Phew, I just finished all the dishes from last nights Easter dinner! Now I get to sit back and get some other things done today, like sewing for the shop. We had such a beautiful Easter Sunday which started with going to Mass at noon, then some lunch out afterwards. We had invited friends over for dinner
where I cooked the usual leg of lamb and seasonal veggies. I must say the lamb was out of this world tasty to me this year. We bought a local grass fed lamb from Whole Foods, and boy was it good. Often times I think the lamb that is sold in the markets from New Zealand has a much more gamy taste and smell. This lamb had none of that, and was so good. Here are a few pictures from the table.
I bought some new chargers. I was lusting over the ones at Pottery Barn, but ended up finding these at Cost Plus, they were priced way cheaper than the PB version. The rest of the decor I had already, and kept it simple.
Always have to have some group shot right?!
The requested cheesecake.
Hope everyone had a great day. I feel refreshed and renewed!!
Welsh lamb for us, an Easter tradition.
ReplyDeleteI have those chargers! (Costco)
ReplyDeleteYum, that lamb sounds really good! Holidays must be so much fun at your house, esp. with you in the kitchen! I didn't do anything for Easter this year except sew and eat chocolate.
