Ferdinand came home with a note on Friday saying “please send 100 of something to celebrate being 100 days smarter.” The note suggests things like erasers and ribbons. I have 67 paper clips, 2 erasers, no ribbon and Ferd vetoed 100 chic peas. I’m sending in 100 teaspoons of Polaner Real Mint Jelly. I’ll never use it.
I like my lamb straight up–tiny chops grilled over white hot coals for about 3 minutes a side with a little sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Plant some mint and then rip it over peas that have been sauted with shallot and garlic in butter. Teeny weeny roasted potatoes and a raspberry clafoutis for dessert.
