Holidays tend to bring out the Martha in me. Come on - don't you ever feel the inner call to decoupage, ganache, or embellish?
I sometimes like to pretend I am a gourmet chef. I enjoy purusing cooking magazines and websites, searching for new and adventursome meals to make my own. This Easter I decided to forgo the typical ham and pursue the higher standard. Lamb. Yogurt, fresh lemon, lime, & garlic marinade. And what meat doesn't work having spent time on the outdoor grill? Let me just say, I think it was a success, despite my uncouth family who inflicted jokes about a sad, three-legged sheep and put in requests for grilled rabbit next year.
So now I am exploring all of the options for leftover lamb. Tonight was a Shepherd's Pie-inspired creation. Tomorrow? Who knows. Maybe some kind of stew or kabobs.
Baa!

I am a little deflated since I wrote this post a couple of hours ago. Allan just realized we were out of cat food, so he hollered to me from the kitchen, Can I give the cats some of your casserole? Ouch.
Way to go! Experimenting is so much fun! Even better when it turns out edible! ha ha
As for next year, I have heard that rabbit is really good - as long as you don't eat mine!
Lamb is great. I loved this time of year when we taught ESL to Albanians because they always bought a lamb and we would eat the leftovers on Monday. Good eatin!
The yogurt sounds especially good. I'll bet you all enjoyed it.
