Easter Dinner, Hand Cooked

While some highly fortunate people were able to head over to Boston for its insane restaurant week and some down to Maine for fantastic lobsters and seafood, what was someone left in dreary(fine, not so dreary) old Singapore to do but to whip out, or rather attempt to whip out, a finger-licking-licious Easter dinner? Here is what was on the menu last night.

1) Scallion and Asparagus Salad

2)Soft Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Ricotta and Chives

3)Risotto with Spicy Sausage and Wild Mushrooms

4)Roasted Lamb Shoulder(agnello De Latte Arrosto)



I don't think many(or any) pictures were taken, but here's a sample picture of what the food looked like, or was supposed to look like from epicurious.com.

In all honesty, the lamb DID look somewhat like this! The pseudo-ricotta eggs on the other hand, were an utter embarrassment. Why the use of the word pseudo earlier? Well, that was because double brie was used in place of ricotta as The Marketplace did not carry the creamy Italian cheese. The cuts of meat for the lamb were a little too thin, but other than that, the gravy and broth that underlay the meat was most definitely decent.

Mother of course, was a great help after she came back from church in the evening. And many thanks had to go to Father as well, for calling it a "simple meal" as he said grace. SIMPLE MEAL!? The meal for which i had spent the past 3 days worrying over was a SIMPLE MEAL?!?! Oh well.. That's father for you, but he is much loved nonetheless. Oh, and I am most thankful for the generous souls who brought with them the bottles of merlot and cabernet sauvignon. It was most yummy. Thank you.
