Easter will be simple, mainly because there are only two of us and I do
not want a refrigerator full of leftovers like after Thanksgiving last
year. We are having roast turkey (brined) and whipped potatoes. Of
course I will make gravy as well.

The recipe for the whipped potatoes is he

I normally despise mashed potatoes, but these are awesome. I think this
time I might leave the peels on, because I like a slightly rough texture
and I like the peel taste.

Turkey is "canned dog food?" What the **** are you smoking?

I do not see what this has to do with Easter dinner, but then again, I
am not familiar with how you celebrate it. For all I know you eat your
cats' assholes. I mean, they are cats, it is not like they hide it. Tail
up, Sheldon down!

Easter i real simple this year. With 92+ temperatures, 90% + humidity,
and no air conditioning I don't plan on doing any cooking. I do have
one of the rare hams that the supermarket occasionally gets in for the
gringos in town, but it's staying frozen for the time being.

We may drive up to the lake for a fish dinner or if we chose not to do
that, lots of foods that require little or no cooking - tropical fruit
salad, shrimp cocktail, etc.

We are having roast turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, stuffing, and
whatever other vegetable I can find in the refrigerator. Maybe red
cabbage.

The turkey won't be brined and the mashed potatoes will be made with
potatoes, basil, salt, pepper and olive oil, and maybe a little rice
milk.

(psst- if you have a nice ripe pear, slice it inot that
walnut/gorgonzola salad. Spinach, candied walnuts, gorgonzola, and
pear salad is one of my current favorites. In fact, that was
tonight's supper, although I messed up the walnuts a bit when I made
them last night.)

tasty recipes snipped

I was going to do the traditional duck a l'orange, but found a recipe
for Chinese-style duck with orange and ginger glaze that looked worth
trying. SO is dubious (as usual), but he likes duck. This is a
two-step recipe: you steam the duck to rid it of fat, then roast it to
crisp up the skin. We'll have rice and some sort of Asian salad
alongside, and pavlova for dessert. We've got a boatload of
strawberries, a ripe mango, and some kumquats in syrup that will make a
good fruit topping for the pavlova.

since my in-laws are out of town, i'm making steaks for my husband and I.
they are marinating in a bacon fat/maple syrup/orange juice mixture
deep-fried sweet potato slices, potato salad (my husband's grandmother's
recipe), and steamed asparagus are what im planning as sides (i know; two
kinds of potatoes. but i promised my husband :>)
banana bread for dessert, if i get around to making some :>
