Hi, johnie.   Sounds like you may be spending Easter at my house.  I've
already informed one and all they can do whatever they like, but I'm not
cooking.

Although I'm thinking Absolut martini's

LOL  With Easter being a working day in our house, I'm hoping some restaurant
nearby is serving Easter dinner!  Only ones I've seen so far are kinda a long
drive away.  I may pick up a leg of lamb on sale as Mike loves lamb, but I
don't relish cooking it Sunday.  We need dinner out.

sorbet for dessert?

yes, sorbet is a given. i always have some on hand for him.
i like the roasted veggies, and the asparagus ideas. thanks.

> sorbet for dessert?

kate, this past year we finally got a new juicer and use it every day.
i love it. one of the new things i   have become addicted to is fresh
sorbet. I like mangos and berries but usually end up with a combo of
fruits. instead of throwing the pulp away i add a bit of juice to get a
thinner consistency and just freeze it. amazing how good it can get.
the trick for me was cleaning the fruit more than usual before juicing
it. deseeding and coring and peeling etc... add a little vanila ice
cream for sorbet and cream. I still break down from time to time and
get a little haggen-daz raspberry sorbet but the homemade stuff is top
notch and the price is right. >g<

Sounds like my house year round.

Fleischmann's unsalted Margarine (green lettering on box) has no dairy in
it, can be used in place of butter.

Learn to look for the kosher markings on items. If it says "pareve," there
will be no milk. Will still need to check ingredients for eggs and wheat.

Can still do whipped potatoes - use canned/boxed chicken or vegetable broth
instead of milk.

Any steamed veggie, let people add their own topping (cheese or white sauce
on the side?)

Any sautéed veggie, use (olive) oil instead of butter.

It's Passover time. If your store has a kosher for Passover section, get a
package of potato starch and use wherever you would use flour or cornstarch
for thickening.

My neighbor growing up always served turnip (rutabaga) and sauerkraut with
her ham - and she was Irish.

Haagen Daz used to have dairy free sorbets for dessert (serve w/fruit).
Fancy Jell-O stuff works for dessert, whipped cream on the side.

Substituting for eggs was the worst, and I never got the hang of it. So glad
Ian outgrew that allergy.

There was just someone in the local (New England) news featured for her egg
free baking, which is now available by on-line mail order. Some of her stuff
is even wheat free. Don't have time to do the Google search for you,
though - need to work on Passover stuff. Her story is she has a son with
significant allergies and wanted stuff he could bring to playdates, etc. Her
stuff was so popular, she turned into a business.

Happy cooking!

(on personal note - actually sat down and wrote a couple of pages last week.
First time in 20 years. Still self indulgent, trite, with too many cliché's.
But it was honest 'concrete' writing. Of course, I did it when I knew I
couldn't get back to it in weeks. LOL)

oh, i bet it felt good to write, though. first time in 20 years! wow!
thanks for the idea of looking for kosher foods. i also love the turnip
and sauerkraut. . . but i fear i'll be the only one in the family who
does.

Would a mushroom, onion and sage tart taste good with ham.

I'm making one for passover using potato instead of matzah/bread and could
send you the recipe (or what serves as one).

For Double batch

Caramelize onions (I used 2 large plus an half one sitting in the veggie
drawer).

Sautee sliced mushrooms of various kinds in olive oil, season w/salt and
pepper as they sauté. (I'm using about a cup of shitakes, half cup of
oyster, one cup white and 2 cup crimini AKA baby bellas, cause that's what I
found running around to local market and trader joe's)

Slice and sauté large portabellas (also season them).

food process potatoes so it yields about 1 cup of puree.

In bowl, beat two eggs until uniform in color. Add 1 tsp salt,  1/4 tsp
pepper, and half teaspoon each of sage, marjoram and any other savory herb
you like (dill, savory, chive, tarragon etc. If using more than 3 spices
total, reduce amts of each spice) and teasp baking powder. add potato and
mix well. Then fold in mushrooms and onions, mix thoroughly. Should have
consistency of oatmeal. If too runny add potato starch by tablespoon until
it does (It wheat is OK, use flour or matzah meal). Drier than oatmeal is
OK, just check for faster cooking time.

Spray or lightly grease baking dish (I'm using 2 foil 6X8 pans just cause I
have them and don't want to wash Corelle). Layer bottom of pan with slices
of sautéed portabellas. Pour mixture on top. Bake at 425 approx 1 hour until
toothpick comes out clean, or with just mushroom wetness on it, not batter.
Top should brown. If starts to get too brown, turn oven down a bit, but may
need to cook a little longer.
