Home cooks, how was your Easter dinner?

I ordered a chocolate cheesecake from QVC but it arrived in liquid form.

GERG, is that you at op?

Your scallops look good!

It was fine.

I had a cup of noodles. But I got out Mother's best silver to stir them with.

Broccoli and Stilton Soup

Roast Lamb with Roast Potatoes, Green Beans, Roasted Vegetables

Lemon Sorbet

Yes OP, scallops need a ripplingly hot pan to get the crust on them. Hope your dinner went well otherwise?

I had black jelly beans and malted milk balls. I’m very sick with a terrible sore throat.

Homemade gyros, Ruffled potato chips, a delicious pickle and some ice code diet Coke. I enjoyed it.

[quote] GERG, is that you at op? Your scallops look good!

No. There are several clues that I am not the OP.

1. I would never talk about a ‘tablescape.’

2. I don’t own any china from my great aunt.

3. I wouldn’t use pink floral napkins, and I would never fold a napkin into bunny ears.

4. Scallops have to be very dry in order to brown like the scallops shown in the OP post.

I don’t mean to insult the OP in any way.

And you would never say “darkly braised”.

But since you asked, as usual, my meal of prunes and ice cubes, my signature dishes, were a tremendous success.

[quote] And you would never say “darkly braised”.

Oh, right.

One doesn’t braise scallops.

And browning has to precede braising.

Scallops should be quickly seared.

R11, what age are you?

I also would never pair scallops with scalloped potatoes.

Fabulous! McDonalds never disappoints.

"what age are you?"

Old enough to know a pompous blowhard when I see/hear one.

Because referring to prunes and ice cubes and using my name makes you sound like a child or just a real asshole.

I suspect you’re just a real asshole.

Stanley Tucci’s receipe for zucchini pasta, honey roasted carrots and green salad. Lots of chocolate peanut butter eggs.

Crustless Easter pie (like a quiche), fruit salad and Bloody Marys for breakfast. Dinner was manicotti, herb roasted turkey breast, uncured ham, roasted asparagus and carrots, applesauce, cabbage and onions sautéed in butter. So much sodium has my fingers all swollen up today.

Made a meatloaf using veal, pork, beef, and Lipton's Beefy Onion soup mix. Had brown gravy, green beans, and corn to go with it. That meatloaf recipe never disappoints. Having leftovers tonight for dinner.

Bloodies started my day with quiche Lorraine .

Spiral cut ham, potatoes dauphinois, roasted asparagus. Strawberry shortcake for dessert .

Perfectly enjoyable and I hope the same for all of you

R9, well, that's too bad, since you kinda did repeatedly.

My live snails on crushed ice and monkey-brains-mushroom quiche were big hits!
