Lamb Dinner

Lamb loin kebab with a simple dry rub of paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper.

The kebab skewer was a rosemary spear. I also had a red bell pepper I needed to use.

Side of tzatziki sauce: greek yoghurt, dill, lemon juice cucumber, salt, pepper

Summer lentil salad (cold): green french lentils, cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, onion (should be red… had vidalia on hand), with a bit of lemon juice , champagne vinegar, olive oil.

I should have made it all today, then had it tomorrow. I still have another loin in the fridge, with the rub. It's gonna be *fantastic*.

We didn't collude, I assure you.

That said, I did it because I was sick of having chicken, and last night, Bill and I went out for some fish at http://www.mediterraneoofgreenwich.com/ which always has lovely food. He had the warm goat cheese appetiser, and I had the gazpacho. For our main courses, I had the rare yellow-fin tuna, and he had the striped bass.

For dessert, we merely walked to Starbucks (the Starbucks where we first met), and I had an iced venti unsweetened green tea, and he had a tall drip coffee. Then we walked back to the car, and drove home.

The concept of rubbing meat... does not make me think of food.

This is beautiful, which makes me realize how much I miss your food posts...

Oh yeah!

There aren't many, but I have a few food posts. Some even wound up being published on a food blog, and will be in a book due out sometime in the autumn.
