Went outside yesterday with the intent of cleaning up the front flower garden and first went around back to look at the back garden area. Decided to do a little weeding out there first and then thought that I'd just quickly straighten out the one edge of the garden. So I go the folding shovel with the pick and went at it.
OUCH!!!!!!!!!
Never jump into that kind of physical activity when you haven't worked up to it LOL I am in serious pain this morning from the bending over and digging. Never did get the weeding in either garden done LOL Will go out and do a bit of that today.
Did the lamb with taziki sauce last night. Picked up a container of Brown Cow plain yougurt. If you haven't tried it I really, really recommend it. It is more expensive then the regular yogurts, but it is made from organic whole milk and is totally delish. I will never use the low-fat stuff ever again for recipes like this. Luckily the stores do carry another whole milk yogurt in larger containers so I can use it for frozen yogurts and other recipes. I would much rather pay the few extra pennies for quality ingredients.
I sliced the lamb in thin slices and then cut those into smaller pieces. I marinated them in olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt, pepper and dill. The taziki I made from the yogurt, half a cucumber, 2 cloves of garlic. I ran the garlic and cucumber thru my mini food processor and then added the 8 oz container of yogurt and blended them all together. I made some rice and then stirfired the lamb, leaving a little pink in the middle. I served it up on top of the rice with the taziki on top of it all.
Today we are going to pop up to Moscow Building supply to pick up a quart of paint (most likely white or off white) and paint the cabinet over the bar. I want to get in and paint over the wallpaper that now shows since we took down the cabinet doors. I figure we'll be doing the kitchen in stages. I just have to figure out a color scheme. I'm going for a 50s look, so it will take some planning to bring it all together as I don't want to re-create a 1950s kitchen, but I want it to be more a 50's insired look.
MMMMMMMMMM, almost time to open up the windows to let some fresh air in.
