My friend and I were discussing _The Passion of Christ_ recently and how brutal it was. Someone wondered how it would go over on TBNโ€™s _Dinner and a Movie_. The next question being what would you make with it? We came up, of course, with rack of lamb with cranberry chutney. Even better: [Grilled Roasted Rack of Lamb in Red Mole](http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/recipe_views/views/108206). Yum! Talk about your Body of Christ! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ---

Deffinately a full middle-eastern/mediteranian spread. Fallafals, warm pita bread, humous, sald with tomatoes and olives, baba-ganoush, maybe a couple of lamb kebabs. Though Iโ€™d rsther be watching Jesus Christ Superstar or Lawrence of Arabia. ---
