Okay…sorry for being MIA for such a long time, life has been crazy…First off, it’s official, we’re buying a house! Second, we had a house guest for over a week that required a lot of extra time from us…Third, training has taken a lot of my time, preparing for a number of races in the coming weeks. However, the biggest time drain is the house purchase…

That gave me the inspiration to make it a Mediterranean/Middle Eastern themed meal…which is closer to what Jesus would have actually eaten (maybe…). It came out delicious!

We paired our lamb chops with a mint yogurt sauce, with sides of Israeli couscous (pearl couscous), and our lovely Greek salad. This paired nicely with Two Hands vineyard’s Angel Hands Shiraz (2007). [Read More]
