Xiaoxi did the most incredible senior thesis. She is a music major and she put on an opera for which she composed the music for the orchestra, wrote the lyrics, and acted as conductor/director. Needless to say, this project made her disappear for awhile so when it was finally over I proposed that we have a celebratory dinner. Xiaoxi and I like to eat meat together, so naturally that had to be part of the plan. On the menu tonight was a rack of lamb, roasted Brussels sprouts, and couscous. Xiaoxi made a delicious apple tart which rounded the feast out nicely.
The lamb was absolutely delicious. I covered the rack generously with pesto sauce which served to lock in moisture. Additionally, it became crispy as the lamb cooked which allowed for a very nice textural contrast. The lamb was roasted, along with some quartered sprouts in a 450 degree oven for about 10 minutes.
yay meat house! It was so nice, Sarah. I should put on more operas so we can have more celebratory meat fests.
