Lamb.

Another week, another kilo lost :) Billie (my cat) discovered the joys of catnip this weekend. Cats I've had in the past weren't interested in it, but I witnessed first hand the effects catnip can have on a cat. He was smelling it, rolling in it, eating it, and blissfully lying in the middle of the floor, occasionally playing with his tail for the best part of the weekend. He was most definitely in a happy place. On the plus side, he didn't attack my feet during my sleep once!


After a not so great week at work, I decided lamb would be the best comfort food (seeing as the catnip has no effect on me :p). Slow, slow, slow roasted lamb served with skordalia. This lamb was virtually falling apart after 4 hours in the oven, definite comfort food. I decided to cook a Greek-style dish this weekend, which is what I had originally planned to cook for the girls weekend in the Blue Mountains. Skordalia is a basically a potato puree with lemon juice and garlic, I guess you can call it a dip and it went well with the lamb, which was seasoned with garlic, lemon and oregano.


And for dessert? Crepes with caramel apples. Note to self: hot caramel burns like crazy! A teeny tiny drop touched my finger, and it hurt like crazy... Fingers crossed for a better week to come :)
