Our actual dinner (finally): grilled lamb loin & shoulder chops that had been marinating since yesterday morning,
fasolakia (careful with those now! 
)
and Greek lemon potatoes.
A lovely French rosé to go with. Booze break can wait another day.

I have rolls and rolls of that cohesive bandage. You can get it in rainbow colors!!! It’s a fabulous invention. Also have some of those splints. I tripped and slammed my hand into a piece of furniture and I figured I’d cracked a knuckle. So someone brought me splints. That and the cohesive bandages did the trick.
Hope you heal up quickly!!

The lamb was fantastic, and I would have been happy eating just that and potatoes! But of course I ate a bit of everything 
:
I did come home with some lamb, and a couple of pieces of cheese pie. And some cookies somehow snuck in too, never mind my protesting

Lamb shoulder with lemon, oregano and rosemary. This is local lamb from the farmers’ market in St Thomas, Ontario. The lamb was raised in Sparta, Ontario.

If you visit a ranch supply store you can get the bandage material with paw prints printed on it.

I didn’t really do anything different from last year. Pretty much the same Easter dinner from 2024. I was a bit excited thinking about what to do with the leftover ham. And there was A LOT of leftover ham.
I took a nice dinner up to Neighbor #2 and some extra ham for her to munch on next week.
I put the bone out for the local Turkey Buzzard, he needs to eat too.

I got a piping bag as a present. I’ve tried it for cakes, but even though I’ve had it for 2 batches of deviled eggs, I’ve never managed to do the whole star-tip thing for them.

I usually just use the ziplock bag, cut a corner off, squeeze thru shortcut. But yesterday was not the day for that.

I do that too. The trouble with the piping bag & the star tip is that you need a pretty good volume of egg yolk, and I’m never making more than two deviled eggs at a time.
My minimum is a dozen (6 eggs) just to be worth the flippin’ hassle.

I once made mustard from seeds I harvested. I live for hassle, apparently.
