Sunday Dinner |
|
7:31 |
It's just 8:00 as I start this on a partly cloudy, 35º morning although I will be out kayaking in a few minutes. And it's now 9:22 and I have been out on the lake for 50 minutes and once again had to turn around at Wells Bay because of the ice.

Mallard In The Morning |
Yesterday was a full day, the way we like it. It began with a paddle, the first of the year which I loved. After the paddle, we finished the blog and I had my breakfast. We then got a few things done for our Sunday dinner with Ron and Linda. By 11:00, we were on our way to walk the Chautauqua Institution on a brisk morning. It was a good walk, just about two miles, just what we wanted. We were home by 12:30 and Evie made me a couple of avocado/egg bagels while I watched some college basketball.

By 2:00, everything was ready for our dinner except for my searing and roasting of a couple of racks of lamb. So we were able to relax much of the afternoon, reading and watching basketball, or TV and just filling the afternoon until 6:00 when Linda and Ron arrived. We sat in the living room with our wine or beer until Evie served our first course, a carrot/cashew soup for an appetizer. Once that was done, I got busy searing the lamb, then roasting it in the oven for about 20 minutes until it was done, about 130º.

While I was doing that, Evie heated up the ratatouille, tossed the salad, and made some couscous. Once the lamb was done, it sat for ten minutes and then I sliced it into chops. It was a great Middle Eastern dinner, lamb, couscous, and ratatouille. Only the dessert, a coconut cream pie didn't fit in but was delicious, a perfect ending to our meal. Linda and Ron left at about 9:45 and we spent 15 minutes cleaning up the kitchen before going up to bed, tired from our busy day.
