GRANPA PLANNING EASTER DINNER 2017

The lamb roast is marinating and will be cooked later in the day.
I am making a ragu/meat sauce to use with my homemade egg noodles- spaghetti. A small ham with pineapples spears. Vegetables will include broccoli, mushrooms sauteed in oil with garlic, rosemary potatoes roasted in the oven, red peppers, brussel sprouts, peas and carrots.
Barb makes the appetizers- veggies and dip, olives and pickles, cheese and crackers and fruit platter for the dessert table. The girls bring the remainder of the dessert- cookies and cupcakes.
The little grandchildren have their Easter egg hunt before dinner. Everyone has their favourite beverage.

A little slice of my Canascione with dessert is a must too. I might just have some for breakfast.

GRANPA MAKES A SALAD FOR A BIRTHDAY BASH

Easy request for my daughter's birthday get together. Barb made her devilled eggs and I made a simple tossed salad. Pizza and appetizers- simple meal. Of course a birthday cake from Longos. My kind of simple celebration. Granpa loves to cook but also likes to eat with family.
