Lamb, Apricot & Fennel Seed meatballs

Even with half the fennel seeds asked for, there was still quite a bit of fennel flavor. Why Half? I clearly overestimated how much was in the little containers (yes I feel vaguely guilty about not going to Allspice). So I used ground mutton (it's what I had in the freezer). Because of the amount of carbohydrates in the dried apricots, this had more carbohydrates then I was expecting. Even so, it was quite good.

Sausage & New Potatoes

Shannon wasn't a big fan of the sausage (green curry and something) and it wasn't my favorite either. The other thing about this was figuring out what 5oz of potatoes actually was. Since that would be within my carb limit, it made sense, but wasn't as much as I thought it might be. And yes, I weighed it on a scale. Clearly my eyes don't know wtf they are seeing.

Celery Chicken

So the PBS website suffered some downtime...of some sort (clearly vaguely graceful, considering it gave me an error message), while I was trying to make dinner, so I had to call an audible. I used the baby white carrots I picked up yesterday, some Green's mix (both from Cleverley farms) and then some Basil Feta from Reichert's Dairy Air. And some seared chicken thighs. Made for a really good salad. The white carrots were a bit more earthy then I was expecting, but made for a nice accent to the rest of the salad.

Grilled Cheese with Spicy rotisserie chicken

Ok I forgot to add the spicy to the rotisserie, but even so it was a pretty good combination. I made a lightly dressed chicken salad (chicken + mayo + dijon mustard)...with a cheese that I should've written down (French, unpasteurized, combination of sheep and cow milk, I think, why can I remember all that and not the name?). On some of Wild Yeast Bakery's sourdough. Magnificent.

So so on top of the celery chicken audible, I had these sour cherries I needed to use, so, Sauce! Cherries, a bit of port and a pinch of sugar. Over a pork loin. Good stuff.

Also, first picture using new(ish) camera, for food.
