Good Friday my workplace was closed, but I worked much harder at home than I would have at the office. I cooked -- the Easter menu this year was make-ahead for everything except for the ham -- did laundry, and cleaned. Didn't go to bed till after 10 p.m. and I had started around 10 a.m.
I set nibbles out on the credenza that used to be my coffee bar but now serves as a kitchen work table in a sort of charcuterie board set up; I used a cutting board, but would now like to get a proper charcuterie board. There was cold smoked kielbasa with horseradish beet relish, deviled eggs, mixed nuts, and ridged chips with French onion dip.
Dinner (I didn't take photos, but above is my table all set) was ham that I steamed in a pot, Viennese potato salad which is normally served warm but since I made it on Friday, it was served cold, pickled asparagus I prepped on Wednesday, and ready-made frozen rolls that take 8 minutes in the oven. Dessert was homemade strawberry sour cream pie, though I was too full from stuffing my face all day to eat it. So the pie waits patiently in the fridge till later.
Today, other than cleaning out my fridge a bit, doing some dishes, and taking out the trash for pick-up tomorrow, I'm not doing anything. Had leftover deviled eggs and kielbasa for breakfast, and leftover ham and potato salad for an early dinner, so no cooking. Just hanging out on the sofa with my dog, blogging and listening to a wonderful Apple Music playlist called Spring Jazz Vibes. Not going to think about everything that needs doing. I'm feeling so thankful for God's love and gift of salvation and all of the blessings He has bestowed upon me that I too often take for granted.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday and Bright Week ahead.
