I'm making Easter dinner today.

We had Easter dinner with Bill's family and it was delicious but it was brisket. I'm baking a ham, sweet potatoes, cranberries, asparagus and wheat rolls. :9

What's everyone else cooking today? :hi:

apricot-raisin chutney :-). And some homemade chapati.

3. My chives are blooming

So it's pizza season here. Homemade crust has chopped parsley, chive greens, sage, oregano, thyme and sumac. Toppings will be sausage, chive blossoms, dried tomatoes.

Dessert: I have an old banana I'm going to buzz into a cheesecake like thing with some roasted rhubarb from the garden mixed in.

5. I love chive blossoms

I throw them in white wine or Champagne vinegar for yummy salad dressings. It's one of my secret ingredients for coleslaw and potato salads. I let them steep for a few days then strain them out otherwise they get kind of gunky....

6. oooh - I like the idea of putting them in coleslaw!

The blossoms tossed in that would look great if I can keep them from getting too mayo-slimed.

4. Not cooking today.

My friend's daughter graduated from law school yesterday and today was the big celebration. I took a peanut butter cheesecake frosted with chocolate truffle so that it looks like a giant Reeses peanut butter cup. I quartered mini-Reeses as garnish but couldn't stay for dessert. For some reason cooking something that rich kind of fills me up. I need hunger pangs for motivation and they aren't coming on today. :hi:
