Whoops! Somehow missed this post earlier on!

Gorgeous looking plated lamb chops, Leah!! I'm a big fan of lamb....we get a whole lamb (cut and wrapped of course) from a local farmer once or twice a year. I'm always looking for new and creative ways to prepare it.

As good as your lamb chops look, I have to admit that your sauteed spinach looks just as yummy! Beautiful plated shots too!

Thanks for sharing!
Clarissa
 
Thank you so much Clarissa!

You are SO VERY BLESSED to get the whole lamb!!!!

That must be just decadent to have access to such!!! WON-DER-FUL!!!!

Here is a huge CHEERS to your new week!!!!! - Leah
 
@Moikel- I'm no expert on lamb by any stretch, but the product from NZ and Australia is absolutely the best. We've spent a couple weeks over there for the last few years, and it is all I eat when I'm there.  (Except when we're anywhere near the Sydney Fish Market!!) I've tried some of the ridiculously expensive organic lamb over here, and it just doesn't compare.

Counting the days till our return, BTW, I'm am NOT a city kind of guy, but I absolutely love Sydney.  Wish I could live there. Hope the fires are dwindling, prayers for you & all your countrymen.

I live about 5 k west of fish market. I am originally from a little farming town so even after 35 years in Sydney I still have mixed feelings about it.It the biggest city we have with all that big city tempo & attitude.
Lamb is so very Aussie,I have posted a few lamb & goat meals. I have said this before so excuse the repetition .My first non family paypacket was $117 in 1977 ,a complete side of lamb ,cut & packed was $ 12 .
Anyway this is Leah's thread not mine,& can she cook!!
 
Good Morning to all lamb lovers, and that's interesting indeed (Moikel & Mbogo)!

Thank you for such fantastic comments and shared insight on lamb and its export, availability, and so it goes! It's all quite fascinating and fun to read!

Here's a delicious wish for everyone's brand new and beautiful week to start fantastically! (I'm smoking simple whiting, with eggplant today, and so I'll see how that "quickie" Monday menu does go).

Meanwhile, make today sensational! Cheers and warm wishes, Leah
 
Any new pictures   love that Q view

Well thank you so much Ron!

Yes, my glass is "half full," always, when it comes to looking at that big dance called "life!" (I actually TRIED being depressed once. Yes, I think it was back in 1997 in fact, and on a Tuesday afternoon, at approximately 2:15 p.m, and for about ten minutes. I found the whole grouchy experience to be entirely overrated however, and so back to my odd angularity or outlook I did go)! Smiles.

Seriously though, thanks VERY much for such lovely words! That made my day!

Happy Friday and Happy November!!!!!!!! Here's to the best month ever, so far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers! - Leah
 
There just isn't too much better than grilled lamb and looking at that picture made my mouth water. It is getting hard to find anymore and the price has gone through the overhead. We used to enjoy grilled lamb shanks when they were a little over a buck each now they are almost ten bucks each if you can find them. I was finding good chops at Sam's in our area but even they stopped getting it.
 
Hi Jackson49 and Happy Sunday to you!

Thanks so very much!

The shanks, as far as I am concerned, are the best of the best. I rarely find them now too! (But prefer that as my favorite cut actually - so downright carnal and of substance and flavor)! Quite fun to eat!

Yes lamb isn't easy to come by here, and so when I get it, how grateful am I! (Sharing in your frustration thus, indeed)!

Meanwhile, here's to today and delicious things! I just smoked fantastic fish, and am posting that next!!! Make today amazing!

Cheers! - Leah
 
Hi Moikel!!!

Top of the morning to you my friend!!!!

How goes it with your oyster-esque terrain or travels?

And I'd love to see your shanks! (That sounds obscene, I know, although I really DO mean your lamb). I LOVE the shanks! Cheers! - Leah
 
Things are fine here,windy enough to keep the trawlers tied up.
Happy to do shanks again,I will stick them in nose to tail .
Do you want something middle eastern ish ,European or a curry? I am leaning towards an adaption of a Malaysian goat curry recipe.
Ate fish I caught from my kayak very therapeutic .
 
Hi! Any version of the shanks sound terrific! And eating fresh fish that you "kayak caught?" Well now that just sounds out of this world!!! Delicious stuff! Cheers to today! - Leah
 
Kayak "trawlin", durn it girl, where were you 30 yrs ago? So how big is ur garden? Ain't no "city" in you is there?  I get more impressed with you the more I read your threads. Its sad most woman today couldn't do a 1/10th of what you write. I am lucky tho, my GrandMother took my young wife under her wing and taught her the "Old Ways"  You Co Girl"

Ron
 
Well thank you tons, Ron!

Let's see, 30 years ago, I was indeed 13, and was very much into roasting the entire LEG of lamb then - stuffed with garlic, rosemary and olives in various places - paired with fabulous Bordeaux.

Indeed, I was a foodie since age 6, became a wine connoisseur at age 10, and took over the family cooking as much as allowed, when age 11. But at 13, I suppose, I was a little boring and stuck in a leg of lamb rut really...Ahh well...I've since moved on a bit to more varied things...

In any event, I do hope I made you all smile! Please make today delicious, and thanks very much for your kind remarks. That's certainly quite nice to hear.

Cheers!!!! - Leah
 
Leah.......finally scored some New Zealand lamb chops today at Sam's Club. I got 13 chops for less than 30 bucks. Made my day! Now I'll soak em' down with some Bertoli, salt and pepper and do them over some charcoal. Then I'll make a little Orzo to go on the side. Life is good!
