Happy Easter ~ What's Going On Your Holiday Table? ~ 4/9/2023

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

This will be only the second holiday that I am NOT cooking!
We're going over to Mom's place for Easter Brunch (we've got the 1pm seating, so really more like linner for us) and they've got quite a spread it seems like:


And then of course the Easter Bunny came to our house for not only DH but Mom too!



HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!

Oh, I love holidays! I get to cook, bake, set a proper table, and enjoy. We are having baked ham, homemade crescent rolls, baked corn, sugar peas, deviled eggs. Can you tell I've been having fun in the kitchen?

 

[Aunt Bea]

Ham, kielbasa, maple glazed carrots, cabbage salad and a small loaf pan spinach lasagna.

I’ll share this with the freezer and still have enough to scoop and nuke my way to the middle of the week.

Oh Wow - so far sounds like you guys are good to go! I've defrosted a couple of Lobster Tails. the plan is Deviled Lobster Tails (Chef John)

but.... the sequel is anybody's guess...
Will it happen? will they get done? Will it go sideways? Will it be a disaster? Will the doorbell ring?

Stay tuned

do you think I've watched too many soaps?

Asparagus soup w/ww toast, meal sized salads.
I spent the afternoon making a huge batch of oatmeal cookies with golden raisins. These are for the neighbors that just had their 4th boy and he is home from the hospital. The extras for my son. We are so happy for them.

Grilled lamb chops, baked potato and garden green beans. Apple crisp for dessert. The crisp was mainly apple sauce with 4 fresh apples cut up and added. Still have a lot of canned apple sauce to use up.

Ramen noodle bowl.

Purchased beef broth cut with a little water, threw in some chunks of garlic and ginger, some star anise, and 1 whole clove. Boiled that for a while, then let it steep. Reheated to serve.

Ramen noodles boiled in salted water, then a few drops of sesame oil.

Sautéed shiitaki mushroom slices.

Roasted red bell slices.

Steamed baby bok choy.

Bean sprouts salad, boiled sprouts in salted water, drained, some microplaned garlic, toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onion, and a little sesame oil.

From the freezer, Asian cured and partially cooked pork belly, sliced, fried and crisped up.

One of the best Ramen bowls we've had in a long time.

Picked up a spoon roast (top sirloin) for cheap and cooked it sous vide for 12 hours. I served it with smashed potatoes (cooked in duck fat) and asparagus. The roast was delicious and as tender as a filet mignon.

The menu gets better with every read! WOW - what an Easter dinner plate from you guys.

Well, the tails made it into the oven... nothing wrong, but .... you know what? just not the same as when you had it with your best friend.

Brandied rabbit in mustard sauce.

Brandied rabbit in mustard sauce.

In a conversation with my friend, I was told that he loved rabbit. Now, I adore bunnies and have a rule that I won't eat what I couldn't kill....so bunnies are totally safe. He said, "What about rabbits?" I inquired what the difference was between bunnies and rabbits. His reply: "A bunny is an adorable creature that nibbles clover and frolics in meadows. A rabbit is a creature that consumes your garden including wiping out your entire cabbage crop and, therefore, belongs in a stew pot."

We had pizza cooked over a wood fire. Not traditional, but allowed us ample time to enjoy what the bunny brought us....

 

[Cooking Goddess]

We had pork tenderloin seasoned with Herbs de Provence and Dijon mustard, crushed potatoes that weren't anywhere near as nice looking as Andy's (but very crisp and tasty), steamed Brussels sprouts for Himself, sautéed asparagus for me. Also a bit of homemade applesauce.

 

[Marlingardener]

Very traditional--baked ham, crescent rolls, sugar peas, deviled eggs, and corn casserole. We had a nice Geverstraminer (or however it's spelled) Gewurstraminer with it.

We don't really celebrate Xtian holidays, so Sunday was just a day to celebrate getting our power back. We used up all our spoons cleaning out the freezer in the fridge and deciding which food would go back for careful examination after defrosting which would be going to the curb. Two bags of freezer food went to the curb. Two bags of regular garbage went to the curb too. We really did not want to miss "garbage night" and have to wait until Wednesday to get it out of the house.

We ordered out: pizza for DH and a crispy chicken sandwich for me with Henckel Trocken to celebrate having power back after four days without. The Henckel was in the fridge for a different reason to celebrate.

The first time I posted my Easter menu of brandied rabbit, many many moons ago in the Food Network forum, a young lady commented "At least the Easter bunny will be coming to my house." I replied "Oh, he's coming to my house too. He just won't be leaving!"
