The Mercury News had a recipe for turkey sliders this week. Sliders are mini-burgers about two to three inches across. Jan decided she wanted some for dinner. I had some left over lamb from Sunday’s dinner, so I suggested using it for the sliders. While it was not quite what she wanted, she agreed, if I would make fresh buns.

Apparently, my sisters and I never remembered to get the recipe for my mother’s dinner rolls. When Jan asked for sliders for dinner, they would have been a good choice for the buns. Jan, however, has this thing against white bread, so I would have had to make them at least partly with whole wheat anyway. While I am making these as slider buns, they would also make very good dinner roles.

It is son-in-law Chris’ birthday week and he has asked for Moroccan. Last year I made an oxtail tajine. He loved it, but it was a bit too oily for Jan. I decided to look for something else Moroccan.

Son-in-law Chris’s birthday is this week, so Jan decided to bake him a brownie cake to go with my Moroccan feast. Chocolate brownie cake may not be Moroccan, but Chris loves Chocolate. Sacrifices must be made.

I am making Moroccan stuffed vegetables and I wanted a dish for the starch eaters in my home. I found this recipe on-line and my first thought was to make it Californian, raw vegetables and starch with a dressing. As I read through the directions I began to understand the appeal of the lightly sautéed vegetables. Still, I could not help myself from making some changes.

I was looking for a salad to go with my lamb stuffed vegetables and this one struck my fancy. The tangy citrus should offset the oiliness of the lamb quite nicely. I chose Cara cara oranges, because they are seedless and the pink color should look nice with the red and white of the radishes. I decided to add some celery for the extra crunch.

It is Spring Break, so Eilene’s Thursday show night has been moved to Saturday. They are watching the last Lord of the Rings movie. It is time to think up some new Shire recipes.

Some may have noticed that I have not posted anything in the last week. We have been on spring break in Death Valley and the Owens Valley. Jan was born in Lone Pine— actually in Bishop, where the only hospital was at the time—and she needs to get back to the high desert every few years to recharge.
While I normally use this blog to post recipes, Eilene has become quite the nature photographer. She took over 500 pictures while on this trip. Here are just a few of the best. Continue reading

Eilene has settled into a routine of a video night on Thursday. Three to five of her friends will show up to watch the Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones or whatever they are into that week. I, of course, am delegated to feed the masses. It is a struggle to think, “What will I feed several starving teenagers this week.”
