Howllo Fellow Hound and Easter dinner lovers!

I had my Mom and Dad down for a huge Easter dinner. I started cooking this morning like many of you.

I decided on Ham stew. I seared large ham chunks in onions and butter and then boiled them in chicken stock and chardonnay. Towards the end of the process I added the mini gold potatoes and green beans. It is served with pineapple chunks on the side.

It is such a yummy stew! I had about 6 ham chunks that size in it. We have had this in our family for over 80 years, but I add my own twists. I also made a Havarti, Cheddar, Jack, Mac and Cheese with Rosemary croutons. To top it off, jalapeno corn bread.

Chaps and Emma laid on the other side of the kitchen gate all day smelling the air. Even though Emma is severely allergic to her food, I had to give her a tiny chunk of ham. She was sooooooo jazzed. Of course, Chaps had his as well.

How do you like my dining room art? My Dad had it commissioned in 1967 by a family friend who gave us art lessons. He was classically trained and from Italy. This picture does not do the piece justice. It is totally amazing.

Grandpa, John Wayne Rudert, is the first one at the table, waiting, not so patiently, for his Easter dinner.

Someone else has taken their prime position………..

Chaps Wayne Rudert – right under Grandpa’s feet. (wonder who drops food)

Emma is laying by me, of course. A good time was had by all due to the Turtle Cheese Cake Grand Finale! Slurp

We hope you had a wonderful Easter, that is if you celebrate it. If not, we hope you had a great Sunday dinner, with or without family – Slurp!

More Later…..Cat, Chaps and Emma
