Even though I have been going to school in Boston for almost three yeas now, it was the first time I visited Cape Cod on Easter Day. I was completely ecstatic when a friend asked me to join him and his family for a home-cooked meal at his house on the Cape. I was told his mom was quite the chef! Before having dinner, we saw the small local shops and the wonderful beaches. The weather was wonderful indeed.
My friend’s house seemed like it came from a storybook - it was so lovely, quaint, and adorable. While listening to his father’s collection of Edith Piaf, we snacked on some really good smoked gouda, bleu cheese, and olives on the outdoor deck. Life couldn’t be more perfect at that moment.
And, of course dinner was amazing…
Marmalade glazed ham, pineapple bread pudding, roasted potatoes, fresh baked biscuits, and my favorite of the night: alfalfa, pea, radish, feta salad… will definitely use that recipe!
And to conclude the night, a no-bake cheesecake topped with strawberries. A mixture of whip cream and cream cheese in a pre-made pie crust, easy as pie!
I had such a lovely time, great conversations and good food. It was definitely nice to sit down at a family table and enjoy a Sunday dinner. I think I could retire there…
