Every year we go to my husband's aunts house. Lately, I am lazy and we unexpectedly have a new dog. So, we are staying home and hopefully we can make a picnic in the backyard. It has been a long time since I started a foodie thread, so what are your plans/recipes for Easter dinner?
HAVING A PICNIC IN DOWNTOWN D.C. WITH MY HUBAND,UNDER THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS. AM MAKING FRIED CHICKEN ,POTATO SALAD,BUTTERMILK BISCUITS AND TAKING SOME JACK DANIELS.
What kind of dog?
I’m having Bubba Buford Blue ham. That is.....ham in all its wonderful varieties.
Damn. Sounds good.
The first few years after converting to Judaism I tried like heck to find a kosher ham for Passover. No luck though. : )
I vote for the ham. (Unless you’re planning to invite some muzzies over.)
I’ll be flying all day — whatever they are serving in 1st Class, that’s Easter Dinner I suppose.
Some helpful Freepers gave some great advice and she has been quite wonderful lately.
LOL garandgal.
I bought the dastardly little things for all of my grandchildren: asked my seven year old GD if she liked them whilst we were dying eggs yesterday.(in anticipation of stuffing her Easter basket with them on Sunday AM).
She said no, she hates them.
I have to agree: they are pure sugar and have no taste.
Would your husband like mine? I have four packages to auction off on E-Bay. Two chicks and two bunnies in assorted colors.
Maybe I could mix them into the fruit salad and noone would notice. If I chopped them up and added sour cream?

I used to make that dish when teams of people met here to go “flyering”. One year we had a bunch of college kids from Wisconsin Lutheran on our team because they had to earn volunteer points for their political science class. They didn’t know what to do with a hot breakfast! They were polite, but you tell they were not accustomed to breakfast at 5 AM. LOL.
New dog picture?
At least say what kind of new dog?
We all need to go awwww.
Traditionally my current wife (aka my first wife) did a ham dinner for our 2 kids and their families but there has been a serious upheaval so we have been dining alone for most holidays for a year and a half. We haven’t decided what is on tap for Sunday but our dear old retired Pastor died last Sunday night and that adds a degree of additional gloom for us...
What’s flyering? and I must live near you.
We're having our oldest son, his new wife and her parents over for dinner. Mom in law called today to ask what she could bring, so I'll have her bring some dessert. I was planning to make some chocolate bunnies, and Goldbrick Eggs (Egg shapes made of chocolate mixed with chopped pecans) so they could take some home, after dinner.
sounds wonderful....enjoy...
I wouldn't. The family might think that you've gone crazy and added some sort of plastic to your salad...no need to spend Easter Sunday with them wondering if you've gone 'round the bend...LOL!
“there has been a serious upheaval”...
codeword for ?
To me, it might mean that they weren’t behaving and have lost the “right” to be in your presence at the current time.
:-) Sometimes, less is more!
Sorry about losing your Pastor.
Cheese and Sausage Breakfast Casserole
That is one of my favorites! Never done it for Easter though. We will have ham, deviled eggs, slaw, rolls, cheesey potatoes and the best carrot cake in the world.
What are you making for Easter dinner?
Every year we go to my husband’s aunts house. Lately, I am lazy and we unexpectedly have a new dog.
You kinda set up the joke for me.Glad you enjoyed it..
Congratulations on the new dog. I hope you named him “Lucky”. And condolences on the loss of your previous dog. That must hurt.
As to your original question, I haven’t even thought about it. I think we’ll go to brunch after church and then we’ve been invited to share leftovers from a neighbor’s family dinner at her at 5 PM. These will be heavy leftovers, so I don’t suppose I’ll cook at all.
What time is dinner?
