Crash and I have, in our possession, a whole ham. Well, it was on sale!
Easter dinner, like most of our holiday dinners, will be quite informal,
and we won't have any frou-frou food, but we'll walk away happy (in sweat
pants that stretch along with our stomachs. <G>
Here's our tacky little menu:
Ham
Betty Crocker's Au Gratin Potatoes (I just plain don't care for the real
deal, but I love Betty's).
Crash would be happy if it stopped right there. But, I'll probably put
together some green beans, too (recipe follows).
The closest we might come to dessert would be Watergate Salad (I'll post
that recipe, too).
