Brats done on the grill Easter dinner appetizers Ham, creamy mustard sauce, stewed tomatoes, macaroni salad, roasted asparagus and scalloped taters

Your kitchen is going to be great! I can't wait to see the finished product. Your stools look a heck-of-a-lot more comfy than mine do. I have a love/hate relationship with ours. They are uncomfortable, BUT they fit under the island in the middle of the kitchen so perfectly and I love that they can be out of the way like that. Can't wait to see dinner! We didn't have to go to a family dinner today (yay!) so we're doing a mini Easter dinner.

I've used those before. I think they're pretty good. Not as good as the long, skinny ones, IMO. They are a bit more....pulpy??? I sliced and salted mine and let them sit for a while to get some of the moisture out.

Cool. You guys have a band saw.

I got this book in the mail yesterday and I can't put it down. It's really, really good. Many references (so far) to all of the food in the cookbook.

Those soup croutons are the first thing that caught my eye on the table. They look like nekkid spaghetti o's. I'm dying to try them. Must google and order some. I wonder how they shape them so small and round like that?

Sure doesn't look boring to me! I love morels. I can't wait until they start growing here *drooling*.

Pasta, sushi, caviar. Pasta, sushi, caviar. Pasta, sushi, caviar.

That brisket looks SO good. I want to make that today, but I only have venison roasts *sigh*. I'm adding brisket to my shopping list! I have been reading online about the traditions of Seder night. Did you hide the Afikoman? I likened that to putting a bean in a king cake during Mardi Gras. I definitely like the part about having to drink four glasses of wine. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures and learning more.

Hi Pam! I'm excited to see into your life this week Yum on the liver. I can't eat oranges at my desk.....I end up with juice all over and papers stuck to my hands.

LOVE the cat staring longingly at the contents--I'm assuming the open tuna! Or....wait.....your cat looks remarkably like mine A.K.A. Dr. Hannibal Lector. I'm away from my house at the moment, did the good doctor jump ship and run away to your house?

OMG another burger that is making me DROOL. I'm so ready for a new invention that let's us reach out and take a bite through the screen! I did that pizza on a stone in the oven that had been pre-heated to 500 degrees for about an hour. It usually takes around 12 to 17 minutes for the pizza to be done to our likeness. I put the egg on with about 3 minutes to go. It was almost better than sex...almost...

I love the boiled coot and mixed knuckles. The healing beers book also caught my eye.....I kinda wish you had a healing wines one as that's my drink of choice lol.

I need to branch out and make lettuce cups. Ann's look so good--especially on a hot day here in Kansas. Bruce, I also need to try your fish recipe. I've never been a huge fan of tomato with fish, but yours look delicious. I think I'd like it with some kick from the jalapenos in it. Mifi, I'm on a cheeseburger kick and yours looks sooooo gooey and yummy. A few meals to share before we venture over to Hot Springs (look out Kayb lol) Smoked chicken on rye with roasted asparagus Italian sausage, olive, mushroom pizza Puff pastry stuffed with prosciutto, asparagus and baby Swiss topped with a tangy honey mustard sauce

I love malt vinegar on both my fish and my chips. I wonder if kangaroo is similar to venison?

My onions are up. My asparagus is going wild. And, for once, the lilacs didn't freeze off.

I feel your pain about the couch. I've become very creative with blankets for hiding the various holes....sigh... HOLY COW on the cost of the bananas. It's only 8:45 a.m. here, but I think your drink looks lovely and refreshing. Has me wishing it was cocktail hour here.

Oh wow, I also had never heard of canneles, so I used my trusty google and researched. I just got the mold that you use from Fed Ex on Friday. I'm so exited to try!

Welcome home! Take your time... you've got to be exhausted. Plus, PJ and your wife need some hugs and kisses.

Yay!!!! I'm excited for this week. I've always wanted to learn how to make pottery.

Oh, thank you for checking Sigh, someone (it might have been me) put the rotisserie too close there and it got kinda hot...

Hi everyone! I'm starting at Miss Kim's delicious looking ham and cheese muffins and working backwards to each of your yummy looking meals. Just tell me what time to be at your respective houses Fried hot wings with Guinness dipped onion rings Juicy Lucy's again...it's an addiction Venison tacos, rice and beans I made some yummy bagels so we had salmon and bagels for a late lunch Venison corned beef on rye And, spaghetti red

You guys have to be the luckiest people I know.

You're killing me and you're only at breakfast *faint* Those razor clams look so fresh.

OH MY GOSH. I've NEVER seen such incredible pasta porn. Three sauces--what a fabulous idea. I MUST do this.
