This week I am making lunch for my elderly parents. They have different tastes so I am hoping that each meal would not have to be split into separate parts and that they will collectively enjoy each dish.
Apologies to my friends Gordon and keith who are allergic to shell foods. Please note guys that you can have everything in this menu other than the conch.
Today’s menu is:
- Conch[lambie} in a garlic butter sauce
