Lamb Popsicles in a Fenugreek Cream Sauce
These delicious lamb chops are derived from Vij's Cookbook of the great Vij's restaurant in Vancouver, BC. Even though I always end up breaking the sauce, they always taste delicious.

Fresh Strawberries
In season strawberries are so good. It makes you want to remember in winter, not to eat them, for they'll be that much better if you wait until summer again.
