It's just me. Hopefully I'll be able to find a ham steak somewhere. I used to be able to get small packs of Honeybaked Ham slices, but they don't appear to sell the small packs anymore. I've got asparagus, spaghetti squash and gluten free rolls coming in my CSA delivery on Thursday. So I should be able to put together something nice.

They sell them by the pound. You can always freeze what you don't eat. That's what I've been getting for years..
We usually go to my in-laws, since we won't be doing that I might make either a small ham with mash potatoes and a vegetable or a lasagna with homemade garlic bread and a nice salad. I'll also make a dessert. Only four of us so we'll then have leftovers for the next nights dinner.
We always had a large homegrown smoked ham from a Ma and Pa butcher, potatoes au gratin, asparagus with Hollandaise sauce, bakery croissants and a lemon Pavlova. But this year the adult children have continued to work (with care) but neither of them want to expose us.
So daughter thought maybe if the weather is decent we could meet in a park for a distancing picnic. LOL She's requesting loaded Italian subs. I can toss a pasta salad and buy some kettle chips. Maybe make some kind of dessert you eat out of a plastic cup?
One thing I do know is I want those funny deviled egg chicks. I've been looking at them for a couple of years now and wishing I had grandkids so I'd have an excuse to make them. Daughter makes a mean deviled egg and I'm finally going to ask her to put some together. It's a good time for some lightheartedness.
I wasn't even going to decorate this year and then I read that people were putting teddy bears in their windows for people outdoors to count as they walked. And I thought of all my Easter bunnies. So down from the attic they came. The large ones went in the bay window with baskets of eggs and an Easter egg tree and the glass and miniatures went in my front porch window shelves.
Glad I did this. Hope it gives someone a lift. It certainly has brightened things up here for me. Might get in the Easter spirit yet. I don't forget the message of hope, new life and renewal.

I had to re-read this. At first I read it as you were going to toss some salad at the kids during your picnic. It was a great mental image of picnicking while social distancing.

I'm sure it does. Even as a 30-something year old woman, I love looking for the bears, rainbows, and hearts during our walks through the different nearby neighborhoods. I also get a kick out of sidewalk chalk drawings and extra long games of hopscotch! Got to find the joy in the little things these days!
It will just be the two of us this year. I bought some lamb to roast and I have been keeping some Christmas pudding from Christmas. Maybe we will have a prawn cocktail and a bottle of rose.
One of our kids and their kids go camping at Easter so it would have been just the other daughter and her kids. She is being strict about the social distancing as she does not want to put us at risk. She is working for the state government in implementing their virus policies so it is a matter of conscience as well.
Made me laugh, Sundayrive. Throwing pasta salad at young people could go viral!
Girlfriend called the other day. Said she was taking a walk a few blocks to downtown pop machine. Said it would be the highlight of her day.
Makes her sound simple-minded but no. A few weeks ago she was lobbying in State Congress. This week she's getting a thrill from popcorn and soda. Humbling times.
