what's for easter/passover?
By: Queenie Date: April 15, 2022, 10:08 am

I'm attending a queenie clan thing as a guest and all I have to
bring is a salad, so of course I will also bring dessert, wine,
and flowers for the hostess. I expect that there will be lamb
and ham, something with spring peas and/or asparagus, two or
three kinds of potatoes, and oh yeah, salad. There are vegans
in the group so I'll put the goat cheese crumbles on the side.

Easter dinner: ham, sweet potatoes, a nice salad with brussels
sprouts and other salad junk. Probably a pound cake, but I've
never made one before.

While I would have preferred either lamb or a turkey, I bought
what I could find at my closest grocery, so ham it is.
Easter dinner will be ham, roasted brussel sprouts, carrots and
potatoes and a salad. Perhaps brownies.
I'm stealing a slice of the ham to make a quiche today.
Every time I get a ham, I'm reminded of the quote in my old Joy
of Cooking - "Eternity is a ham and two people."
I am looking forward to a navy bean soup made with the ham bone.
Which I will enjoy at least as much as the actual ham dinner.

Easter breakfast? The same as for my entire life: babka and
hard boiled Easter eggs. :) This one will be chocolate babka,
which should be fairly close to heavenly!
Dinner will be a roast chicken, new potatoes, baby carrots,
homemade bread.
Dessert will be an Easter cake, most likely homemade vanilla,
icing TBD. So many ways to go on this one!

I have no idea to some extent. We're doing a delayed Seder this
year for logistical reasons, but I know the following things
will be present:
• Brisket
• Roast Chicken
• Matzoh Ball Soup
• Gefilte Fish
• Charoset (omg I need Charoset so much right now...)
• Flourless Chocolate Torte (which is the most decadent filling
thing you've ever had...)
• Matzoh Farfel Kugel
• Caramel Matzoh Crunch aka Crack, Recipe:

Need to talk to my sister and figure out what we're doing about
dessert because desserts were my mom's gig, and I was her sous
chef on that one and reviewer of recipes and so on, and this
will be the first time we've done it without mom.
And probably there will be a vegetable or two.
Curse you, Queenie. Now I need all of this except the gefilte
fish.

Our Seder menu:
We made:

-Gondi (a Persian-Jewish soup with chickpea & ground chicken
meatballs)
-Yemenite charoset
-Pomegranate roasted carrots with sumac and fresh herbs
-Flourless chocolate cake
Guests made:
-literally 3 other types of charoset (Greek, Turkish, Ashkenazi)
-Matzo crack (vegan, somehow)
-Salad
-A whole cut of London broil??? (he brought it raw and
marinading and commandeered our oven)
And of course there was a ton of wine and plain matzo.

Someone served a side they called corn casserole, which is
similar to a corn "pudding" I think? Corn, some sort of
cornbread-like base, cheese, butter. I'm trying not to think
about the sheer number of carbs. But gosh it was good.

Thanks to all the discussions about potato salad here recently,
I ended up making a potato salad to go with my ham.
I found a recipe that used herbs + lemon juice (also a little
olive oil and mustard) since I wanted to avoid a mayo-based
dressing. I ended up increasing the seasonings, including
adding capers , and it was pretty good. But a lot more like a
pesto with less oil and no cheese than a potato salad.
