I had grilled lamb last night.  I wish it was more widely available around here.

Ham and turkey last night at the office party.
Almost all the traditional fixings to go along with it.
Ate too much...groan.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

We don't eat it as often as we would like for the same reason. My wife complains about the amount of fat in the meat. She cuts a lot of it out prior to cooking. I know a fellow that has mainly grass fed lambs that have less fat. However, my wife didn't want to mess with taking a live lamb to the butcher.

In the summer, she makes lamb kebabs on the grill. Very delicious.

Finished off the roasted chicken with a baked potato and a Terry's chocolate orange for dessert.  Good stuff.

I'm making one of these crap-in-a-can recipes.  Looking forward to this one.

I had Lamb chops for lunch and Hamburger Helper for dinner (Cheeseburger). This time I drained the grease. Much much better.

Lamb chops have been my Sunday lunch twice now. its because they are just not that big.
This was 4 little ones with hugs bones in each. Took my little George Foreman like 15 minutes to grill them.

I wanted to buy lamb rip chops tonight, but they're $16 a pound.  Shoulder chops are much more affordable, usually $6/lb.

I went with some store-prepared "steakhouse cuts".  It says to marinate it, so it's probably some cheap piece of muscle.

Bacon-wrapped baked potato and roasted chicken.

I found a few slices of bacon I had frozen and forgotten about.  I'm going to wrap them around potato halves and see what happens.  I usually toss a little coarse-grind or cracked pepper on my bacon before cooking it.

Delicious, but the brandy disappeared during cooking.  I'll probably substitute rum next time.

Tip:  Your average shot glass is two ounces.  If you're in to portion control, you should use one.

In fact, it was bacon-wrapped bacon with a bacon garnish, and a side of extra-sharp cheddar cheese.

Having dinner at your house is like the Monty Python Spam skit with bacon substituted for spam.  :)

Pasta Genovese and tiramisu.

I have a quart of custard left over.  I'll probably make crème brulee with the rest.
