Easter Sunday Dinner (Don't look, Cowboy)

Divorced, with the kids, living in Utah. You need a better attorney.

Sadly, it isn't all about the attorney.

Hey Wuap, how did you affix the pineapple slices to the ham? Toothpicks?

I bet that would taste pretty good. When my family eats out at a churascurria, we all fight over the grilled pineapple when the gauchos bring them to the table.

I'm thinking that you could use fresh pineapple if you marinate it in a rum sauce first. From the internet:

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup rum
1 Tbl lemon juice
Marinate and grill.

or
1 cup rum (substitute 1/2 cup dark brown sugar)
1 Tbl cinnamon
2 cups water

I bet these might be suitable, so you don't have to have that aluminum can flavor from the canned pineapple. I might try it, with the pineapple on the side.

I can't remember how he did it, but there was definitely something pokey holding them in place. I'm sure sturdy toothpicks would work fine without changing the flavor. I'm going to go ahead and say that rum and pineapple are good friends, and any excuse to get them together is going to be well received by all. In colonial Louisiana, women were not allowed to drink liquor publicly. So, there was always a jar of pineapple chunks in rum (to preserve them) on the table in the parlor, so that the women too could get drunk genteelly eating chunk pineapple while the men snifted their cognac.

Also, there's something really wrong with celebrating the weekend of the Passover with a ham.

Last year I enjoyed doro wat and enjera, that was a great Easter meal. I just can't get the spices right to do on our own.

A cool married couple in the ward that are friends of mine took pity and invited me to dinner. Holla! :rockon2: I'll report back if it's notable.

maybe if you're still Jewish. It's kinda like- "peace out, Law of Moses! Time for the main event!!"

Friends aren't having us over until 5, so we were able to make our brunch. Hooray.

no, man. The Lamb of God is the main event at Easter. I'm about ready to put mine on the grill.

I tried to talk my wife into lamb but no luck. She ate too much lamb and mutton as a kid.

I hope you're taking pictures. I've never been a fan of lamb, but I think I want to try grilling it sometime in the near future.

Mutton is gross.

Touche. However, I've only had good lamb a couple of times, and once was with mint sauce in New zealand where they do it right. It comes off as gamey most times.

Sorry, I never think to take pictures, but it turned out really well. I used Alton Brown's "Silence of the Leg-O-Lamb" recipe. It has a lot of flavor, but make sure you go easy on the mint and you don't need 5 tablespoons of mustard, 3 will do it.
