Easter dinner?
Anyone have plans yet? My mom is making ham. I don't know what all else.
I don't eat ham so I am making baked beans. I got the recipe from Colleen who used to post here. They have a touch of molasses and some Splenda but mainly they get their sweetness from tons of caramelized onions. I also add bacon which her recipe did not have. She didn't really have a formal recipe. Just told me what to put in and I do it to taste. I will mainly be eating the baked beans. My parents always have raw veggies and sometimes a lettuce salad as well. And there will be other things that I know I can't eat. I will be buying some flax muffins for Angela to have for dessert. I might also bring some cheeses. |

Yeah, its Jasmine's 15th birthday Party pies, sausage rolls, cocktail frankfurts with tomato sauce, fairy bread, lollies, chips and birthday cake Normally I would also add in some meats and salads for those who want it but Alex had his appendix out a few days ago so I haven't got round to getting out of the house much. Its already 3.30 pm Thursday so I will do a quick shop for party food and essentials when I go out to refill Alex's antibiotic scripts. Probably go out early Saturday before the crowds and get birthday cake and fresh bread. Pete, my 20yr old and I, just went and collected birthday laybys. A trampoline from K Mart and a swing set from a toy shop. Unfortunately Jasmine went out to the carport and even though she can't read she saw a pic of the trampoline on the box! So we will set that up for her tomorrow. Try and put up the swing set Saturday night while she isn't looking She hasn't found the Easter Eggs yet, despite spending the morning in my room, where they are. Her room and a couple of others were cleaned by a carpet cleaner this morning. What I'd really like is Cheri's Lamb recipe |

I have bought several of them for Angela and they just don't make them like they used to! They are darned hard to dispose of once they break as well. We just got two new kitties so that has kept us busy. Mom is a small 2 year old black cat named Jazzy and her daughter is a 6 month old brown tabby named Ballerina. They are getting into everything! I don't know how Angela will be able to dye the eggs without at least the kitten trying to get into the cups. I did buy two little baskets for the kitties and each one will have a toy and some treats. We didn't even have time to put up our decorations this year. Not that I do a lot of them but we do have some egg shaped lights. And Angela does have an Easter basket. But I told her this year she can just use a regular basket that we already have in the house. Her Easter basket is in the back house along with the grass. I don't dare put the grass in this year. The kitten would have it all over! The kitties are the best Easter present we could get but I will still put a few things in Angela's basket. She no longer believes in the bunny so I will not be hiding eggs. She did complain that the rabbits she gets each year do not look realistic because no rabbit is pink or purple. I know I have gotten her a brown and a white one in past years. Anyway... I found a realistic one for her this year. Hopefully she will like it. |

I know the feeling. My muscles are still recovering from all the walking I had to do this past weekend at the dance convention. When we left, I plopped down on a bench in the parking garage, handed my room key to my husband and said I literally couldn't walk another step. And that was true. We had a bellhop bring in our bags. This particular hotel does not allow you to use the cart and bring your own bags in. And we had far too many to carry in one trip because I had brought food for the entire weekend. Thankfully Angela and I were able to buy two meals there or we would have been living off of hummus, pretzels and green beans. That was pretty much all that was left of the food except for a few snacks. I didn't dare bring much that needed to be refrigerated and that was a good thing because we never did get the fridge. Next time I will be smart and bring a hard sided cooler. There was an ice machine right outside our door. Husband refused to get the bellhop when we left. He had me tip him $20 to bring the bags in. This seemed a bit excessive to me, but I don't know what the standard rate is. We had fewer bags when we left because we did eat most of the food but alas we had plenty of soda left. We did drink some in the room but there was no way to really chill it to take with us when we left the room. |

Easter dinner?
Ozgirl:
This was in the Costco book to cook the lamb. I usually make a boneless leg of lamb and use Ina Garten's Recipe. First Recipe Preheat oven to 500 degrees. 2 tsps minced garlic 1/2 tsp finely chopped rosemary 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper 1/2 tsp dry mustard 2 tsp olive oil 3 french racks of Australian lamb In a small bowl combine garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Add olive oil and stir to make a paste. Coat the top and underside of lamb racks with the paste. Heat a cast iron or other non-nonstick pan over high heat. When very hot, place a lamb rack in the pan, meat side down and sear for 1-2 minutes to brown. (You may have to press the ends of the rack down with a spatula so they meet the pans surface.) Flip to sear the underside. Repeat with each rack, then transfer to roasting pan. Roast for 20-25 minutes for medium rare. 25-30 for medium. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Slice racks between ribs and serve each guest 4 chops with Rosemary Mustard Cream alongside. Second Recipe: Ina Garten's Lamb Recipe for leg of lamb (both recipes for the rub could interchange, pretty much the same) Ingredients 6 large unpeeled garlic cloves 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1 (6-pound) boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and tied Directions Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the oven rack in the lower third of the oven so the lamb will sit in the middle of the oven. Peel 6 the cloves of garlic and place them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Add the rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and butter. Process until the garlic and rosemary are finely minced. Thoroughly coat the top and sides of the lamb with the rosemary mixture. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place the lamb on rack in roasting pan and roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the lamb is 135 degrees (rare) or 145 degrees (medium). Remove from the oven and put the lamb on a platter; cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the lamb to rest for about 20 minutes. Slice and serve |

Last time I made corned beef I roasted it, what a taste sensation! No
one here likes cabbage except me so I tend to not add the cabbage to my boiled corned beef ;( Just go with the path of least resistance But I would certainly have parsnips! My all time favourite veggie, mashed or roasted are the two best ways to have it IMO If you have room, just put the cake in the freezer when you get home. It won't suffer, even if it has partly defrosted on the way home.

