Sheila: Easter Eats


Yesterday I went to Lian's house for Easter. Among the guests were: our parents, Lian's in laws Judy and Brookes, Liz, brother Brendan and wife Laura and four nephews-- Brookes, Sam, Colin and Daniel. As you know, Lian is a great cook. Here she is carving the ham! I also wanted to capture the incredible roasted potatoes and carrots, and the gorgeous asparagus vinaigrette. I believe most of her recipes were from "Cooking Light" but for me, it is called, "Cooking Delicious!" Thanks Lian for making such an amazing dinner. I wish there was something more I could have done besides the dishes!

  • Sheila-
    Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great meal...
    Nice job Lian! You look great and so does that 7lb. ham. :-)

  • Great picture of Lian! My first thought is "yes, those sisters ARE petite!"

    What was the clue? The cupboard doors open over the refrigerator. I come from a tall family, (at 5/8 I'm the second shortes), so leaving doors open resulted in someone wacking their head on the door.

    Seriously, Lian, you look fantastic! And the ham doesn't look bad, either. :)

  • Thank you so much for the Easter photos of the food. I went to visit family in NYC. I expected the standard dinner. Yes, fine china, and each were given a small Easter basket full of goodies,a lovely tablescape etc. HOWEVER, when the meal came out it was pasta and meatballs, grilled shrimp and some grilled tenderloins and a iceberg lettuce salad. Dessert was a grocery store Easter Egg Cake. That is NOT and Easter dinner.
    I was drooling over you lavish meal. I want to come to you house next year. Obviously my family is confused or frozen in NYC to where they forgot what we normally ate for that meal.

  • Lian, you are such a youngest sister! The one who can do everything, and do it well. Your meal looks fabulous! I wish I were your sister. I am just now getting to this because I wasn't around during the holiday.

  • Thanks for all the great compliments! And, I hate to rub it in to the frozen New Yorkers, but it was a record high 93 degrees in Pasadena. No wonder I look a little hot standing over that ham!!I took a swim after dinner.

    See the Chaos Chronicles post for the link to the recipe. It's the March issue of Cooking Light.
