Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Roast Lamb

For our Easter dinner, I adapted this recipe for roast lamb. John prefers his meat on the pink side; but you could easily roast it longer.


Roast Lamb

In a large freezer bag, combine:  2 cups plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, 4 cloves of garlic (pressed), and the zest of 2 lemons.  Add one boneless lamb roast, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon pepper, 1 tablespoon rosemary leaves, 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, 4 cloves of garlic, and the zest of 2 lemons.  Mix well with an immersion blender.  

Put roast in baking pan, and spread olive oil mixture on top.  Cook at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes per pound, depending on your pinkness preference. 
Thanks for my family, who are free with compliments and help.  (And that's no April Fool's joke!)

  1. That looks delicious and I have never had lamb before!

  2. That looks and sounds really good, although I look at lamb a little differently now that I've been to my brother's farm to hold a bunch of them. I'm not going to go vegetarian or anything, but it will be a while before I eat lamb again. Give me a few months and I just may try it.

Ten Things of Thankful: Autumn Edition

It's autumn time, one of my favorite times of year.  I just couldn't leave this weekend as a one-post weekend.  

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this...
