that he thinks he should have but which isn't there!!!
My question: has anyone here ever done something really different for an Easter (or other big holiday) meal with guests? Dying to know!
I feel light hearted and happy just thinking of not standing over a stove for hours!
