I made that shrimp scampi dish @Aubergine shared again.
Sauce broke, but it was still very good. Going on the list of regulars.

Yeah, my former PCP was hesitant to give it to me back then. I looked straight at him and said “Look at my records. The last time you gave this to me was 2002…Seven. Years. Ago.” He gave it to me knowing I wasn’t abusing it. I’m not even sure they prescribe it anymore.
BUT, I made it through the night without coughing with a nightly dose of CVS brand Robitussin, a Mucinex, and a cough drop tucked into my cheek.

That’s a promising start to your Easter morning. Fingers crossed that it’s a trend.

Well, except for the chicken stock. I’m going to try cooking them with just water and seasonings next time. That’s always worked for me using green lentils.
I also sprinkled it with ras el hanout, and discovered that I don’t really like that blend.

And for me! I guess anything will eventually grow some bacterial critters, given a long enough period of time.
Except Twinkies or a McDonald’s cheeseburger. Those things will be around with the cockroaches when we’re all gone.

Easter Feast - And this will be WFD several other days this week, too.
Special china was inherited from my paternal grandmother. Golden glass serving dish inherited from my maternal grandmother.
Ham with Joy of Cooking’s Spirit Glaze, asparagus with lemony one-egg hollandaise, ripe olives, devilled egg, packaged mashed sweet potatoes (Kevin’s brand), cold pea salad, whole wheat dinner buns.
Lamb cake with strawberries & whipped cream. Cake was baked and frosted yesterday and as noted on WAYB, I unintentionally used only 1/3 of the lemon zest and juice listed for the cake. Happy to say it “aged” nicely and was tender and flavorful today.
Most of the 4.5 pound ham leftovers are now frozen. Some in 2 slice packets with some of the glaze, some thin sliced for future hot ham & Swiss sandwich buns, some w/o extra glaze was cubed before freezing. A few slices are in the fridge for easy meals this week.

The place settings are gorgeous! And the food you prepared looks delicious too. Although when you said you made a lamb cake I initially thought there was lamb in it (such as ground lamb).

It looks very similar to my late maternal grandmother’s as well! Meal looks wonderful.

I thought of that, too, after it was too late to edit. Grin.

My first meal made in my new oven and on my new stovetop!
Roast semi-boneless leg of lamb slathered with a blend of 1 Tbsp each of minced fresh rosemary, minced garlic, 1/2 Tbsp of lemon zest, 1/2 tsp of lemon peel powder, 2 Tbsp of olive oil, and s/p. Roasted until it was 130-135° with my Thermapen, about 20 minutes per lb, at 350°. Let it rest for 20 minutes before slicing.
Sides were roasted potatoes in olive oil, dried thyme, s/p and more of the lemon peel powder, glazed carrots (which weren’t as glazed as I would have liked…tried a recipe touted by TheKitchn as the “best” way to make glazed carrots), and steamed asparagus. Homemade gravy, and some Mrs. Miller’s mint jelly.
A small glass of wine with dinner, since I made it through last night without coughing.
The Easter Bunny didn’t stop at my house, so I made chocolate pudding for dessert.
