Doing a early Easter dinner for grandau who is home on Spring break from New Mexico. Just got the ham glaze on and yams are baking..........trying some white asparagus this year. Rolls, butter and relish tray with strawberry shortcake for desert.
Found a brand new Waterford tablecloth at an estate sale that fit our dining room table exactly.........colors went well with the Royal Doulton Moonlight and Roses pattern and used gold chargers and flatware to complete the blue and gold theme. Didn't do tulips for a table centerpiece but used my green depression ware as serving dishes and kept things simple. I did have lovely damask blue napkins that I really enjoy how they fold and feel to the touch.
Ham was very tasty and altho my white asparagus didn't turn out looking like a French art form......we enjoyed the flavor and textures. We had the dish in Marseille and it was simply elegant and wonderful. I did have Dijon mustard from Beaune and very zesty. Keegan said it was a great contrast to the sweet cherry ham sauce. Yeasty rolls and butter and yams finished the feast.
This will be my family dinner for Easter. Sue had to work till late so we decided to go out on her birthday as it is one week past Easter Sunday and I really didn't want to do another ham dinner back to back.
This was Kat's first family dinner in 3 years and I didn't take a photo but she dressed up and it was fun to have her and Keegan.
Me and Mikey will go out for a brunch Easter Sunday........should be great and leave the dishes for someone else. Have a Blessed Easter everyone.
