Being the first dinner after our engagement, I believe this was the true test of whether or not this will last :). Overall, this dinner was wonderful. However, we must grade it through a rigorous report card.
The grading scale will be based on learning from past experiences, combination of ingredients, juiciness.
Our first attempt (weeks ago) at the meat we used for the main entree in this meal resulted in disaster, or at least the process was a disaster. Lamb has eluded us during Friday night dinners, however, this time we better learn from our past mistakes since we are cooking inside.
This dish is packed with wonderful veggies:
Learning from past experiences: Utter Success
As you can see we pan seared the lamb and it looked wonderful while cooking.
The finished product was not burned, and the house was not on fire. This is why we can consider cooking lamb this time an utter success.
The other past experience we learned from was our sweet potato breading. 
This just as last time, turned out to add a wonderful sweetness and crunch to the lamb. Remember though, don't eat all the sweet potato chips before making enough breading.Juiciness: Excessive
The only part of this meal that could be improved was the juiciness. The lamb was juicy and tender (which is good), but the zuchinni au-gratin had quite a lot of water. This ran over and made it slightly mushy. However, with a little flour this is a great way to have vegetables.
Combination of ingredients: A+
Bananas and icecream, an amazing combination. Caramelizing the bananas, just superb. This provided a crispy, cold, and sweet desert that was the perfect end to a great meal.
