Easter dinner
Comments (5)Yum gandle, your easter dinner sounds so good. DH and I took a short , early morning drive around the neighborhood. It is amazing, even after the drought we're having, that the trees, bushes and flowers are blooming. Beautiful. I fixed "sghetti" (family spelling) and meat balls with freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese. Then I planted some parsely (sp) and chives. Watered my Easter Cactus, that is blooming right on time, despite my irregular care. Our family is working on a family Christmas project for next year, and DS sent some info for that project, and said Merry Christmas in spring....See MoreHow I survived cooking Easter dinner when my oven died
Comments (6)Very funny - in retrospect of course. Your story reminds me of the year my turkey was cooking very well until I opened the oven door to baste, only to find that the oven died. DH rushed the turkey over to my inlaws to finish cooking. Sides were modified to cook on the stove top and grill. However, that year was a breeze compared to the Thanksgiving that we required a visit from our local fire department. I am still trying to block that particular memory. LOL Thank you for sharing your story. I always try to remember my mom's mantra: when God gives you lemons, make lemonade!...See MoreHelp! Too many for Easter dinner....buffet or sit down?
Comments (9)We have 20+ for Easter and Thanksgiving every year, with a lot of young adults there. And I have a smallish galley style kitchen. As others have suggested, we always do buffet style serving with butter and condiments on the tables. Some of the things I do that make it easier are to set up drinks on the patio and appetizers somewhere away from the kitchen. I used to put a table in my office for the teens/tweens that was very popular - they liked being in there by themselves and preferred that arrangement. Sometimes I set tables out on the patio with either heaters or fans, depending on the weather. The bratty teens/tweens have grown to be such charming, intelligent and fun people that we all prefer to have them sit with us, and they keep that whole end of the table laughing. So no more tables in the office. Have fun enjoying your family at Easter. At last count we're having 25 people, possibly 27. I can't wait!

Comments (19)Sleevendog, the avocado pit works for guacamole, but I think the issue is really more the lemon juice and the edamame and how it bleaches out the color a bit. Goes from that bright wonderful green to something less bright. I recently made a salad with red quinoa, farro and fresh garbanzo beans a friend found for me at a farmer's market in Seattle. The next week, with no source for fresh garbanzos, I made it with edamame. I used lots of lemon juice and on day 2 of both salads the green color had faded to look much less appetizing....See Moreratherbesewing
