Easter Dinner

[msmemory_archive]

The default thing is roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. Hmmm... same old, or something different...?

When we were living "high on the hog" we used to go over to my husband's business partner's house and have crab legs and filet mignon for our big celebrations. :)

Tabâhajah instead of ordinary roast lamb. Keep the rest, unless you see some particularly fat looking green beans out there...

I can just barely conceive of having had that meal often enough to be bored with it, but it strains my credulity. But then, Roast Lamb is my favorite meat, especially with lots of garlic.

got a recipe for those of us for whom potatoes are the only form of carbs this week? :)

Depends on how long ago you last had roast lamb, as compared to how long it has been since you've had some other delicacy.

I tend to avoid lamb, but not due to any lack of love for the delicious stuff. I tend to avoid it because it is in my experience terribly difficult to use well as leftovers. When you're only feeding two people, a hunk of lamb big enough to roast properly will leave you with lots of levftovers.

So, on holidays, I tend to lean towards birds (duck, goose, and turkey), which lend themselves more to recycling.

*very silly*

Fried Chicken!

Hmm. Game Hens with Angel Hair Pasta and fresh corn/peas?

Make good mashed potatoes (ie, not boiled, and don't whip them. I usually microwave.) Don't put in the cream and butter yet. Then plaster them *all over* the lamb. Roast as usual. Eventually, they'll fall off the lamb on the bottom, and the ones on the top will get nice & brown, and they'll all be yummy lamb flavored.

Incidentally, a church near here has a big sign up that says

WORSHIP THE LAMB

... not "the lamb of God," mind you, just, presumably (by the grammar), any lamb. I thought that went out with Baal?

Roast rabbit seems appropriate... ...with chocolate eggs around it.
