I love scalloped potatoes! Your menu sounds great. I'm kind of jealous; we
don't ever prepare a full menu. My hubby usually cooks for himself and I
cook for myself because we like two totally different kinds of foods. I'm a
Pacific-rim type and he's a full-blown hillbilly fare kind-of-guy.

Here's mine (still a work in progress...)

deviled eggs
green salad
deep-fried turkey
steamed asparagus
sweet potatoes
jello salad (we call it "grandma's salad"--the fat-n-sweet kind)
dill and onion bread
rhubarb apple pie

Dinner will be at our cabin--no 'lectric and the oven scares me, so we
do most of the cooking on the grill or stovetop. Baked goods will be
done ahead of time.

It's our first time deep-frying a turkey--usually we brine one or two
and roast them in our pig roaster (we can fit 2 turkeys and a huge ham
on the spit), but since it's a small group this year, we figured
deep-frying would be quicker and less labor intensive--though just as
scary as the oven...

Sounds good. One of these days I may have to do the ham
thing. I have been married for almost 34 years now. I have
done most of the cooking in that time. I had ham steaks two
or three times. I have never done a whole home. It's not
that I hate it. I am just not that interested in it.

Our Easter meal will be around 1 pm because my sister in law
is coming and bringing her husband and picking up her aunt
on the way. It is a two hour drive each way and she does not
like to drive in the dark. We all love lamb so lunch will
be :

Leg of Lamb
Roasted potatoes
carrots
asparagus
salad
fresh rolls (from the bakery)

meringue shells with ice cream and/or whipping cream and
fruit salad

Now, that's a "proper" Easter dinner! I've never understood "ham" at
Easter (other than it rhymes with lamb).

she needs me to make something.

I always wonder when someone brings up a point about Bush, and you
then bring up something that Clinton did, are you saying they are both
wrong? Because that's all it points out to me, places where they both
messed up. It doesn't negate the fact that Bush did wrong; was that
your intention?

That type of argument is like

"Bob shot someone"

"Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

Well, you are welcome to join us at ours where there will be three
roast legs of lamb and one grilled, butterflied one. All marinated in
an herb paste and a red wine pan sauce to go along with it. We're
talking about grilling a little bit of shrimp or scallops also, we'll
see.

A roast turkey, because it was still in our freezer and we're feeding
a lot of people.

Laban bi Khiyar (yogurt and cucumber salad)
Humus
Baba Ghanooj (if eggplant are a good price this week)
Waraq Ounab (stuffed grape leaves, done the proper Arab way with meat
in them)
Tabbouleh
Pita Bread
Kibbeh, I'd love to do them fried, but may not have the time so they
may be baked.
Falafel
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Olives
Taratoor

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

Other people are bringing:

A ham, yes I know.
Possibly some sort of roast beef.
Salad
Pasta salad
Devilled Eggs
Veggie dishes
Chips and Dip
Fruit
Dessert
Drinks

We'll have red, white and sparkling wine and lemonade.

the 2 recipes I'm taking to my daughter's place on easter. This yr I
don't do the turkey!! Don't know if I like this idea or not... She's a
good cook but stuff will be different and changes made....Sigh, letting
go control of holiday stuff ain't easy...But it is less work for me...

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Cafe Cego's Scalloped Potatoes

none

3 pounds red potatoes (about 6-7 large); - peeled
1 large onion (me see note); thinly sliced
----- SAUCE-----
4 cups whipping cream (me see note)
2 tbsp flour (me see note); as thickener
1 clove garlic minced (me see note); to taste use more
salt -- to taste
freshly-ground white pepper --; to taste
ground nutmeg -- to taste
-----TOPPING AND PREP-----
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter -- cut into bits; topping
2 tablespoon butter (me see note); BUTTER PAN

Pre heat oven to 350 and butter the pan.

Slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick in food processor or by hand.

Arrange potato slices evenly in pre buttered pan dish. After each good
(some over-lapping allowed) layer of potatoes add a thin layer of onions.

Whisk cream and FLOUR salt, pepper, GARLIC and nutmeg to taste in bowl.
Pour over potatoes. Sprinkle cheese over potatoes and dot with bits of
butter.

NOTES:

I DOUBLED THE CREAM AS IT SEEMED NOT ENOUGH SO THAT IS WHERE THE FLOUR
CAME
FROM. Half and half would work. as the original recipe made a thin runny
sauce I ALSO ADDED THE ONION.

FUTURE: CAYANNE PEPPER OR GROUND CHIPOLTE PEPPER MIGHT BE NICE IN THIS. a
pinch or so I ALSO MADE THE GARLIC MINCED AND ADDED IT TO THE SAUCE.
Previously you were to rub the pan but that stopped pre-buttering it so
things changed

Bake at 375 degrees until browned and bubbly, 50 minutes.

This recipe yields 6 to 8 servings.

Each of 8 servings: 409 calories; 268 mg sodium; 97 mg cholesterol; 28
grams fat; 33 grams carbohydrates; 9 grams protein; 0.73 gram fiber.

Mmmm. Your menu sounds great (I'll be there with bells on, so you
won't miss me in that crowd)! Don't get me wrong - I'm not against
ham... but it simply *can't* be the only meat on an Easter table.

We've been married almost as long. Some days it seems longer 😉 Just
kidding. I've done a lot of hams as everyone loves it. Leftover ham
makes great sandwiches too. Now the kids have grown there are seldom
leftovers as each takes a bit to take home. I kind of miss the days of
lots of leftover ham. Ham steaks are usually bbq'ed for dinner or fried
for breakfast.

Your meal sounds lovely! We just started into lamb. It's expensive
here but I can get it cheaper in the US. I'm upto cooking lamb chops.
A whole leg of lamb rather scares me yet.

Sounds like a good time to make a Clafouti, which was mentioned in

<shrug> It likely depends on your location. Here lamb is quite
expensive. Ham is somewhat expensive but considerably cheaper than lamb.
Besides, I don't recall an actual reference to "Easter dinner" in
the bible as to what was eaten although there are referances to the
"Last Supper". IMO, since those damn rabbits tend to come out around
Easter reeking havoic on innocent gardens the meal of choice should be
rabbit stew 😉

Over teh aslt couple of days, I've been seeing offers for roasts and
things similar to roasts that are easy to cook. Then there is sparkling
wine and salmon and all kinds of things. I never knew people had special
meals at Easter, other than lots of eggs for breakfast. Maybe it's new
here, though. Supermarkets kooking for ways to get people to spend more
money.

So it's a interesting to see so many people in this ng have special
plans. The one holiday I like is Easter - because it *doesn't* have the
family pressure of obligatory fun like Christmas and such do. But maybe
I've got it all wrong and Easter is liek the other holidays and I just
didn't know. I hope Easter will remain my safe holiday, though 🙂

My treat this year for Easter: matzoh. Haven't had them for about 20
years and am looking forward to having them. I think I'll top them with
cottage cheese. Maybe salmon, too.

Maybe I'll make matzoh balls out of any left over matzoh. But maybe I
won't - there are easier ways for making dumplings, really 🙂
