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!)

    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: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...
