Latestarter's ramblings/musings/gripes and grumbles.

[Mike CHS]

I threw a bunch of veggies with the leftover leg of lamb that we had Saturday. I let if get too dried out on the smoker but if you haven't made soup using smoked lamb, it is always awesome tasting. It is so close to breaking down completely that the soup is ready to eat as soon as the veggies are cooked.

By the way, the meat we had on Saturday was from an 18 month old wether but a lot of times when you tell someone that the meat is mutton they get turned off before they even try it.

If you don't mind, I'll stick the picture here since it is currently a food thread.

It's not lunch time yet but now I'm hungry...

That looks really tasty Mike. I have no issues with much of anything posted to my thread. Food pics are always enjoyed! Thanks again for everything and for the lamb. I've only had the one steak so far, & it was great. I'm sure the rest will be as well. What did you think of the steaks you tried from my lamb? You never said...

 

[Mike CHS]

We really enjoyed it. When we cooked yours, we also cooked a couple from one of the 18 month old wethers that we processed this summer and we honestly couldn't taste a bit of difference in any and they were all smooth and mild tasting.

Lamburger makes great tacos. I like to make stuffed burgers with chopped onions and feta cheese in the middle. Since I love patty melts (only on rye bread) lamburger and bacon is awesome on patty melts too.

@Bruce did you ever get your lamb? I know you didn't get any lamb during the college tour trip.

Actually I did! We stopped at a place called Taste of Egypt in St. John, NB for lunch on the way back. Rack of lamb was on the dinner part of the menu so I figured I was SOL again. But DD asked the waiter if they made it for lunch and he said yes

And I went to my optometrist in Northampton, MA last Thursday. Across the parking lot is a Moroccan restaurant named Mosaic. I had the Lamb Salad. Salad with 2 lamb chops on top

He oughta buy some from Mike and have it shipped to him in a styrofoam cooler!!

Heck, found out last night that our friend that moved from here to near Nashville a few years ago is in the state though about 50 miles from here. I'm SURE she would have been willing to tote a cooler full of frozen lamb from Mike

a little sour cream

For real or was it Tzatziki ? It is kinda like sour cream but WAY better.

Have I mentioned that I wouldn't mind living in Mike's workshop and begging for leftovers?

Yes you have. I thought you wanted to live there because of all the toys he has in the shop.

Right, the toys and the FOOD!!!

I'm sure you're willing to work for Mike in exchange for the room and board
