Let’s talk a little about weekday lunches. (Because really, unless I have a lunch date out, lunch is usually my most boring meal of the day.)…
A Lamb Feast
In many cultures, meat in general and lamb in particular is what you serve to guests…especially guests you really like! (Since it’s usually the most expensive part of the meal, serving meat demonstrates your hospitality.) I ate more lamb in the Middle East in just a couple months than I ate in the rest of my life combined. (Middle Easterners are a generous, hospitable group of people…lamb was on the menu often!

During law school this was my go-to meal…I ate it once or twice a week for three years, which is probably why I rarely make it anymore, and why my husband tells me all the time that we should eat fish more often. This meal is quick (about 15 minutes from start to finish), healthy, delicious, and so pretty to look at (which is of course important, since we eat with our eyes before we eat with our palates or our stomachs). Scroll down the ingredient list and you’ll find an unusual pairing…fish and cheese. (I know, usually this is a horrifying combination!) This […]...
