Another day of fun times and fun food! We started off with drinks and appetizers. Naturally.
Appetizers:
Uncle Rudy’s Easter Pie
Sweet and Spicy Shrimp
Date and Pecan Pesto with Homemade Ricotta
Along with Brie, Hummus, chips an pitas…
And then we moved on to the Main Event:
Ham with Apricot Mustard Glaze
Baked Cod with Salsa Verde
Roasted Potatoes
Roasted Asparagus with Lemon
Roasted Beets
Lentil Salad
Bean Salad
5-Grain Salad
Hot Cross Buns
And the Desserts:
Chocolate Nests
Anise Biscotti and Pistachio Biscotti
Lots of food, fun, and laughter.
The highlights – other than the company – were the desserts… They’re the things we don’t eat very often, anymore. The Pastina Pie and the Limoncello Tiramisù were excellent – and the biscotti were perfection.
The Hot Cross Buns were another surprise. I had never made them before and they were surprisingly good – they’re going to make good ham sandwiches for lunch.
All in all, a very successful day!
