The Easter Festivities started when my sister Kathleen and I went to Ruby Tuesday in Seven Hills for dinner on Saturday. While I enjoyed Chicken Bella, she enjoyed steak. My sides with my meal were Rice Pilaf and Spaghetti Squash. Her sides were the Salad Bar and an item that I can't remember (It wasn't a Baked Potato!). Our meals were delicious!
After dinner, we went to a nearby Aldi to pick up cans of GT Cola for my brother Bob's dinners at work. Two-liter bottles of GT Cola for home consumption were also purchased. Kathleen bought some pizzas. After Aldi, we could have gone across the street to Giant Eagle, but we went to the Giant Eagle on Snow Road which is closer to my home. I picked up gift cards for my great-niece Emily's Fifth Birthday and my sister and brother-in-law Maggie and Mike's Anniversary. Kathleen picked up some Coffee Creamers.
After our shopping was done, we went to Honey Hut to pick up some ice cream. I had German Chocolate Ice Cream. Kathleen split her order between German Chocolate and another flavor. I also bought some ice cream (A split of Chocolate-Peanut Butter and Coconut Ice Creams) for Bob. Kathleen bought a mug as a "Thank You" Present for someone. We brought our ice creams home. Kathleen ate hers after we came home, but I ate mine when Bob came home from work. I relaxed the rest of the evening while Kathleen made Baked Beans and sausage for Easter Dinner.
Sunday Morning's first highlight was 10:00 Mass at St. Leo Church with Kathleen and Bob. We came home and relaxed. Bob and I then ate simple lunches. After lunch, we cooked Idahoan Loaded Scalloped Potatoes for Easter Dinner. While we were cooking, our area lost electricity, but since our stove is a gas stove, our food was unaffected.
We then went to Maggie and Mike's house to enjoy Easter Dinner. There was relief when we crossed into Parma and discovered that there was electricity. After arriving, we visited with the other guests. They were my brother Joe, my niece Mandy, her husband Paul, and Mike's parents, Richard and Katherine.
Dinner was ham, the aforementioned potatoes and baked beans and sausage, corn, rice pilaf, sweet potato fries, a vegetable medley, Heavenly Hash, rolls, lemon-poppy seed rolls. The appetizers were a vegetable tray consisting of broccoli, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, and dip and a cracker and candy tray. The food was delicious.
After we allowed our food to settle, dessert was served. It consisted of Cheesecake, two Apple Pies (One from Bakers Square), an ice cream cake (Chocolate-Vanilla), chocolate chip cookies, and Jell-O. They were appetizing. After coming home, we relaxed for the rest of the evening. Thankfully, electricity returned to our house while we were away.
Easter 2014 will be remembered for years to come.
