A New Adventure in Cooking....Personal Chef

This counts as the 2nd meal delivery to my friend Kelly this week.  She has hired me to provide her with 2 home made meals per week.  She is not only extremely busy at her job, being the President of her family business, but an avid runner who doesn't always have the time to prepare meals every night. 
 This week she already received a favorite of mine:  Salmon and Edamame Pasta Salad, and she raved about it.  Today she will come home to Lamb Lettuce Wraps with Tomato/Cucumber/Mint/Pine Nut Salad and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Sauce. 
These wraps were FANTASTIC.  I will be making them again!!!! 
Kelly has really provided me with the opportunity to help her and
 to help & challenge me into preparing special meals!
My girl Lia (who does NOT eat lettuce) gobbled the lettuce wraps up and asked for.... MORE!
Because Kelly is special, and always generous (besides being my first paying customer - THANK YOU girl!) not to mention a friend, she will be getting some added bonus items.  Today I am delivering along with the lamb wraps a special cocktail:  Cucumber Lime Gimlet made with cucumber juice (left over from making Tzatziki), lime, mint, gin, and a little bit of sugar.
 Sooooo refreshing!!! 
Honestly the taste of summer.  I could not detect the gin.  Thankfully all I had was enough cucumber juice for 2 - one for Kelly and one for me!  Otherwise I could have had more. I gave Lia a tiny sip and she wanted more.  No way little one!  But I could make an NA version for her!
