a dinner party for two.

last week,

i decided to cook up something

truly delightful with all of our farmers' market finds.

on the menu:

locally raised organic lamb

sauteed kale with sultana raisins

crisp & creamy mini red potatoes

beet & feta salad

with local "old vines foch" red wine

 and apple crumble for dessert

paul took some pictures while i cooked,

including a few shots of the giant pile of sugar

i clumsily spilled on the floor

(pictures which won't be included here)

after realizing halfway through the proceedings

that i had forgotten all about dessert

and still had six apples to peel

and about four minutes to do it!

it got a little hectic after that, but

dinner turned out deliciously

with a thyme-infused lamb roast

perfectly surrounded by delightful flavors

all in harmony with one another.

with the leftover roast

i made lamb curry

(from scratch!)

it was one of the highlights of my culinary abilities,

and maybe one day soon

i'll have enough energy to do it again.
