Easter menus and plans

Easter; I'm going to be Home Alone. However, that will give me time to prepare some chutney/jam/jellies/ hot sauces and some meals for a friend who doesn't like to cook, but DOES like to eat.
Wife and son are going to England on Tuesday, so my days will be mine.
Plus it's going to give me some time to prepare some peanut butter delights for the challenge...
 
I miss "Honey Baked Ham Co®" shops - we had one in Southern Arizona and would probably buy at them least two per year, no such thing here in Cowboyville!! I love Ham, good, well prepared Ham-On-The-Bone.
We'll probably go over to my Mother's Senior Living Community Dining Room for Easter Lunch.
 
I will be making garlic knots instead of garlic bread. And I may add a homemade lemon meringue pie to dessert.
 
SandwichShortOfAPicnic I'm the only person in my extensive family that likes lamb, oh well and my Niece-in-law - that's it!
I'm starting to like the idea of NOT cooking big holiday meals any longer and going over to Mom's dining room! They even include a themed cocktail :cheers:

So far no mention of leg of lamb. Is that not the traditional thing in these parts?

Did you read my OP? I LOVE lamb. It is just about every Easter dinner. I buy a butterflied leg of lamb (basically a boneless leg).

Easter Sunday

Dinner:

Lamb
Lamb Pan-Gravy
Mashed Potatoes
Spinach
Asparagus

I got a whole butterflied and rolled leg of lamb. On sale $9.99 a lb. ($5.00 off a lb. ). It was $70.00 for 7 lbs. I’ll cut into 3 pieces. Three lamb meals for three people. I think that’s a good deal.

Marinate lamb with fresh lemon juice and the zest, fresh garlic, S&P, and olive oil. Marinate for an hour. I do a reverse sear. I sear the lamb in my cast iron pan till nice and brown. It gets finished in the oven till internal temp is between 125F -135F. I make the gravy right in the pan with the drippings.

I used to evaluate their holiday offerings. The reimbursement was up to $75. Unfortunately they discontinued the program. I used to give the ham to friends/family and keep the turkey and sides.

Ah soz. I did read your post but somehow my eyes skipped over the lamb part. Nothing to do with the second extra large night cap I was having, no nothing at all 😆
