Cooking
Like the rest of you (I'm sure), I have more recipes bookmarked on my computer than I will live long enough to make.
Each has a folder, with expected titles like 'chicken', 'pies', 'beverages'.
There's also one marked 'For Matt'.
With the range of meat analogues (faux meats) available today, Alex & I can have the same, albeit vegetarian, meals as Matt.
But there are just some things that can't be 'faked', & lamb is one of them.
So it was finally time to make something just for Matt, & the Minted Lamb Burgers wtih Feta & Hummus got the nod.
Well...sort of.
We completely forgot to get feta, so there's that. But hummus spread on the bottom roll, the burger, lettuce, tomatoes & topped with raita.
And yes. He says it was as good as it looks.
Oh, & don't worry! Alex & I weren't left out: we had the same meal, but with falafel 'burgers', instead.

I don't know what, exactly, has gotten into Alex. I'm not sure I care, either...he's been on a 'taste-new-foods' jag the past couple of weeks. It's, well, it's wonderful. That day when you sit down at the dining table, and...
- Five-napkin Sandwich
It's not that we're deliberately trying to eat healthier, or anything. But Matt & I have been drawn, of late, to various vegetarian cookbooks I've had in a pile (in a pile because Matt hasn't yet found the time to build a new set of shelves)....
- He Eats/she Eats
Cooking for both carnivore and vegetarians can get interesting. Sometimes, I just let Matt make a dish for himself, and worry about Alex and me. More often than not, though, I try to work a recipe into shape so we can all have the same thing. But sometimes,...
- Carnivores Only: Herb-crusted Leg Of Lamb
Clearly, not a dish I had anything to do with. I'll prepare many meat-based meals for Matt, but I really don't like dealing with lamb. Images of little ones, frolicking in a meadow...yeah, I don't think so. But, he likes it. So, I find him...

I subscribe to a weekly food and drink newsletter from the congomerate that is the Tribune. I think that came about as I was reading an article from one of their papers, and needed to register. Along with registration came 'pick a newsletter'...so...
