What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
All about a letg of lamb... probably simply roasted after given a good rub down with some herby goodness.

Serious Cocktails: What's New (and Old) in American Whiskey
Can't seem to put down the Black Maple Hill Bourbon. Soooo delicious.

Why Pepperoni Pizza Sucks
Leona's in Chicago does a Pasta Pizza that is really good. One heck of a carb load, but delish.
The Vanilla Ice Cream Wars
As far as taste goes I really don't think there's a difference - but I really enjoy me some black specks, and make sure to add them to mine at home.
Some *do* say you eat with your eyes... right?

Denver-based Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey. Would be Bourbon but for the lack of corn - they use barley instead. Tasty. Also, the High West Rendezvous Rye mentioned makes a very nice Sazerac - extra spicy.

We have a bottle of Booker's (still in its wooden box) that we're saving for when the weather gets a little colder, but usually Knob Creek is my go-to for the winter months.

We had Pork Roast.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Neither. Sort of. We're having a pork roast. Cuban-style, which for some reason we call peegleeg. With black beans and rice. And plantains. Boy, are the inlaws going to be surprised. hehe.

Ham and a standing rib roast.

Even if I celebrated Easter and served one of these, I wouldn't want to after seeing these pictures of the animals! Jeez, way to make us feel like barbarians :)

Thursday I picked up an absolutely gorgeous semi-boneless leg of lamb. It's even free-range!!
Unfortunately, I had to stuff it into the freezer because our primary Easter dish will be a spiral ham. (On which I will nibble - enough so as to not draw attention to myself - while I concentrate on the many delicious side dishes instead. So while the rest of the family happily eats and enjoys the ham, I will be enjoying an assortment of cheeses, asparagus w/ Hollandaise sauce, steamed carrots, scalloped potatoes, and homemade applesauce.)
PS: @erikkaa - are you able to share, or is your "amazing... and... insanely delicious" lamb recipe a deep dark family secret?
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Neither - I don't eat pork because (IMHO) pigs are treated so poorly and I don't eat lamb because my Dad always called my Mom Lambie when I was a kid. It seems wrong. :) We are having a turkey.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb. My sister is obsessed with a recipe that I make with it and has specially requested lamb for the family Easter dinner. I can't say I'm upset, it is an amazing recipe and is insanely delicious!

Tofu!
Why did you guys pick the cutest animal pictures ever? Easter guilt?
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Ham...... with a cripsy glaze. Match that up with homemade macaroni and cheese and green beans with roasted corn topped with parm regg and romano cheese. Yum!
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb, I don't really care for the ham.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb, roasted or grilled. Never really liked plain ham for Easter. Fortunately when I was growing up, there were always "sides" -- stuffed artichokes, manicotti, roasted red peppers, eggplant parm -- so I certainly didn't suffer.

@studyzone I miss my grandma's too! And Easter dinner was one of my favorites with my maternal Grandma.
@nightowl.. something wonderfully bizzare about rabbit and carrot cake for Easter dinner
Oh yea, Ham, but i'd rather have Lamb.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
I guess it's obvious I'm a vegetarian because I want to hug both of them. Together. In one big, squishy hug.
Growing up we always had ham, though. With cloves all studded up in it and pineapple slices. My mom never cooked lamb. The best part about Easter is the jelly beans as far as I'm concerned anyway.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Ham!!! Mmmm, so delicious. I just can't bear to eat those cute baby lambs no matter how succulent and flavorful.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Both, baby, both!
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb here with asparagus and some kind of starch side dish - maybe potatoes Anna?
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Neither, I'm making a big ol roast Turkey. Traditional for Thanksgiving, perhaps, but there's nothing quite like having a big roast bird when you have people over.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb, grilled chunks of shoulder marinated in white wine, herbs, lemon, garlic, and anchovy. Absolutely wonderful! Mom is doing sides, I sure hope it is not roasted red potatoes...I made suggestions, but they didn't elicit much response....

Not going home for Easter, but I think the small group dinner on Saturday night will have ham. If we can find the time to cook it after the lax Day of Rivals. =)
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
We'll be eating Thumper, and having carrot cake for dessert. Not traditional, but maybe a new tradition for myself and the boyfriend. We had Thumper last year too, and it was my first time eating bunny. YUM!
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Hopefully ham. I say 'hopefully' because the MIL hasn't extended an invitation for Easter dinner yet. If she does, we'll eat whatever is offered and I'm hoping for ham. If she doesn't, I'm buying a ham and making it myself. I never developed a taste for lamb.
