I hear you. We had donuts for breakfast and I am on my 3rd cocktail- we will probably have wine with dinner. It's Easter, what heck. I may not believe in the Resurrection but I believe in having a good time with your loved ones while the times are to be had.Niiice. We did blueberry lemon pound cake for lunch.

Brunch featured a hash of green chile, eggs, and diced potatoes, and some sausage balls.
Nothing else special on the menu.

as do most 90+yos, me Ma eats like Scrooge counting money - with an urgent, joyless, choking avarice. the extra Kerrygold in the scalloped potatoes made her close her eyes reverentially for a moment, but the brownie parfait - megacrumbles, two ice creams, a raspberry jam & maple caramel both sourced from family members - brought the child into those cloudy eyes. rejoice!

Spent the day with the power going out due to high winds. So no family and power out most the day. Happy Easter.

Had a Zoom call with a co-worker and her husband who owns a restaurant along with a few of our close customers. Made lamb chops on the grill that were fantastic. Also made some red potatoes and green beans with onion/bacon and a ham.
I'm full and nicely buzzed as I paired it with some Bell's Two Hearted All and a bottle of some good Italian Merlot. Can't remember the name, just that it was good.

Went half lazy this year:
Used a $50 Honeybaked ham gift card to buy a roasted turkey Friday and warmed it up for the main course.
Roasted Asparagus + Hot honey glazed carrots + mashed potatoes + gravy + bread + French Silk Pie from Perkins via Door Dash.
Plan was to head out to Fresh market for pie and bread but weather was too bad so we improvised.
Then broke down the carcass (GF loves turkey sandwiches), and boiled to make scratch stock for the first time. Built it up with some aging carrots/celery/onion and a bag of egg noodles I had tucked away in the pantry.
Not gonna lie... it's awesome. Will do this with a turkey carcass every time now.

Charcuterie board turned out PFG all things considered... sourdough bread, sausage, white-truffle honey and balsamic roasted broccoli, fried morels, sautéed fiddleheads, blackened halibut cubes, smoked pork belly, quick-pickle cauliflower and a smoked meatloaf. For sauces, I had a pistachio / toasted sesame oil / rice vinegar pesto and a creamy lime red pepper sauce.

Best thing about Easter ham...is having leftovers to use during the week.
Ham and eggs...going to cut up some into small cubes and fry up almost like bacon to use in a Carbonara later this week. Ham and biscuits. Chop some up and add to pizza as well.
Also...I did a small twist on the scalloped potato recipe I posted earlier in the thread...took some fresh garlic and finely chopped it...sauteed it with the butter at the start before the flour. Then intead of drizzling melted butter over the top...I melted butter, added parmesan and corn flake crumbs and sprinkled that over the top for the last 20 minutes (broiled for 3 minutes to get them extra crispy) and added that great crispy topping to it. Delicious. Though, could hear my mom in my head yelling that it wasn't how she did it.

I was about to post this. Had a fried ham and egg sandwich for breakfast. Definitely, doing Carbonara later this week and going to make a soup with the Ham bone later this week. I will be sick of ham in a week but until then some good eating!

I don't do many soups with ham...posted in my neighborhood page if someone wanted a hambone (and immediately had someone wanting it to make soup)...Im sure the COVID police would frown upon sharing such a thing...but its not like it was doing anything but going in pot of boiling liquid anyway.
Went straight from my carving block to a ziplock baggie to a cooler on my porch til it was picked up.

I do a very simple soup where you create broth out of Ham bone with some water and a couple of bay leaves. Then remove the bone and bay leaves then add in some diced carrots, diced onion, diced potato, a can of kidney beans, some frozen corn and some diced ham. Then salt and pepper to taste. Cook until potato and carrots are done and eat. Very easy and good.

See as much as I like ham...that doesn't sound good to me. Have had some before as my parents used to make soups like that.
Im more of a chicken stock or beef stock based soup kind of guy (same with the family).

I do that every year with the carcass, and if I make soup with it, I use These Reams frozen noodles, they're the best...almost dumpling-like. Try em if you never have and you'll never look back.
