Easter 2017 - be warned: explicit images

[atomicsmoke]

Like always Easter at our house is...all about lamb. For most in my family this is the only time of the year when they eat lamb.

Starts with a 20lb lamb. Most are 25-30-35lbs Not easy to find smaller ones (and they are expensive).

No wonder your kiddos were off in another room decorating eggs:  if this is Easter around your palace, atomic, I wonder what Halloween looks like!!  

Looks good so far--I'm in for the rest!

Looks like you're going to have some tasty lamb dishes. With the head stock are you going to make a stew or a soup?

It will be soup finished with sour cream.

 

[crankybuzzard]

Too busy with savoury dishes. We outsourced some of the deserts.

You can tell from that cross Christianity is not doing well today. Or it could be my mother-in-law getting old.

Getting hungry....time to try the smoked dried cured tenderloin . it's planned to be served on Easter Sunday, but you know....making sure it won't make people sick.

Last night the egg crew used some smoked backfat to give eggs a shine. That awoke some cravings.
