Time once again to show the holiday feast for Thevictorians. We had our Easter Dinner on Good Friday, to accommodate Hick's greedy busy sales schedule at his SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5). There's nothing new. Same old foods. But who doesn't like to look at food, right?
That is The Pony's plate. The Pony loves the roasted vegetables, which we refer to as "vinchtables" from childhood pronunciations. Also stuffing (from a box). There's some ham waiting to be put on mini sandwiches made with Sister Schubert's Rolls, along with some pepperjack and swiss. Red onions. Deviled eggs, of course. And some chips. The white stuff on the plate is French Onion Dip, I think. And salad, which I don't remember making separately this time, so The Pony must have had to do it (!).
Hick's plate is more ham-heavy. He's quite the carnivore. Hick also took a healthy (?) serving of potato salad. Which I was disappointed not to see on The Pony's plate, but The Pony likes it at room temperature, so was likely waiting to have it that way later with leftovers at home.
How dare Hick only take that much of the 7 layer salad!!! It seems like a mere token.
THIS is how you eat 7 layer salad! In a bowl piled to the top! So what if the rest of my plate "suffers" from having less? That salad is the main event.
Once again, I forgot about the dessert. It was only a variety of store-bought cheesecake slices. Hick and The Pony like them. I just had a couple of PEEPS.
The leftovers are all gone now, except a few slices of ham that we're eating in sandwiches. The bone is in FRIG II's freezer for a pot of beans. I'm missing my 7 layer salad already. I had been putting it on a wrap with ham for my suppers. Hick did not mind. He got the deviled eggs and potato salad and vinchtables.
Delicious as usual. I was away for Easter, but my mom gave me her ham slices! I may defrost and eat them over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong inheriting ham slices!
DeleteI love seven layer salad but I never think about making it! Now that you've made me hungry for it I will have to go to the store for ingredients!
ReplyDeleteI still have ingredients left over, but I don't want to spend the time making another one! Besides, I think Hick will be eating the rest of the bacon tonight.
DeleteI'll just make an informal salad with romaine, egg, cheese, and green onions, because I don't want to thaw out the peas. It will be a deconstructed 4 layer salad, with some blue cheese dressing drizzled on. I might add some cherry tomatoes as well.
Like you, it is the 7 layer salad that would have me eating too much! I never make it just for the two of us and me being the only one who loves it. I will make a note to myself to make one at Thanksgiving for whatever house I end up at. Could be my daughter, could be my niece. In any event, I should have some help eating it.
ReplyDeleteI have to endure such hardship, making sure it doesn't go to waste!
DeleteOf course Hick only took a token salad serve, he needs stomach room for all that ham! and the rest. But a little salad is better than none and leaves more for you.
ReplyDeleteYes, I could pretend for two days (and two token servings) that I didn't make it just for me.
