Know your company is going home after their visit with visions of wonderfully prepared food by you!

Finally heard from my son, and I'll be serving him as well as my grandson Easter lunch.

CHOP SUEY INN! Their $4.95 chop suey special plus an egg roll.

Their great grandparents opened the famous Joy Young downtown B'ham in 1941. It's since been gone, but Joy YOung's tradition of excellent Chinese food still is carried on by the family. Same recipes, everything.

Owner showed me a copy of the original menu, and they were selling their egg rolls for a NICKEL back then.

Chinese was calling my name last night, Glenda. I just pigged out! I just love reading all the different places you lunch!

So, you need to start a post on your Easter lunch menu, okay?? I finally finalized mine today. No more changes--no, no, no!!

A Caesar Salad with chicken strips.

Tonight is baked chicken breast stuffed with Cajun dirty rice, and roasted corn on the cob

I went all out preparing tonight's meal. A bowl of cereal and a slice of roast beef lunchmeat.

Shirley

LOL, Shirley! So glad to hear you aren't healthy EVERY day :-)

Ravencajun, that sounds so good--is the corn on the cob really good this early? Guess we had such a mild winter everything will be earlier than we are used to. True???

Yum, Schoolhouse. I have to remember that since Harry doesn't seem all that hungry these days. Maybe we need to eat lighter.

Barbeque chicken here. Thankfully, we are going out for dinner on Easter. I think it is the only holiday meal we do not prepare. Lots of family will be there. Patti, I cleaned much of the day too! but I always pace myself. Shirley, is that really enough for you to eat?

Pam, no, cereal never was and never will be enough for me for a main meal. The landlord* still hasn't resolved my water problems, so I'm trying not to create more dishes by cooking much. Will have to have something more in about an hour.

*I think I'll sic my KT friends on him soon.

Shirley

Sunny, but cool day today, so I felt like making scalloped potatoes, ham and roasted brussels sprouts. Yum!

Pam25, I try to pace myself, too. It seems like for everything I accomplish, I see two things I hadn't planned on cleaning. :-( You are the wise one for eating out on Easter!!

Shirley, bring him on--you'll have your water problems and anything else you need fixed all in tiptop shape in no time. Right guys?

Jasdip, that sounds so good--got any left over? I could be there by tomorrow night (if I had a passpost that is).

Our restaurants are closed here.

Tonight.....tostados. Beans, then seasoned ground turkey, then cheese, diced avacado, topped with red sauce and sour cream.

Since today was DH's last day of work for the week, we spent a good deal of time loading up the car and truck for another run to the country house tomorrow. Dinner was pretty quick--well, at least not labor intensive--baked potatoes topped with bbq beef, cheddar cheese and sour cream with a side of green beans.

For Easter, we'll be at the country house, and will go out to brunch at a place we like--where they cook up omelettes, crepes, waffles, pancakes to order. Then there are the potatoes, breakfast meets, fresh fruit, pastries.... in a gorgeous setting.

Corn was wonderful very sweet and tender.

DH bought two lovely bone-in hams yesterday - one for the freezer and one for Easter dinner. There will be mashed potatoes and gravy, roasted asparagus, roasted brussels sprouts, cranberries Jezebel and dinner rolls. Not sure about dessert yet. Maybe my "famous" poppyseed torte with walnut custard between the layers.

Glenda, everything's business as usual around here. Even the supermarkets are open.

I'd make tostados, Nicole, if I didn't pile so much topping on it's impossible to eat :-)

Azzalea, was that your last trip to the city? I was so happy to be in one place and stop that back and forth trip when we finally retired.

Rav--I'll check out the corn for sure!

Donna, I had the worst time deciding on a dessert and also a green vegetable (it'll be asparagus). I couldn't decide if I wanted Pavlova, peach cobbler or graham cracker pudding (which is a vanilla custard in a graham cracker crust). Decided on the custard. It's light and delicious and I don't have to worrry about the humidity.

Patti, are you saying your stores are open today??

Everything is closed tighter than a fart here today. Some stores are even closed again on Sunday.

Yesterday we picked up a few specials that started yesterday and you'd think the world was coming to an end. Whenever the stores close for a day, people seem to get in panic mode. :)
