Lamb Köfte with Yogurt Sauce w/o Muhammara

This worked pretty well. Though I did make them a bit spicier. The recipie called for 2 pounds of lamb, but the lamb came in 12 oz packages, so I ended up using a pound and a half of lamb but kept the spice level as the recpie called for. So we had an even spicer lamb with the suace. I used flat bread from Proof to make a sort of sandwhich out of these.

BBQ Macaroni Salad with Eden Farms Pork Burgers and Brats

This tasted good, however there was an issue, probably with the bbq sauce. I tend to like my bbq sauce a bit spicier then Shannon and I tend, I suppose, to use it more often, so my bottles are always newer then hers. While this jar wasn't past its date, it was about to turn I think...which affected the flavor. But I certainly would make this again, though I would be more careful with my condiments. I ended up throwing away quite a number of condiments that I wasn't certain as to their open date. When I opened up some new BBQ sauce (after getting some take out BBQ) I made sure to label it with the open date. That way I'll know for sure when it was open. I think this is going to be a new habit.

Crushed Peas with Feta and Scallions

We had this as a main course, and used some of the flat bread from Proof to eat it and made a meal out of it. I would've preferred if I could've used all Reicherts Dariy feta, but it wasn't meant to be. It tasted good, and would probably make a good dip for a party.

Roast Chicken on a bed of Carrots and New Potatoes

Saturday was hot, opressively so. When It came down to it, I had no desire to spend a hot evening in a hot kitchen doing all that work, so I didn't. I roasted the chicken, let it rest and cool and then took all the chicken off the bone I could and made a chicken salad with a little less than half of it.
