OMG, It all sounds so good. I would love to be having roast leg of lamb except it's too expensive for us.
I'm just making a small roast beef with Yorkshire pudding. (Pudding is currently out of the cool porch "resting") and I'm making roasted carrots and potatoes to go with it. Pretty simple. Thicken the juices from the meat for gravy and done.
Family is far away so we're just having a friend over. I didn't even make a dessert.
Oh my gosh, my mom used to make lamb at Easter about every other year. Alternate years were ham. Sometimes there was something that was completely unexpected. We were probably poor that year and I was too young to know.
I ended up having the corned beef that I didn't cook last month. It was pretty good.
Chicken cordon bleu
Rice pilaf
Green bean casserole
Tossed salad
Asparagus with hollandaise
Homemade orange marmalade bread, Made a loaf at Christmas and froze it.
A glazed spiral ham (Aldi's has them and they aren't expensive and they are good tasting)
Pillsbury grand's biscuits
In laws bringing dessert but not sure what.
Deviled eggs.
2 years ago, I did my first Passover when my Dad and some guests visited us, and it came out very nicely. I was very proud of myself. I lost my Mom 4 years ago and thought she would have enjoyed it. She always did a wonderful job with Passover, even though she didn't particularly enjoy, nor excel, at cooking.
Last year, it was just the 4 of us, and I worked really hard, and nobody seemed to even appreciate it. This year, I am skipping because we will be out of town and I won't mind one bit.
The other day, my 7 year old wanted to know what I was making for Passover and raved about my matzo ball soup. I was like "Where was this love last year when nobody even thanked me?".
I'll be making Lamb Kleftiko as usual, hopefully with asparagus and other nice spring-time vegetables. Saw a recipe for a cold mint-cucumber soup so might try that out as a starter. And something pashka-based for dessert, maybe a swiss roll (did that one year, yum) or little tarts (that recipe is in the same magazine as the soup one I just saw). But I shall also wait for the Easter edition of my food magazine to check for any last minute ideas.
