More Lamb

All the meats I bought were "family size." I was able to divide up each pack, freeze some right away, and not have to wonder how fresh things were when I cooked with them several days later. This lamb didn't get any better. Especially when there was no stuffing/breading or chutney to help counter it's cheapness. (And that's macaroni because we're down to the last box of pasta in the cabinet and that's what was there: elbows. I bought it this summer, thinking I would make pasta salad. Not so much...)

Adventures in Lamb

When I saw this picture, I couldn't remember what it was or what I had been thinking. Then I saw the finished picture.

Oh... Lamb. Because it was super cheap... All these weeks later, I have to say, this was a pretty gross dinner. Mostly because the meat tasted awful and had a really rough texture. My lazy way of creating a breading, my peach-ginger chutney? Those were really good. But not good enough to compensate for starting with icky-tasting meat.

Broiled Lamb

We went grocery shopping at a lager store this week, so they had lamb chops, and pears, and bags of frozen fruit. It was all kind of exciting. This is broiled lamb chop buried under peaches and pears that simmered in a concoction of apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, and I forget what else... That thing next to it is a biscuit. (I didn't feel like rolling them out and cutting shapes, but, after eating the dropped variety, I remember why sometimes it's worth it to make the extra effort.)

Swedish Meatballs

I never thought it would take so long to make Swedish meatballs again... But here we are like a year later with the encore of Swedish meatballs. Just as well received the second time. After Scrappy claimed she had never had them before. It's been a long time.
