So, every year on Valentine's day, we struggle to figure out where to go and what to do. This year, we decided to stay home and have a romantic meal in.

I can't really answer that. I am not opposed to trying anything, I just can't say if I have ever eaten it before, let alone cooked it foshizzle.bmp

LOL It's super easy to cook, but not everyone likes the taste...here's the recipe anyway :)

 

Rack of Lamb

1 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-pound rack of lamb, trimmed

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp coriander seeds

1/2 tsp green peppercorns

2 large garlic cloves, chopped

1 tbsp grated orange peel

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

 

Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle lamb with salt and pepper. Enclose cumin, coriander, and peppercorns in small resealable plastic bag. Using mallet, coarsely crush seeds and peppercorns. Add garlic, orange peel, and oil to bag and mash to coarse paste. Smear paste over meat portion of lamb.

 

Place lamb, paste side up, in small baking pan. Roast lamb 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 400°F. Continue to roast until thermometer inserted into lamb registers 135°F for medium-rare, about 15 minutes longer. Cut lamb between bones into chops and serve.

      Atlantis Bahamas wedding

      By Pamelama · Posted

      Hi all! I am trying to plan my wedding, and would love some pictures so I can get some ideas as to how things will look. We have chosen The Cove at the Atlantis for our ceremony and outdoor reception. Anyone else have a wedding there, who can share?

      Which dress do you like better?

      By Usman · Posted

      Of course my vote goes to dress #1. But I want to point out that the bride's dress is not the most important attribute at a wedding. Of course it is very important, but as an "experienced guest" who has been to many weddings, I want to assure you that more guests' attention is tied to the interior. Most of all I remember the wedding of my best friend, they took decor for home https://flowersdecor.ca/, and decorated the entire room with it, because of this was very comfortable to be there. I loved the atmosphere and will remember that day for a long time.
