We had a wonderful Easter--just the two of us  

 

SV'd lamb chops (which I liked--and I'm not a huge lamb fan but these were good), rice pilaf and asparagus with hollandaise because after I read what @kayb was having I had to copy that.  And, I had to use up 10 egg yolks because I tried once again to make @Kim Shook's favorite Rhulman's angel food cake.  The last time I tried (it was my first ever try at angel food cake) I didn't turn the cake upside down to cool so it turned into a shrinky dink cake lol.  This time I found a pan downstairs--I think my mom gave it to me after my first cake debacle--it's a long pan almost like a Pullman loaf pan and it has feet on the top so I didn't have to find a bottle to rest my other pan on.  Anyway, yay!  I had cake success!

 

I used my Grammy's dishes...I should use them more often.  I love them.

 

 

This is half of the cake.

Sorry about that Mitch. I did know it was you. Don't know where that came from

Looks wonderful, Shelby

I had planned to make roasted rack of lamb and asparagus risotto for Easter dinner, but the forecast was unexpectedly warm--87 degrees--so the racks of lamb went into the freezer and I made schwarma instead.

 

Lamb from the cookbook Jerusalem:

 

 

chicken from the current edition of Food and Wine

 

 

pita (an old recipe from Fine Cooking magazine)

 

 

salad

 

 

there was also rice pilaf and baba ganoush--also from Jerusalem, plus a couple of sauces for the meats.

Wow!   That vegetable paella looks amazing. Can you share the recipe? 

[Anna N]

 

 Ran out of oomph long before dinner time yesterday.   Thank heaven for the freezer and the Instant Pot.

It was very easy to make.  I sauteed two onions, two bell peppers, and four cloves of garlic in olive oil until tender, then added two cups of rice, a good pinch of saffron, and about 1 tsp. each of smoked paprika and cumin, and cooked for a few minutes.  Then I added about three cups of stock, salt and pepper, and brought to a boil, and topped with a pint of cherry tomatoes and a package of thawed artichoke hearts,  I then baked it at 400 for about 25 minutes.  When it came out of the oven, I squeezed over a lemon and topped it with fava beans and parsely, plus a "walnut chorizo" which was just walnuts ground up in a food processor with some olive oil, salt and chorizo seasoning.  This made six servings.

 

I got the idea from one of the recipes that came in my Purple Carrot box last week, but I needed more than two servings so bumped up all of the vegetables and used paella rice instead of the brown basmati rice that came in the Purple Carrot box.

Jumbo ham sandwiches

 

[mgaretz]

A couple of dinners.  Sunday was salmon, cooked SV then torch-seared with a maple-bourbon glaze, served with Brussels Sprouts cooked a la Voltaggio with olive oil and salt:

 

 

Last night was beef stew, made in the electric pressure cooker, with chuck, onion, carrot, potato, parsnip, barley and some dried porcini.  I forgot to put in the peas and bay leaf, but it was yummy nonetheless!

 

 

[sartoric]

Masala dosa (yet again) beetroot leaves curry, steamed rice with crunchy bits, tadka dal, tomato chutney and lime pickle.

How do you make the beetroot leaves curry? When I get beets with the leaves still attached, I'm always wondering what to do with them. I usually just slice them thinly and saute with onions and other greens I might have. But this sounds more specific. The meal looks lovely.

[Captain]

Roast beef, roast spuds, pumpkin and yorkshire pudding.  Very happy.
