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，日子过得太快，星期六的时候才意识到一年一度的复活节就是这个星期天．于是，在我们的地方店里买了一只熏ham，很不错．
 

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.
星期天早上起来很晚，做了简单的早餐，奶油格子饼，家里做的香肠饼，和煎蛋，配上咖啡和自己做的黑莓纯果汁，简单得不能再简单了，不过很好吃．想看格子饼的配方请看这个连接： 格子饼

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 店买的熏火腿, 表面用刀横向划几刀, 然后纵向划几刀, 放入烤盘, 用锡纸包好, 放入预热好的325F烤箱中烤1.5小时, 然后, 丢掉锡纸, 再烤1-1.5小时. 烤好后是这样的, 烤熏火腿味道真的很棒, 以后就买他家的了...


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：烤新鲜芦笋
今年家里的芦笋长得不好, 没收多少, 还是去市场买了些, 大约1.5磅的新鲜芦笋, 去掉老的茎部, 洗干净, 擦干水分, 放入烤盘中, 撒上2大勺洋葱丁, 1大勺橄榄油, 海盐和黑胡椒少许, 混合均匀, 调好味, 放入325F的烤箱中烤20 -30分钟左右, 即可. 再简单不过了.




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
这个最好做了, 自己家种的土豆去皮, 煮熟, 压碎, 放入奶油和全脂牛奶, 海盐和黑胡椒少许,搅拌均匀即可. 大家都会做...


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.
面包：意大利复活节面包 (没有加彩蛋)
每年都做我拿手的奶油面包, 这次想换个样, 做了这个没有加彩蛋的意大利复活节面包, 有人叫 辩子面包, 很象犹太人的CHALLAH, 少点折腾, 就用我的奶油面包的配方做的, 和以往一样很受欢迎...
