Easter fare

Today I was supposed to go to The Food Project and volunteer, but because I made the decision to eat something that didn't smell quite right yesterday...I'm stuck at home. Yes, I should know better. Hoping that I recover soon, for tomorrow I am hosting Easter dinner!

We're going to have the normal potato salad, sweet potatoes, standard salad, and so on. But feature is going to be meat from Chestnut Farms. It's all about making EVERYONE happy, isn't it?

Kim was kind enough to put a whole chicken into my share this month. I am going to use a recipe that M and B swear by, coating and stuffing the thing with Boursin cheese. Oh yes.

Then there's leg of lamb, which was in my share last month. I haven't chosen a recipe for that yet, but hopefully I can get cooking temperatures and times to match the chicken.

I also have a couple ham steaks saved from last month's share. I am going to make one with a typical pineapple glaze, and another with homemade applesauce. Yum stuff.

Jean and I are hoping to not cook for several days afterwards!

On to other things, this months' share!
  • 1 whole chicken.
  • 2 packagess of 2 pork loin chops.
  • 1 package of 4 pork breakfast patties.
  • 2 packages of ground beef.
  • 1 package of 3 hot Italian sausage.
  • 1 maple-sugar cured bone-in ham steak.
And lastly, Michelle Obama is still working on the White House garden with local kids.
