Two Hundred Three Dollars and Seven Cents

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Two racks of lamb, herb crusted
On a bed of brown and wild rice
Pilaf, served with a side dish of
Orange-sesame glazed green beans -
Meal for two over the weekend

Fast forward eight years down the road
And cooking for a family
Of five not two, indeed becomes
A challenge, to this kitchen wench
And a strain that drains the bankbook

Still, we cannot resist the urge
To splurge on merry holidays
Forget the glazed ham, the dressing
And turkey. Break the bank, we say
For those herb crusted racks of lamb
