Just finished Easter dinner at our house. I was a busy cook today. The kids are busy washing dishes as I type.
I made:
Roast Lamb
Corn on the cob.
Freshly shelled Green Peas (with sliced water chestnuts)
Acorn Squash
Steamed Zucchini
Broccoli
Fried Rice
Homemade Lemonade
The two different squashes were because I can't eat anything else on this list except those and the lamb (Crohn's disease), so I needed a little variety for myself. I had a little homemade yogurt to go with it. I would have added carrots, but I forgot to buy them yesterday.
How about everyone else? What's for dinner today?

Hmmm. The responses are not at all what I expected. I figured there'd be a couple of lambs, but I figured there'd be a lot more hams.
My family's menu included:
Ham
Slovenian Sausages
Potato Casserole
Sweet Potatoes
Pickled Eggs and Beets

I went to Friend's house and we had ham, bread and various salads.
I never understood how ham became a quintessentially "Easter" meat. Is it so that Christians can thumb their noses at Jews as they celebrate freedom in Christ?
No matter; I enjoyed myself despite my inability to taste anything (is sick T_T)

Heh. Hadn't thought about it that way. Christmas means 'Ham' to a lot of people, too...
For me, Lamb makes a good choice simply because Easter has a Passover connection, and Lamb is the designated main course for Passover. I've served other things some years, though, like a roasting hen, or a brisket (traditional Texas Easter dinner) or yes, a ham. Ham is more common for New Year's, in my house.
It was very nearly duck, this year. I had already bought one, then when I went to get it out of the freezer, I found this boneless leg of lamb I had forgotten about, and decided to go with it, instead. I'll get the duck out once the household leftover supply drops a little.

The wolf and I were sick, so we ended up having some weird canned soup that might have been weird simply *because* we were (are) sick.
