Seventeenth Sunday

Seventeenth Sunday: The Original Menu
Orange appetizer
Roast leg of lamb with mint sauce
Mashed potatoes
Creamed peas with carrots
Cucumber-onion salad
Custard rice pudding
Coffee

The orange appetizer is oranges with the pulp scooped out and replaced with strawberries and bananas. It's interesting how appetizers have evolved since then: now they're almost always fried bits of veggie or meat. I can't ever recall being at a restaurant and seeing fresh fruit on the appetizer menu!

Seventeenth Sunday: The Modern Menu
Cheese and crackers
Broiled lamb chops
Potatoes Anna
Peas and carrots
Cucumber and onion salad
Strawberries
Coffee and Gold

I need to eat more fruit, I should have made the orange appetizer, but chose to use up leftover cheese instead. For some reason I didn't feel like mashed potatoes so I made "Potatoes Anna" (fancy recipe for hash browns) instead. Strawberries are reasonably priced and less sugar the rice pudding (which Brian doesn't like anyway).
