50th Blog Post; Our Easter Dinner; My Classes in April; A.C.E. 60th Anniversary Celebration.

Post Date: 1 April 2016

This is the 50^th edition of this blog. I hope you enjoy reading it and find it helpful and informative.  We had 16 people for Easter dinner; it was a fun challenge to get the various dishes ready at the same time. And we did it!  I have no A.C.E. classes this week, but have 2 starting the week of April 11.  And in late May I will be doing a cooking demo at the A.C.E. 60^th anniversary celebration.

Easter Sunday Dinner

 

We went outside of the box this year, with nothing that one would consider part of a traditional Easter meal.  We had Tuscan White Bean Salad and a Fruit Salad, the latter courtesy of my sister-in-law, to start.  The main courses were roasted Panko-Mustard Chicken Breasts and Poached Salmon with a Soy, Sesame Oil, and Lemon sauce.  The salmon was served cold.  We also had Spaghetti with Broccoli, courtesy of my daughter, and baked Red Skin potatoes, one of my wife’s go-to dishes for large gatherings.  We also had Carrots roasted with Lemon Slices and fresh Thyme Sprigs (pictured above).  Dessert was a mélange of cake, cupcakes, and brownies made by another sister-in-law. 

A.C.E. 60^th Anniversary Party

On Sunday afternoon May 22, A.C.E. will be hosting a 60^th anniversary celebration at the Plum Center in Springfield.  There will be presentations and demonstrations by instructors in the various A.C.E. programs.  I will be doing a cooking demo, and will provide more details on what I will be doing in a future post.  In the meantime, mark your calendars for May 22.  I hope to see you there.

Upcoming Classes

I have two classes coming up in April, Cooking Basics 101 on Tuesdays April 12, 19 and 26; and No Bake Desserts on Friday April 15.  The Friday one is a morning class.
