Happy Friday!  Once a month, we in the Richmond office of Ampersand try to

have a potluck lunch using recipes from cookbooks that we sell.   Today was the March

installment and actually the first lunch we’ve managed to achieve in 2015.

To start, Cheryl made Herby Baked Feta with Pita Chips. It was amazing and baking the

cheese seemed to take away the bitterness that feta sometimes has. Next up was Mark’s

offering, Cucumber  Salad with onion, yogurt and cumin- refreshing and delicious. Ali’s dish

was Moroccan Chicken with Preserved Lemons.  So far  we were three for three! All wonderful.

To top off the meal I made Peanut Butter Bacon Fat Cookies  and everyone seemed to enjoy the

bacon-y  aftertaste. I wonder what they’d taste like with crumbled bacon inside???
