We're hosting DH's father and step mother for Easter dinner and I'm looking for menu ideas. What are you serving?
They are popular in the south. Did you read " The Help?" Caramel cakes are spoken of often in the novel. Here is a quick link to an image of a caramel cake, as in "The Help":http://www.alpacafarmgirl.com/2010/01/caramel-cake-inspired-by-the-help/Hudson_Hawk|1303147225|2899170 said:what is this caramel cake of which you speak???

Also, tzatziki, which is a spread made of yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper, at least two salads (one greek salad made with tomatoes, cucumber, sliced onions, sliced green peppers, olives, feta cheese, oreganon, balsamic vinegar and olive oil and one made of roman lettuce and fresh onions), cheese pies with home made puff pastry and filled with feta, yellow graviera cheese and kasseri cheese and of course the boiled eggs which we paint red and they are the most important element of the Easter table!!! After lunch, we have coffee with the traditional Easter cookies slurp-slurp!!!
