We spent most of the day playing video games and lounging about.
Travis found a new and unusual way of sitting in the recliner. He swears it is the most comfortable position ever. You know what they say, don't knock it 'til you've tried it! Putting your head on the foot rest and watching the TV upside down just seems awkward.
He knew it was weird - look at him try to pretend he wasn't sitting all funny after he realizes I got the camera out. Mwahhahaa. [Though not that embarrassed, I did get his permission before posting these pictures online.]
I did make a small effort to create an Easter meal for the two of us. I bought a tiny smoked ham for the occasion, and decided I'd make scalloped potatoes and a tossed salad. Nothing overly fancy - but somewhat Easter-ish. On closer inspection I actually discovered the little ham that I had purchased had been pre-cut. It was a bit of a set back (I've never seen a freezer ham precut that wasn't in the deli before) but it cooked up like a normal ham, and we didn't have to worry about carving! I found my recipe for scalloped potatoes online, but it was more of a suggestion than the rule. I managed to delete the butter from the recipe, and substitute skim milk for the 'heavy cream' recommended. To make up for the lack of fat I tried adding onion. Obviously not a replacement for fat, but I thought perhaps a replacement for a bit of lost flavour. Honestly, the recipe turned out just fine without the butter or heavy cream - but I probably shouldn't have added the onion. It ended up tasting rather sweet in with the potatoes. Not my best creation to date, but we both ate our serving. Couldn't have been all bad!
Sufficiently suffonsified we have spent the evening watching a movie and fooling around on our computers. (Blog writing anyone?) It has been a wonderfully relaxing day - I hope your Easter is the same!
