Easter Dinner
So did you go for the traditional Easter dinner or did you start your own traditions?
I for one have never been a "traditional" kind of person when it come to holiday meals, so I made stromboli for dinner.

We normally go to Catwoman's mother's, but she couldn't do it this year. So we had some friends over. Here's what was served:
Hors d'Oeuvres
Singha, Dos Equis Lager, Newcastle, Molson Canadian
Foxen Chardonnay
Asparagus and prosciutto in puff pastry
Shiitake mushrooms and parsley in puff pastry
Tropical chicken kabobs with peanut-plantain sauce
(these are skewers of one piece of chicken with two pieces of (alternating) pineapple, mango, papaya or avocado, grilled, with a spicy plantain peanut sauce that RULED)
Green doritos and salsa
Dinner
Grilled kabobs of various types (chicken, beef, scallops and bacon, assorted fish)
Rice Pilaf
Green salad
Dessert (made from scratch by Catwoman, who RULES  (yes, she's here with me)
Bunny Cake
(chocalate cake shaped like a bunny with cool whip frosting, licorice whiskers and gum drop and jelly bean facial features -- yes, it looked just like the Easter Bunny and the kids loved it)
Banana Cream Pie
Coffee

Ham jerky, turkey jerky, or pork jerky with various forms of 'taters, gravy of course, and peas and carrots or a salad with french dressing (the only kind available). The chocolate cake didn't taste like soap for once.
Could've been worse though.
Back home we normally cook a big ham since the family gets together. If it were just the three of us I think it would be another day, dinner-wise.

Roast chicken and pork, with Kumara (similer to sweet potatoes) and potatoes, pumpkin, crackling from the pork.
Ice cream, chocolate and carrot cakes for desert.
Had the cousins around, good night had by all. Full credit to the opposition, it was a game of two halves.

Cooked shredded cabbage, mixed with potatoes and leeks that have been cooked in milk or cream and mashed with a lot butter. It looks like mashed potatoes, but has an unbelievable taste. Low-cal and low-carb as well.

Sweet Potato Crunch
Mix:
3 Cups smashed sweet potatoes
1 Cup sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1/2 Cup sweet milk
1/2 Cup melted butter
Pour in buttered dish and top with mixture of:
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 Cup flour
1 Cup chopped pecans
1/3 Cup softened butter
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes (or until top is nice and crunchy).
Doubled, it will fit in a lasagne pan. There's rarely any left over.
