Quoted message said:I'm going to Steven's sister's home on Wednesday for Passover. Steven
*always* makes these little rolls (can't recall the name) made of Matzo
and
a potato kugel (his mother's recipe). Well... he can't make it. He'll be
gone from early morning until about midnight. I have to make the rolls
and
potato kugel. Wish me luck. I've never made either before 😉 Then of
course it's off to mother's for Easter Sunday. I don't have to make
anything so I'm off the hook there 😉 What is everyone else doing for
Easter and/or Passover?
MIL is doing Easter, which is usually a bone-in ham that she whacks hunks
off of and microwaves. Yes, you're reading it right, the ham does not get
baked in the oven, it's just desiccated in the microwave. Then she usually
dumps maple-flavored pancake syrup on top. This is usually served with
whipped potatoes that may or may not be over-mixed and gluey. Green beans
with bacon bits usually round out the meal. There may also be a salad, often
served with bits of what looks like canned cranberry sauce on top, and no
dressing of any sort. Bacon bits again, and perhaps shreds of orange-colored
cheese-food.
Dessert, I cannot describe adequately, because I always decline. Last time
it was presented as "fruit salad cake" but it looked like every other
dessert she has served when we're there. Coffee is either instant or some
leftover brewed coffee that is kept in a jar in the fridge. She boils water,
puts that in a cup, and adds the refrigerated stuff, so you get about 1/4 or
less of the original strength.
However, she said she might "change up" the menu, and hinted at a buffalo
pot roast that someone gave her that she has in the freezer. This could be
interesting. I've never had her pot roast. Wish me luck.
I'm bringing Bun-Zilla's brother, some buns, and devilled eggs.
