Even though she can see right through it, saying things like, “hey honey, remember that dish we had on vacation? Wow that was good,” sometimes gets you what you want.

Today’s example? Turkish lamb meatballs (köfte) with rice.

As usual, #chefinthemaking brought her own flair to the dish. Meatballs were smaller (and juicer), dried cranberries were added...but a lot of the staple Turkish spices and flavors were there - coriander, cumin, cinnamon, cilantro, etc.

Oh, and I loved the crunch of pistachios too. So, so yummy!!!

Thanks, wife.

Reminds me of that other time when we were on vacation...
