Easter Supper Menu Planning

As much as I'd like to make this event a "Best of" some of my specialty dishes, I've got to think practically. Unlike the smaller venues I've hosted, a bigger event requires even more strategy and provides for less forgiveness. But one nice thing I've learned is a key step is to take advantage of the situation and more hands mean more labor, so I'll figure out ways to delegate.

Regardless, I've got to put a few familiar favorites on the menu, with a twist on the theme to express my saintly -- ok, more likely sinful -- self:

Bubble Bubble Toil in Troublesome Devilish Ham

ham braised in a caramelly fizz

Goodie Goodie Green Beans

my not-so traditional take on the traditional casserole

Copycat Coconut Sumtangurrudder

perhaps my rendition of a beloved coconut cream pie or my friend's mother's southern-style coconut cake

And I'm so excited, friends are already responding and people are actually coming! One friend is bringing "A Virginal Veggie Plate."
