This week's Roediger House guest has been dear friend Sheryl Cohen, an elementary principal in Los Angeles. We met during our respective PhD programs at the Curry School at the University of Virginia back in the late 90s and we've been fast and furious friends ever since. I've turned over control of the week's menu to her, and her first request was for the Tupelo Honey Cafe version of lamb and mushroom meat loaf, which we enjoyed Tuesday night along with smashed sweet potatoes and roasted asparagus. This is an incredibly tasty meal that isn't that hard to put together...and it is almost always well-received so it shows up here with some frequency!
(Because we were headed out to a 7 o'clock movie, we had our dinner a bit early...and the late afternoon sun played a bit of havoc with my dinner plate photography.)
