We started with Hot Cross Buns, an Easter celebration:
I copied the following information on web site I found:
Hot cross buns are traditionally baked for lent, the 40 days before Easter. In the Christian tradition they start on Ash Wednesday, the day after Fat Tuesday. Their greatest day is Good Friday as they are served to commemorate Christ's suffering on the cross. However, the bun acquired mythical properties during the centuries, generally now forgotten. Early literature reveals that the hot cross bun was better known as the Good Friday Bun. Pepys referred to it in his diaries of 1666, and Boswell included it in his Diary for Good Friday in 1778.
We went to church and had a great celebration. We had almost 200 in church today and the excitement was palpable.
After church we came here for a very big meal. I worked on it all weekend and unfortunately it wasn't ready until almost 2.
Candice showed us her new bass and entertained us with a note or two:
We invited Celia and Kenny and he had a tee time at 2:30. So we kind of wolfed it down when it was finally ready.
My Menu:
Roasted Lamb
Roasted Potatoes
Asparagus
Herbed rolls
Strawberry jello
Tossed Salad
Three pepper Quiche
(the pretty peppers that went in to the quiche)Punch
Celia brought her veggie pizza for an appetizer
Citrus cream pies for dessert
Chuck and I had the dishes done and put away by 4 and I am in veg mode. Candice left around 3 and Dad left around 5. The house is quiet again.
Love the times I can entertain and cook, but the older I get, the more recovery time I need.I hope you all had a wonderful day celebrating the ultimate gift of mercy that God gave us in His son Jesus Christ.
