2010 Easter Sunday 2010年複活節的一天:熏火腿,烤蘆筍,麥片夾心點心等(組圖)

It is very busy at work lately for both of us. Time is flying.By the time I found out the Easter was coming, it was already Saturday. Oh well, hurry up and went to our local store and bought a smoked ham. It turned out was delicious. 
最近工作太忙，日子過得太快，星期六的時候才意識到一年一度的複活節就是這個星期天．於是，在我們的地方店裏買了一隻熏ham，很不錯．
 

Easter Sunday came. Got up late as usual. I made simple breakfast: homemade waffles, homemade country style sausage and fried eggs. Also, coffee and homemade blackberry juice I made last summer. Can't be more simple. See my blog for the recipe of homemade waffles.
星期天早上起來很晚，做了簡單的早餐，奶油格子餅，家裏做的香腸餅，和煎蛋，配上咖啡和自己做的黑莓純果汁，簡單得不能再簡單了，不過很好吃．想看格子餅的配方請看這個連接： 格子餅

Take a look at it again. It is very simple, isn't it?

Main course: Baked smoked ham
Put a smoked ham, about 9 to 10 lb into a baking pan. Use a sharp knife cut few times in one direction and cut few times in the opposite direction. Cover tightly with a foil and bake it in 325F preheated oven for 1.5 hours. Then remove the foil and continue to bake another 1 hour or 1.5 hours. See below picture for the final product. It is the best ham we have never had. From now on, we will go that store for ham....

主餐：烤熏火腿
在LOCAL 店買的熏火腿, 表麵用刀橫向劃幾刀, 然後縱向劃幾刀, 放入烤盤, 用錫紙包好, 放入預熱好的325F烤箱中烤1.5小時, 然後, 丟掉錫紙, 再烤1-1.5小時. 烤好後是這樣的, 烤熏火腿味道真的很棒, 以後就買他家的了...


Side dish 1: Oven baked asparagus
Our asparagus didn't do too well this year. We end up with buying some from our local store.
~1.5 lb fresh asparagus, remove the old parts, washed and dried. Place them in a baking dish with 2 Tbsp of chopped onions, 1 Tbsp olive oil, plus sea salt and fresh grounded pepper. Mix well and baked in a 325F preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes. They are delicious. How simple is that?

配餐１：烤新鮮蘆筍
今年家裏的蘆筍長得不好, 沒收多少, 還是去市場買了些, 大約1.5磅的新鮮蘆筍, 去掉老的莖部, 洗幹淨, 擦幹水分, 放入烤盤中, 撒上2大勺洋蔥丁, 1大勺橄欖油, 海鹽和黑胡椒少許, 混合均勻, 調好味, 放入325F的烤箱中烤20 -30分鍾左右, 即可. 再簡單不過了.




Side dish 2: Mashed potatoes
Everyone knows how to make this dish. I used our home grown potatoes. They are great!
配餐２：土豆泥
這個最好做了, 自己家種的土豆去皮, 煮熟, 壓碎, 放入奶油和全脂牛奶, 海鹽和黑胡椒少許,攪拌均勻即可. 大家都會做...


Bread: Italian Easter bread (without color eggs)
Well, I always make my signature butter dinner rolls. I wanted change a little. So, I made this Italian Easter bread without colored eggs. It is basically egg bread, slightly sweet and buttery. See my blog for recipes. It looks like Jewish bread, "Challah". Whatever you call it, it is great bread. Everyone likes it as usuall.
麵包：意大利複活節麵包 (沒有加彩蛋)
每年都做我拿手的奶油麵包, 這次想換個樣, 做了這個沒有加彩蛋的意大利複活節麵包, 有人叫 辯子麵包, 很象猶太人的CHALLAH, 少點折騰, 就用我的奶油麵包的配方做的, 和以往一樣很受歡迎...
