| Lamb Tajine with mint, zucchini, tomatoes and peppers |
I haven't heard of tajines before, so to explain, a tajine is a Moroccan stew traditionally cooked in an earthenware pot. I don't have an earthenware pot, so this may not be a true tajine, but maybe one day it'll grow up and get promoted. What struck me first about this recipe was how many spices are involved! Being an aficionado of curries and all those mouth-watering spices that come in middle eastern and Indian food, I was excited to be measuring out the coriander and cumin for this dish. Except I didn't measure them out, I just dumped a bunch into the pot. Yummm... I'm a greedy spice-monger.

| Tarte Tatin |
And what better way to celebrate Memorial Day, but with apple pie! But...not really apple pie because it's French and it's a tart. I have to admit, S. and I had to ditch the first batch of caramelized apples because they burned. No one's perfect.. however, the finished product was delicious. S. sweated bullets watching me pour sugar into the pan for the caramel, but he all but forgot when he gobbled it down with ice cream:
