Cooking vs Restaurants

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Tonight's dinner was a classic example of why we prefer cooking to restaurants:  Lamb chops with a fresh mint and red wine reduction, and carrots with ginger and honey.  Four herbed lamb chops, about $12.  Had half a bag of carrots in the fridge and some ginger root in the freezer.  Picked the mint from the front garden and deglazed the frying pan with a splash of some wine I already had.  Total cost for a gourmet supper for two people:  Maybe $15-16 CDN.

Abusing the overworked, underpaid waitstaff: priceless.
