What's for Dinner #128 - the Pastel Easter Egg Hunt Edition - April 2026

Hmmm. Our funnest Easter was several years ago, when a bunch of us did shrooms while my PIC hid the (chocolate) eggs all over our house, and we competed in finding them. But then shrooms make almost anything fun — save for, perhaps, a colonoscopy :wink:

Bc of my involvement in the badly planned benefit on Easter eve (with many students & townies gone), we decided to postpone our own secular ‘celebration’ of it to next weekend’s Orthodox / Greek Easter. Two lamb shoulders are on the menu, likely prepared two different ways: the smaller one as a youvetsi, the big one is an even bigger ? ATM, but I’ve gotten great recs on this thread:

Sides TBD. While this twist on spanakorizo really spoke to me,

if we’re making youvetsi that would be two orzo dishes, and I’l have to tell the recipe to shuddup & come up with something else :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

A simple maroulosalata might make an appearance, à la the NYT or à la casa lingua,

but thankfully we have some time to plan. First, the guest list…
