A Lambo Showed Up

Last New Year's night, a Lambo showed up at our house. Unbelievable! A year later, he's still going strong.

Lambo should have stayed a baby; those little guys are adorable. Seems like a really friendly little guy, probably would make a good (outside) pet.

The woman who took him in says he follows her around like a dog. In the video you can see him follow her across the yard and back. So cute! And he seemed to remember me and my husband - he came running to see us when we arrived the other day to see him at the end of his first year there. So far, so good!

Not HIS name, but...

First, with my Lebanese heritage, my first choice of name was KIBBIE (the word for a Lebanese Christmas meatloaf-type dish made from ...lamb!). Obviously, I was not allowed to name him. My favorite name for him came from a friend. My husband's name is Rod - so Lamb of Rod was my personal favorite

Second, as it happened, we went out for lamb shish-kabob the night we took him to his new home last year. And this year, we had kibbie for dinner just after we visited him.

I have not been able to stop thinking about kibbie since this thread. I made some for my son and I last night.



We also had tabouli, babagounush, and laban w/cucumbers.

Oooh that looks so good! I used up the very last of my locally grown ground lamb at the holidays making kibbe and kafta, served with hummos & tabbouli. Of course I took some photos too!



For some reason I did close-ups this time:

Kibbe


Kafta balls


Tabbouli


Gotta have some bread!


Yeah, I really cheaped out on the serving dishes! Less to wash after

Looking at these reminds me what a bit of sadness accompanied the preparation of this meal. My father died this past May (I can hardly believe we're coming up on a year...), and when moving my mother out of their big old house, I went through the pantry and collected up all of the ingredients my father cooked with to bring home to my kitchen. My mother never did pick up Lebanese cooking, and I'm so grateful that I learned it young & got plenty of practice with my dad before he died. In the above meal, I used up the very last of his burghul (cracked wheat) in the tabbouli and kibbe, and I used his tahini in the hummos. SNIFF!
