Our Easter was pretty great. Church, cooking, cleaning, games, eating, clean-up -- a long day from 5 AM to 10 PM.
The menu was pretty much as I'd posted about, with the addition of fresh strawberries that I found at a good price and fresh mango that my son and daughter-in-law brought. I sent our guests home with lots of leftovers. Still, we have quite a bit of ham left.
Tonight I made toasted ham and cheese sandwiches on some leftover homemade dinner rolls. Very yummy! Tomorrow I'll pull as much of the ham off the bone as I can to freeze, then make ham stock with the bone.
Although I washed most of the dishes last night, I still had a lot of clean-up to do today. I'm tired from Easter and I'm a bit distracted today.
One of my daughters has a chicken-sitting job for a couple of weeks. The "ladies" are older and perhaps not laying as much or regularly.
But my daughter has collected 2 eggs this week. One of the hens is having a little issue (that's what's distracting me this afternoon). My daughter has emailed the woman who owns the hens. However, they're out of the country and my daughter hasn't heard back from them yet.
I hope to have more energy tomorrow. How was your Easter?
That was a long day on Easter. I'm not surprised you're tired. I hope you have nothing much planned for this week so you can rest up.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a nice Easter. We had an enjoyable day. Our church does an extended coffee time, with lots of baked goods, on Easter, so we were able to connect with several people after the service who we don't often see. My daughter was home for a long weekend, and that was extra special. She traveled with her band class over spring break, so we haven't had her at home in awhile.
ReplyDeleteHope you can find some time this week to rest.
ReplyDeleteWe had a quiet Easter with our two oldest local adult children over for dinner. Very simple, ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, 7 layer salad, dinner rolls, and lemon dessert. We divided the leftovers so everyone had a meal for Monday. I put a little bit of ham in the freezer from the big ham for a use later this spring and made ham broth from the bone. Tucked that in the freezer as well.
