Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Last night's Surprise Dinner was lamb cooked in a spice mix that included coriander, turmeric, cumin, paprika, and garlic; a HUGE batch of macaroni cheese, made from scratch with white cheddar and flavored with hints of nutmeg and cayenne pepper; and green beans.

Have I mentioned that I LOVE THIS MAN.

First, let's point out that the only reason he chose macaroni and cheese as the starch of the meal? Is because I have...ridiculous love of macaroni and cheese. It's one of those things I could eat every meal of every day for the rest of my life, and be completely happy. I'd also be yellow and sickly, but I WOULDN'T CARE.*

Second, and the emphasis on this is more easily understood know that you have been told about my love affair of mac'n'cheese, the lamb was my favorite part of the meal. It was flavorful, and it was so. tender. The only complaint we both had is that the chops were much too small--I ended up going at both our bones with hands and teeth, getting every last morsel. It was heavenly.

After I ate way too much of the macaroni and cheese and picked the bones as clean as I possibly could, I basically slipped into a food coma for the rest of the night. It was the best meal I've had in quite a while.

Pictures to come. :D

Today is a combined day off (WIN!), and we're being fairly lazy. About to go out to run minor errands, then back home for laundry and a raid. :)

*This is also true of mashed potatoes (which wages an eternal battle with macaroni and cheese as my Favorite Food Ever), bacon, rice, and basically any pasta you can name.
