Last night I got a particular treat after act of a toothsome dinner at a cosy pub in Surry Hills, Sydney at the Shakespeare Hotel.
The lamb shank at Shakespeare`s made my mouth water just look at it. I regret not carrying a bottle of Hot Chili Sauce in my bag to dip it in.
Would have been a delightful combination.
After dinner I got my second surprise treat, floor tickets to the Kylie Minogue concert!
This morn I decided I would see for a lamb recipe to make this weekend. While searching for a recipe I couldn`t get the song Can`t Get You Out Of My Mind by Kylie Minogue out of my head. Ironic.
I remembered the list of the present last night was Aphrodite, so I was divine to build a Greek dish. Gourmet Morsels has some international spices and blends, which is how I came across the Greek Gyros Mix. So my roommates are leaving to be getting Greek Lamb Gyros this weekend. Yum!
