Plans for today (2025)

[karadekoolaid]

Going to make some tapenade for the party tonight, and I'll take a bag full of pakoras I made last week, along with some tamarind chutney. Then all we'll be missing is a bottle of prosecco or two.
I'm also going to make some sweet chile jelly today

I removed the fat and french half of the lamb like Curtis above, I decided just to French one leg of lamb, the other one I’m going to eat au naturel, what the heck, it’s a very time consuming process, last year I don’t recall we French the rack of lamb either. Lots of tasty bits were removed for no reason. We are not high end restaurant, I need to remind myself, resting for the moment before I finish the other half.

You've seen me; I eat -all- of it.

I’m wondering if I can cut out the little bits of lamb and use it in the stew late, I personally don’t want to waste anything , but I also don't want a lot of fat either. I wonder if I can use the fat to roast potatoes?

Yes to all of the above!

I would render the fat first but you've expressed being a not a lot of effort cook so that might not work for you.

Thank You Barriehie, I saved everything and freeze the whole thing, maybe after New Year, I will have time to deal with it. These 2 racks of lambs are not very fat.

You're welcome!

Good plan! Good outcomes take time.

Resting for an hour or two before I do pana cotta and poached pears in red wine sauce and that’s it for me.
After that gift wrapping and in the evening we’re going play Scrabble.

Done cooking my two dessert dishes, I’m waiting for them to cool down before I put them away. I need to stay away from the kitchen so my kids can start making minced pies.
