I'm pretty tired of these types of offerings (wait for it...)

Lamb is also associated with Passover, although never served with milk if course.

Finished the shawarma. After roasting the lamb I put it in a bowl in refrigerator overnight with pan juices. Today cut meat off bone, trimmed and cut up. Crisped lamb in cast iron skillet in the lamb fat, then added pan juices and reduced to glaze. Meanwhile filled sheet pan with scallions, brushed with lamb fat, and broiled until beginning to char. Meat and scallions go into pita, already baked, with sauce.

I'm Episcopalian so no problem with the milk. I feel sorry for the practicing Jews who can't enjoy a tall glass of ice cold milk with their lamb and mint jelly on Passover.

Soup sounds good.

I will be making bean soup with Mediterranean flavors next week. After making the shawarma I'll throw the lamb bone into the soup pot.

Also have chicken thighs, going to make mustard and bread crumbs topping and roast with carrots.

Now doing one big shopping trip every 3 weeks and stocking up.

Dyang....Do you feed the neighborhood?

Don't. I find the idea repulsive. And I'm lactose intolerant.

Are Le Cruset Dutch Ovens worth it?

Nothing wrong with Lodge (for the money).

Sunday gravy I made last week; Italian sausage, stew meat, and homemade meatballs, all in a homemade sauce.

I've been pickling eggs lately. I always loved pickled eggs and I got bored enough to figure it out. Its actually very easy and fun. The veggies that go in with it turn out great also, I am totally addicted to pickling various things because the all affect each others flavors. So far with the eggs I have done zucchinis. onions, and various peppers all with great results. For the most part I am following the following recipe but its very forgiving and part of the fun is changing it up for each batch. For my tastes I always go heavy on the garlic and dill, then pretty much anything works as long as you keep the vinegar water ratio to at least 50/50 in favor of the vinegar.

3 cups vinegar
1 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar
4 tsp pickling spices
1 bay leaf
1 tbls of dill or fresh dill
chopped garlic
various chopped veggies like onions, peppers, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, beans whatever. Chop them into long thin slices.

1) Boil and peal 6ish eggs.
2) Boil and simmer for 5 minutes the water, vinegar, salt, sugar, pickling spices.
3) Fill a jar with eggs, veggies, garlic, bayleaf
4) Pour the hot liquid from step 2 into the filled jar from step 3. Fill the jar to about 1/4 inch from the top. Tap jar to release the air bubbles.
5) Put a lid on them and refrigerate for 4 or 5 days. The longer the better.

Dinner! Roast chicken and carrots, rice pilaf, sauteed kale. Had planned to make big batch of rice in instant pot, then realized, duh, instant pot occupied making yogurt and won't be available until 9 AM tomorrow. Also garden salad and glass of wine. Second half of last week's coffee cake came out of freezer for dessert.

I don't know about the bed part. I think you're being a bit presumptuous there.
I'll heartily agree on the three meals a day part. Do you think she'd object if we brought our own bottles of wine (no Gallo allowed, Sly).

All looks delectable, including the fromage and the wine but excepting the Kale which I cannot tolerate and the rice pilaf which my interest in Asian food will also not tolerate. Love the coffee cake desert. You really are a special person with a wonderful food specialty. I implore you to keep up the good work because it adds to the delights of my day. Thank you.

Fromage? Not any in dinner.

Too rainy to garden today so made the biscuits, the bean soup with lamb bone, instant pot rice, finished the yogurt, fed sourdough starter. Tonight's dinner already cooked (smothered chicken, mashed potatoes) except some chard I need to pick. Will eat second half of pineapple upside down cake.

Your upper left corner appears to have some sort of cheese. I threw in the fromage comment just to show how sophisticated I am. In fact a lot of people say how sophisticated I am, perhaps the most sophisticated ever.

My wife loves a Chinese version as well as a Korean version known as a Korean won ton.

Whole lotta fermentation going on. House made pickles, sourdough bread, yogurt, plus gravlax (brined) and peach chutney (preserves).
