What's for Dinner #128 - the Pastel Easter Egg Hunt Edition - April 2026

Everybody’s on the lamb train today!! :ewe: :cut_of_meat:

Slept like a qween last night following my awesome poker performance…. or maybe it was the delovely :cocktail_glass: nightcap we had after coming home.

I would’ve preferred to lounge in bed longer this morning, but our fishmonger had a 50% sale on their frozen fish starting at 11:30, and I’d yet to use the gift card our hosts last night gave me for my bday months ago. There’s usually a line out the door & I really wanted to get their earlier than my PIC did, so by the time we arrived there was already a substantial crowd :roll_eyes: waiting to pick up baskets full of fabulous fish.

We grabbed a gorgeous piece of king salmon, a sizable steelhead filet, and about a pound of scallops — a nice catch of the day :wink:

Despite sssssssincere plans for a Ssssspicy Ssssunday, neither of us were feeling like the Thai curry or mapo doufu I’d tossed around as dinner options.

Instead, the sunny afternoon was practically begging for a grilled meal, so we hit Sam’s Club to see if there was any affordable beef (nope), or their fabulous lamb loin chops (hail-to-the-yes!).

My boo marinated them right after we got back from shopping (olive oil, onion, garlic, fresh rosemary & mint, oregano, s&p) — not the usual 24-72 hours we prefer, but as long as possible.

The meat was perfectly rare, tantalizingly tender & fabulously flavorful :face_savoring_food:

I made hot crash taters in the AF, this time brushed with avocado oil seasoned with Penzey’s Greek seasoning and extra ‘rigani.

Big salad of spring mix, flavor bombs, Persian cukes & avocado with my creamy garlic herb dressing that I had been craving for days now :smiling_face:

We each had 3 chops & were stuffed, so 2 chops, a couple taters, and a smol bowl of salad are leftover.
