What's for Dinner? - Page 6

I have a strong suspicion that today's Easter dinner at my bro and sis-in-law's will be an Amish theme. They just got back from a trip to Amish country and the word at Rumspringa is that she was scooping up recipe cards right and left. She loves theme entertaining. I should get her and SG together, they'd have a ball!

Roast Leg of Lamb! Beest is torturing us with yummy smells....

DanaC · 04-04-2010, 06:15 PM

Ooooh. Roast leg of lamb! Haven't had that in years.

costs an arm and a .... well it's expensive over here. caught it on sale a while back and froze some.

Lamb isn't that cheap over here nowadays. Price seems to have gone up a lot in recent years.

monster · 04-04-2010, 08:13 PM

it's equivalent to about 8 quid a pound on average, here. Compared to beef, chicken and pork at about 1.5-3 quid.

OMG - thats like the PERFECT meal!

jinx · 04-04-2010, 09:09 PM

Yeah, especially with the prosecco mimosas, steaks on the grill, tater salad, avocado salad, ricotta pie.... that's what we did all day.

It was supposed to be Chipotle, but the fuckers were closed for Easter. (Seriously?! Nobody does anything special past 3 in the afternoon on Easter. You can call your minimum-wage workers back in for the dinner rush.) So instead it was this random Indian place, which turned out to be terrible.

Pie · 04-04-2010, 11:30 PM

Ham
Corn souffle
Snow peas
Salad of arugula, strawberries and walnuts
kumquat and poblano marmalade
Brioche rolls
Carrots (from a box, blurgh)

A sweet Gewurz Spatlese.

Ricotta cheesecake with strawberries and wild blueberries
Flan caramel
Yellow cake with chocolate whipped cream icing

Food = tasty, but not imaginative
going to services at a R.C. Ch = grit my teeth till my head ached
