The Pork Boys Do the Merry Month of May

To celebrate the return of spring and a profusion of blooms in the yard, we had several festive dinners last month.  We post these pictures to remind ourselves, but you can have a peek, too.

M,P. created a beautiful miniature maypole for May Day, which stayed on the table several weeks and has since been carefully packed away for future re-use.

English onion soup, from ye olde Englisshe receipt.

Roasted goat legs, according to some olde Englisshe custom.

Actually, it's just chicken legs, as M.P. couldn't find any 

fresh goats on sale.

Pea Salad, an olde Texas delight.  Try it, you'll like it.

Parsleyed carrots and potatoes, very yummy.

It looks big, but actually it's a little pan of little yeast rolls,

hot out of the oven and smelling so good.

All of the above, for starters.
