Easter Dinner

Yesterday we went to my parent's house for Easter dinner. My mom came up with the menu ideas and I helped her cook. Our meal included ham, kielbasa and rack of lamb (more on the lamb later):


... tomatoes and asparagus tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper:


... and then roasted until the tomatoes burst:


... and the asparagus became tender:


I made deviled eggs for the first time and I was really pleased with how good they turned out:


My mom made her famous (and totally addictive) potato salad:


And we got sliced rye bread from the bakery:


Now, more about the lamb. We used this recipe from Emeril and it was excellent. Here I am adding the bread crumb and cheese mixture to the racks:


The smell of the garlic and mustard crust was sensational and really permeated the house. Yum! Here's the table all laid out:


My plate with a little of everything:


For dessert my mom made her exceptionally good lemon cheesecake:


... beautifully decorated with fresh raspberries. We also made a sauce using frozen raspberries and raspberry jam to decorate the plate:


Another outstanding holiday meal. Thanks, Mom, for letting me take over your kitchen. :)
