rivkaYesterday was such a calm, peaceful day. I woke up early for some obscure reason, so I had plenty of time to relax and read before church. Went to church, listened to a pretty good talk on genetic surgery, destiny, and human nature (in lieu of sermon), chatted with friends for a while, came home.
In the afternoon,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
curiousangel and I lounged about on the couch, watching the Orioles game (until it got too depressing), reading (him), doing needlework (me), napping (him), and generally just enjoying being close to each other.
I tried a new recipe for dinner. I mixed together six minced cloves of garlic, four good-sized sprigs of rosemary chopped into smaller pieces, some salt, and the zest of a lemon, and rubbed it into a lamb roast. Then I browned the lamb and put it into the slow cooker with some potatoes and white wine. It smelled fabulous all afternoon. I reduced the cooking time called for in the recipe, but the lamb still got a bit overdone - I think perhaps the recipe intended to call for a much larger leg-of-lamb than the 3-pound roast I bought. So the meat was just a trifle dry, but it was still tasty - and the potatoes were amazing.
It was just the kind of day I needed, after our long and busy month of July.
