Sunday, April 4th, He is Risen....Indeed!!!

We had a lovely weekend with Dad here. I worked Friday night, so Saturday was a bit of a draggy day for me as I was sleeping half of the day and in a coma for the rest....
Yesterday was a joyful celebration of our risen Lord at church and then the three of us had a wonderful Easter lunch. I purchased a crown pork roast at Aldi at Christmas time, but never found the time to have a dinner party with going out of town, work obligations, etc.
I thawed it in the fridge for two days and simply put it in the oven at 325 degrees right before we walked out the door. Isn't it gorgeous??? It was totally preseasoned and I glazed it for the last hour of cooking with a combination of orange juice, soy sauce and white syrup. This was the total meal, which was such a divine welcome to spring and all things blooming: apricot-apple stuffing (thanks to Chuck's chopping), roasted asparagus, flaky rolls, spring greens with lemon vinaigrette, and key lime pie for dessert. My men were so satisfied!!!
