Itchy Feet

The threatened turn in the weather in coming days set me off this weekend on seasonal housecleaning binge, which in my case means finding room for the houseplants that grew too much during the summer on the porch and shaking out\off travel collected textiles and images. Which gave me a small case of itchy fet (made worse by just having finished The Great Railroad Bazaar).

In lieu of pulling out my pack, I settled for cooking new parents a batch of a Moroccan lamb stew: lamb marinated with garlic, lemon zest and lemon\orange juice. Browned onions with saffron, coriander, cumin and thyme. Pinenuts, tomato and raisins. A splash of red wine and cooked and cooked and cooked. And an Indian themed lunchbox for myself this week. Which is very good, but makes me want to take a nap in the afternoon.
