My Easter Extravaganza pt. 1

Posted 03-24-2008 at 08:47 AM by RPMcMurphy
This is the first time our families were meeting. I've never had a dinner where 2 complete families met so it was a little exciting. Her parents and Grandparents came and my parents came along with my sister and her boyfriend. We came up with a huuuuge menu. We just kept adding to it....don't mind the "names" much of it was very campy and inside jokey. We've also been watching a lot of Top Chef. We thought it would be neat to print out a menu...

I wish I had a chair like that in my office. That is an incredible spread for 10 people?

That last one looks to me like horseradish root. Rather than an Easter preparation, it could be prep for a Passover seder!
