Easter Weekend Dinners

I worked Easter weekend so dinners were simple.  We had roast chicken Saturday night. 
As I have mentioned before, this is my favourite meal, and it can be ready in not much longer than an hour.   Moe turned on the oven so that by the time I walked in the door from work the oven  was preheated to 500°F  and the chicken went immediately into the oven.
Simple sides of mashed potatoes, rutabaga and peas and gravy of course.
Sunday, I pulled my last Tourtiere  (made at Christmas) out of the freezer.

Tourtiere is one of the few things I bake and freeze.   But it freezes well and even the pastry was just as good as when it was first baked.   The defrosted meat pie went into a 350°F for about 50 minutes.  Served with leftover chicken gravy and handcut french fries (double fried).
