So this post, I am dedicating to friends and family and the tables of food we have shared in the past and yet to share in the future.
Easter 2010 bring 10 of us together for Easter Dinner, Steve (Kitty) & Brandon, Jeff & Jerry, Les & Michael, Ed, Stephen and Myself, and of course Walter. I left Walter for last as this was the inspiration of writing this article.
You see, Walter is the former food writer for the Washington Post and he has sat at our dinner table numerous times over the years. I have come to know many of his food likes, and a good Sunday Roast is the only time Ive ever seen him want to lick his plate. So that’s what we are having. We bought a 8lb bone in rib roast, made a rub of garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and olive oil and its now sitting in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. With that, will be my roast potatoes (something my mother taught me), golden and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle. This was one dish that always caught Walters attention and wanting more. So, when it comes to a Sunday roast, Walter is usually at the table.
This year, guests are bringing vegetable dishes to accompany the meal and desert is also being provided.
Our other focus for the day is a home made French Vanilla Ice-cream. You see, to tie this all in, Walter has recently teamed up with “Cooks Vanilla” and gave us some Fresh Vanilla Beans and Vanilla Puree, and so we are reworking our ice cream recipe to include both of these. Ill add a comment later to let you know how it turns out. Here is the recipe in any case: Click to continue »
