just call me sandra-homemaker.. well don't actually, but i have been quite domestic this week which ended at lunch with the grand finale. lamb was the first meat i had in israel after a 2.5 year stint of being a vegetarian (which is over..praise Him!). i recently had lamb meatballs as an appetizer at a wedding that were to die for, and so have had the idea of making lamb burgers in my head for several weeks. and since i got a sudden urge to go to the grocery store this week, lamb burgers were on the menu. i am not sure the last time i cooked an actual meal or had gone to the grocery store and left with more than 3 things, for that matter, so these lamb burgers were quite the talk around the coleman household the past couple days.

so there's grocery shopping and cooking and then yesterday i got into a "cleaning mood," which usually consists of straightening my room and doing the dishes.. but no, yesterday i was full out on my hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor! sweat occompanied my hard work and afterwards i lit a candle to make it smell like cinnamon and sat on the couch and just looked at the kitchen for..a good while.

today for lunch i made the lamb burgers. corn on the cob. (and erica made potatoes.) and of course i had one of the red vevlet cookies for dessert (which is a "domestic" activity i LOVE to do..too bad we cant live off cake & cookies).. and maybe it's the 5th cookie i've had since yesterday, but who's counting?:) so cheers to my week of domesticity! i also bought wine this week; after work the week will officially conclude as i sip on that. it was fun and i feel accomplished, although i definitely cannot comprehend doing this everyday. wow. way to go moms-of-the-world, you are truly amazing.

and in light of my last post.. i would have wanted to be one of the "mattithiah of the levites, the firstborn of shallum the korahite, [who had] the trusted office over the things that were baked in the pans." 1 chronicles 9:31
