Just realizing that Sunday is Easter

I have a lot of grocery shopping in my near future, it seems. I'm not sure how this has snuck up on me, but it has. And as such, I have cooking for the Sunday school Seder we're having on Saturday night as well as the family Easter supper (well, lunchish time, probably realistically around 2) to do. I am glad that I remembered today as opposed to, say, Saturday.

For the Seder I'm just bringing the lamb and a chicken (for those who don't care for lamb.) So that shouldn't be a problem.

For the family, I'm pulling out an oldie but goody - one of my favorite menus from Gourmet Magazine - a mostly Russian Orthodox Easter (with some other bits thrown in.) The menu will consist of:

Pierogies
Russian Easter Bread
Paskha Cheese (yum!)
Herb-stuffed leg of lamb
Kielbasa
Beet horseradish sauce (for the meats)
Asparagus with lemon and butter
Sweet and Sour Sauerkraut

I think I'll do simple strawberry shortcakes or a berry trifle for dessert (if anyone has any room left over, which, after looking at the menu, may be a stretch.) The best thing about this menu is after I collect all the stuff, I can put just about all of it together tomorrow and/or Saturday and then just cook or reheat it on Sunday after church. I may even do the lamb ahead and just reheat it or serve it at room temp. We'll see.
