Easter Weekend: Traditional or Non-Traditional

Typically I spend Easter with close family, as all other major holidays, however this year this was not possible. In actuality many of my friends stayed in London hence we decided to spend this holiday together. To ease the preparation for our host, and really make our event about celebrating new life and spring we decided to do a pot luck dinner.

Each couple brought a different dish; to start we enjoyed water chestnuts wrapped in bacon, rice crackers with my favorite Polish cream cheese, smoked salmon and port jelly, and for main course we delighted in Moroccan chicken, raisin couscous, and roasted vegetable. For dessert I brought a Lemon Gelato.

My Lemon Gelato was a huge success. It was light in flavour but very satisfying, a perfect end to a delicious dinner. Best of all with a few easy steps and less than 10 minutes, plus 30 minutes in the ice cream maker, (we can't speed that up) a delicious and celebratory dessert was born.

The dinner was a medley of flavours and we all enjoyed them and had a wonderful time. Traditional or not, that is the essence of spending holiday time.
