This will be an Easter and Passover we will never forget. The coronavirus is keeping us in our homes and away from our family and friends. There will be no communal Easter or Passover Brunch or Dinner and no Easter or Passover services at our Houses of Worship (I’m sure there will be televised services). But if we all “Stay In Place” for the next four weeks or months we will be able to celebrate next year.
Even though we will not be with family or friends we are still going to celebrate with a traditional Easter Brunch and Dinner. There will be less items but there will be plenty for us to eat.
Our Easter Brunch will feature my Mother’s traditional Frittata and my homemade Hot Cross Buns. Hot Cross Buns are traditionally served on Good Friday but we will be enjoying them on Sunday.
If we were going to have company for Easter Dinner I would be making a Roasted Leg of Lamb, but since it is just the two of us I decided to ordered a Honey Baked Ham (they have curbside pickup). Accompanying the ham will be Potatoes Dauphinois #2, Asparagus Mimosa and Dark Cherry-Apple Compote. These accompaniments go great with Lamb as well as Ham. For dessert Jim requested Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
I just put in my order for groceries to be delivered Thursday. We shall see if that goes as planned. If not I will be wrapping my self in plastic bags and be wearing a homemade mask and disposable gloves.
Happy Easter to my Christian family and friends. Happy Passover to my Jewish friends. Hopefully this virus will pass soon.
