Lamb and pine nuts kebab on a cinnamon stick

Mondays and Thursdays were the “Shuk” (market) days for my mom.

Meaning, she would go shopping for fresh produce twice a week. On those days my mom would make a light meal, grilled meats and a fresh salad.

The kitchen was packed with grocery bags, full of vegetables and fruits when we sat down for a light lunch.