Wow, just looked red flannel hash up, it looks super! When I was a child
leftover corned beef was chopped up and put in fritter batter. Ditto lamb (lamb is never leftover in my house now though). I liked tomato sauce on my fritters (ketchup) I wish I had bought some corned meat now, lol. "Peppermint Patootie" > wrote in message news > In article >, > "W.

A hash could have anything in it. How does sweet potato affect you?

I did not like them one bit but perhaps I was expecting them to taste more like a carrot. And they really spiked me. So I guess it's just as well. |

She would make hash with leftover roast beef and potatoes. I don't think she added anything else to it. Maybe some salt. I tried this once and it didn't come out anything like hers. It was just bad and nobody would eat it. I don't know what I did wrong. I got a recipe from the Internet. I believe it just had chopped cooked roast beef and chopped potatoes. Perhaps there was an onion. I don't remember. I actually had to hide the roast beef to make the hash. There is no amount of beef I can make that will be enough. I usually use two crockpots when I make it. I put three or four pounds of beef in one along with some onion. In the other I put more onion, carrots, potatoes and sometimes some celery , mushrooms and peppers as well. Usually I will put a little beef broth in there for flavor. But if I use the peppers and mushrooms I will put a little tomato sauce on both the meat and veg. After we have dinner, I put the meat and veg together in a big dish in the fridge. In a very short amount of time, the meat will just disappear. Nobody seems to touch the veg though. I have yet to catch anyone eating it but I think it is my husband because Angela isn't overly fond of beef. |

Kidney failure. We knew it was only a matter of time. The bad thing is, just days prior I spent over $1,000 to have a growth removed from her eye. Had I known the end was so near I think I would have just left it. She died with a blue stitch in the eye. I only hope that perhaps having it removed made her feel a bit better. But maybe not because she was on pain meds for the eye. |

They would go slimy long before they expired. I have since learned that this means they were left out of refrigeration at some point. I don't know if that was the store's fault or mine because Costco is in a different city. Now I always put them in a cooler. I also will not buy the bananas because of fruit flies. Or the onions and potatoes. The last two bags of onions I bought had many rotten ones in them. And the potatoes always seem to sprout and/or go bad before we can use them. Perhaps thought that is the fault of the enormous bag. I now only buy potatoes in small quantities and only when we need them. My current favorites are about the size of pearl onions. They come in a little bag. You can get yellow, red, or a mix of those and the blue. I just don't like the blue ones. Not sure why. They taste fine. The color is just off-putting to me. One bag is enough for two meals for us. Or I will buy the cheap baking potatoes. |

I used to keep both potatoes and onions in the fridge. Then we began using quite a lot of them so no need. I guess we are eating fewer potatoes these days. Angela's favorite is instant mashed made with water, salt, lots of pepper and Nucoa margarine. |

I don't know where my mom came up with this idea but for a long period of time she would serve us blueberries straight from the freezer in custard cups for dessert. Although I am not a fruit lover, I do like most berries but not blueberries. They are just sickly sweet to me and I can not tolerate them except perhaps finely chopped and mixed with other berries in Jell-O which is what I did when I was pregnant as a way to up my nutrition. The dietician said I had to eat 5 servings of fruit every day or Angela would suffer. Well, I didn't. Was lucky to get one serving per day and Angela came out just fine. I also do not like frozen foods as served in the frozen state. Once in a while if it is super hot and I am outside I might have a craving for a frozen lemonade or a snow cone provided it isn't super sweet. But usually I don't even like Popsicles and I never liked ice cream. Those frozen blueberries were just torture and she insisted we eat them. For some reason they really stained her teeth. They didn't seem to do that to anyone else's, but they turned her teeth an awful shade. So she would grin at me with those purple teeth and then insist we go for a walk. Often it was a walk to the store where we would probably buy bubblegum. The sugary kind. Both of my parents used to insist that it didn't cause cavities. Oddly my cavities pretty much stopped when I put my foot down and refused to chew gum with sugar in it. But I digress... I was always mortified that we would run into someone we knew while my mom had the purple teeth. And I could never get her to brush them before we left. |

Hi Wendy, Things are going good They put me on Actos and it seems to be

They hear the Mother finally decided to have her tubes tied. This was her fifth baby she had to give up. She is hooked on Cocaine........all of he babies but the last one didn't have any drugs in their system when born, but little Maddie had coke in her blood, she tolerated it ok and had no after affects. We're hoping to see her soon too...Life is good. I can't believe my Grandson will 16 next month...I can't be that old...LOL. How are things going for you? Jacquie "W.

Actos can cause congestive heart failure and swollen ankles are a symptom. |
