COSTCO GOURMET SPECIALTY POTATO MEDLY

COSTCO GOURMET POTATO MEDLEY
DINNER AT HOME

Living in Hawaii, we don't eat potatoes like folks on the mainland.  This is a rice State and rice is on our plates for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  When I saw the Gourmet Potato Medley at Costco packaged so perfectly it caught my eye.  Those spuds on the package looked delicious.  What the heck I thought, we can have potatoes for a few nights.  I looked in the pantry and refrigerator and found an old Leek and Jalapeno that just had to be used.  Grabbed some garlic, shallots and fresh Thyme that a friend grew in her garden and threw everything in a bowl and added olive oil, salt and pepper.  Cooked in oven for about one hour at 400 degrees.  Most of the garlic, leeks and shallots burnt to a crisp but tasted oh so good with the potatoes.  These spuds were really good.  I loved them.  Served up with a nice Rib Eye Steak that cost about $13 at Costco.

GLAZED SPIRAL HAM - EASTER DINNER AT HOME

GLAZED SPIRAL HAM
EASTER DINNER AT HOME 

Blessed to have some family members over to enjoy an Easter dinner at our home.  I had some Alaskan King Crab left over from a few nights before.  Took the crab out of the shell and chopped it into chunky pieces.  Added some sliced celery, mayo and Old Bay Seasoning.  Served with some Club Crackers.  Very light on the mayo so the crab flavor popped.  Simple and delicious.  My lovely bride made a really good Bib Lettuce Salad.  Kicked it up a notch with bacon, fried onions, avocado and chunks of Bleu Cheese.  The Spiral Ham was your basic model sold at most supermarkets.  We made a glaze using brown sugar, cider vinegar and dry mustard.  Glaze was delicious.  Ham was good tasting but a bit dry.  Served the ham with honey glazed carrots and some roasted potatoes with garlic.  This was a really good meal shared with cherished family members that I love.
