It's Easter dinner at Sophie's Hispanic church after the service at 1pm.
Tonight we're going to get Chinese from China Dragon.
My boys and grandies are in Pittsburgh and Celina.
Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone. I feel better today and temperature was only 99.5 F.

DD's and I made the cheesecake. It's in the oven now. Hopefully I will get the meat pie made later.

Half of Easter dinner (stuffed artichokes and spinach salad) will be postponed till tomorrow.

BUT we did color the eggs.

Smoked chicken,fried chicken, ham, scalloped potatoes, corn stuffing, bread stuffing, coleslaw, broccoli cheese casserole and a croissant. Ugh!
Of course, Sophie was one of the servers - she always piles it on.
Do I look like I'm starving? Lol
:tongue:
Needless to say, no Chinese tonight.

Well with the help of my DD's today was very productive. Although dinner was a bit late because I needed to take my time it was very good. Some dishes will be postponed till tomorrow.

After yesterday's carb and heartburn nightmare, I'm not sure.
That smoked chicken and ham had me running for the Tums.

Everybody's Easter meals look a little different this year! Mine, too.

Dad is up visiting this year. On Saturday night, we had our traditional Polish dinner: kielbasa, cheese pierogi, sauerkraut pierogi, hard boiled eggs, horseradish, Polish seeded rye bread and asparagus.

On Sunday, we went to my friend and neighbor, Kathy's house for HER traditional Easter dinner: delivery Chinese food! Kathy sets a beautiful Chinese table for the meal and we had a great time, both nights.

P.S. Peep, what was your protein for your Easter dinner? Looks wonderful, but I can't tell what it is.

Your meals look and sound wonderful Lee.

Thank you Lee. Easter dinner was steamed asparagus topped with butter & fresh grated Parmesan Reggiano & Pecorino Romano cheeses, small pasta shells in a creamy garlic and chive sauce and lamb loin chops braised in chicken stock, fresh garlic & fresh lemon juice.

Last night family had Chinese and I had a slice of meat pie & a hard boiled egg.


P.S. On a side note:

We have been fostering a baby kitty. On Saturday morning DD #2 said she heard a kitty crying for about an hour. She waited for the rain to stop before she went to look. She went outside and found a tiny kitty covered in mud. The momma was no where around. She kept going out to see if the mama came back for the baby but she never came back. I hope the mama is OK. We think it's a girl. She still has blue eyes and tiny teeth. But she is tiny. DD took her to work after going to get baby kitty milk and a bottle. Her store manager told her to bring the baby to work. The store managers mom has a co-worker who wants her but can't take her till shes old enough to be weened and use the litter box. Shes an EMT so can't spend the time at home all day taking care of her. DD and I have been caring for her. The woman has named her Bella.

Here's baby Bella.

I have been sick (still am feeling lousy). So DD took care of her on Easter and I fed her twice yesterday. I don't think I can get her sick.

She's such a little bean. Not more than a handful.

My biggest worry is we will all get so attached to her.

We had BLT's on multi grain bread. Hopefully DD#2 will help me with stuffed artichokes.

New England Boiled Dinner, with traditional "grey" corned beef, done by the butcher in town. This was Dad's choice.

I haven't had grey corned beef since I was a kid - it was delicious! More flavorful than the red.

Pulled pork chili with mini cheese quesadillas tonight.

There's an interesting link to the food service company where the pork originates.
https://www.misticafoods.com
We got this last month in Toledo at a Mexican food store.
The rest will be used in sandwiches later in the week.

This chili was the bomb.
The pork is seasoned just perfect, but I added a tiny bit of Adobo.
Cheesy quesadillas for dipping.
