WIfey started up the second part of her summer semester, so had a beautiful day, a football kid with a hurting knee (ie. no practice runs) and just got paid yesterday. Hummm, let's see what we can find at the Giant. Bought another boneless turkey breast, but not enough time to cook it. Bought a thick sliced ham steak, plenty of time to cook it, just not in the mood (tomorrow with au gratin potatoes). Saw one pound packages of ground lamb for $4.39 lb, sounds like a winner! Got some plain greek yogurt, a young cucumber and was off to the races to see if I could get a tzatziki sauce made and some lamb seasoned where the meat and sauce didn't taste like it was mixed up five minutes ago. Turned out really well. Of the four skewers I made, my son ate three of them, so I'm guessing he liked it! I use a recipe from a magazine that has some cinnamon, nutmeg and clove in it (I'm thinking more traditional Lebanese fare). You gotta watch the amount as it can easily be overdone. And as always I threw in a heaping four cloves of garlic for the one lb of meat, and two gloves for the cucumber yogurt sauce. No vampires tonight (or wife for that matter). Still all I can say is Yum!
Oh, and served with a Labatt's Blue Pounder, eh?
