Kofta Kebabs -- Today's Meal
Peewee enjoying some Pete’s Produce corn.

Today’s meal by Chef Bill Sr was delicious lamb kofta kebabs on the grill with a side of corn on the cob from Pete’s Produce out there on Route 926 in West Chester.

The recipe for the kebabs is loosely based on one from America’s Test Kitchen. Remember the measurements here are but rules of thumb.

4 lesser cut lamb chops

1 small onion

Peanuts (small handful)

Garlic powder 1.5 tbs

Paprika  1.5 tps

Salt 1 tsp

Pepper 1 tsp

Cloves .25 tsp

Cinnamon .25 tsp

Nutmeg .25 tsp

Parsley 1/3 cup

Mint 1 tbs

Mix the onion and spices in a food processor then add the lamb after cutting into quarter-inch chunks. Grind them together and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the parsley and mint then knead. Roll into kebabs and put them on skewers. Put in the refrigerator for an hour. Grill the kebabs and serve them on hot dog potato rolls with a sauce of sour cream and dill.

2016 Autumnal Equinox Is Now

2016 Autumnal Equinox Is NowThe 2016 autumnal equinox is right now 10:21 a.m., EDT Sept. 22 according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac as the sun crosses the celestial equator. Fall has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and the days are now shorter than the nights and will continue to be so until the spring equinox.

The celestial equator is a circle concentric with the actual equator that extends infinitely to space. As the Earth has a 23 degree tilt the the northern half tilts towards the Sun during half its orbit and away the other half. The equinoxes occur when tilt switches.
