Happy Friday!

Every year my husband and I host the family for a Kosher Easter dinner.  We do this because:


a) I am Jewish
b) The hubby is not; and
c) I keep kosher during Passover


So for the most part Passover and Easter collide, so this was the best compromise.  We have over the years, worked out a pretty good menu that we can prepare on the limited dishes, cookware and bake-ware we have available during this time of year.


Our menu this year is Leg of Lamb, Seared Tuna appy, my FIL's Lemon soup (with matzo instead of breadcrumbs), Potato Pancakes, Mashed (for the hubby) and some nice spring vegetables.  Pre-dinner snacks are usually dips and crudities (including the famous Tam-Tam crackers.)


My darling son usually helps the hubby prepare the tuna, but he is (sob!) still away at college and therefore I will be pressed into service.  I would rather not help with this - as the hubby gets a bit frantic when he cooks - but I will just remember to keep quiet about my ideas for the plating and let it be.


I am going to fry the potato pancakes early in the day, so I am in the kitchen as little as possible when the meal is served.  One of the things I have learned  is that it is best for our marriage of we don't overlap when cooking as our styles are very different and do not mesh at all!  But it's good to learn and the food always comes out great!


So, I am off to do some last minute shopping for Sunday - it looks like I have no Kosher measuring cups/spoons, so I have to grab them today.  It seems every year I learn that we need something new in the KOP bin!  Pretty soon it will be a fully stocked kitchen I can give to my son when he moves out - lol!


Hope everyone has a happy Easter, a great meal and an easy end to Passover!
