Insert Whitty Title Here

Lots o meals to catch up on! Big events happening at the Coffee Jones household, but that'll have to wait for now...

Friday's Meal Lamb Patties with Garlic & Mint over Mediterranean Chopped Salad (RR365, #89)

Backstory Frazzled and Nervous

Preparation Easy, and flexible w/ respect to veggies/herbs. Some of the fresh herbs on my Peapod order didn't get delivered, but tweaked the recipe to what was on hand. This one's a no brainer, just what I needed. I used Penzey's Turkish Blend to make it more authentically middle eastern.

Results Good, but overshadowed by delivering Big News to the littlest Coffee Beans.
Rerun Potential Will re-run for sure.

Monday's Meal Grilled Halibut Tacos with Guacamole Sauce (RR2, p. 154)

Backstory As is normally the case on Mondays, I needed a quick grocery store run, so might as well buy some fish! No halibut today, so I used Haddock. Got 3 avocados, could have done fine with 2. Skipped the rice and beans that were recommended along with this recipe, focusing on fish, tortillas, greens, a red pepper, some cheese, and of course the guacamole "sauce".

Preparation Another no brainer. (Sense a trend here?) Made the guac. a bit more like my usual recipe. Used sour cream instead of yogurt.

Results Too, too delicous. The fish was great, seasoned with salt, pepper & lime. The guac was sublime.

Rerun Potential Look for it soon, it was that good.
