Bright Friday, Bright Saturday

Bright Friday,

we had dear friends over; I made the lamb dish;

I doubled the lamb (2 lbs), did 1.5x rice and 1.5 lentils,

1 cup more water with beef bullion, 2 tsp cumin, 

doubled onion and garlic. 

I did not need to remove any extra fat this time, but

I did it in the Dutch oven... anyway, it was not at all 

greasy and was so delicious!!!

One of the few Fridays of the year that we eat meat,

so it was an extra special meal! 

And so nice to spend time with these 2 friends,

esp. as they are leaving soon for the West Coast.

***

We had left overs today +

tonight, realizing that we needed something different than

lamb+lentils tonight, I picked up some

Chicken Soup (homemade) from the local grocers,

added 1 cup+ broth, toasted two pita breads,

and made 2 small pots of tea!

It was a rainy cold April day today and this meal

was just right.  

I was so happy about that!

***

Husband is having a hard time with all the allergies,

it's impacting his breathing but we are monitoring this 

closely so that it will not get out of hand.

***

I am so glad that we get to pray and sing 

Christ is Risen!!! for the next while, until

Ascension Day!

Christ is Risen!!!

Truly, He is Risen!!!
