I am on Jury Duty, and there isn’t much to say about Card No. 192, so this is as good a time as any to tell you what happened in April. In case you missed it, I posted on Facebook that we are the type of crazy people who throw an fancy party with anContinue reading 192. Grilled Boneless Leg of Lamb

166. Greek Lamb Stew
Now, if you you’re thinking–hey now, didn’t you already make the Greek Lamb Stew card? Well I did. But that was card 156. This is card 166. Greek Lamb Stew NOT in Eggplant Boats. Missing eggplant boats aside, the difference between the two seems to be black olives vs. okra/green beans and elbow macaroni. So,Continue reading 166. Greek Lamb Stew
156. Greek Lamb Stew in Baked Eggplant Boat
It’s National Gyro Day! Sadly, I do not have a gyro to share with you, but I do have Greek Lamb. In a boat. That’s not too far off, right? Whatever. Just roll with me. So it would be remiss of me not to mention that I made this dinner in March of 2021. Yes,Continue reading 156. Greek Lamb Stew in Baked Eggplant Boat
Great Dinners from Life: Spring Leg of Lamb (1969)
I told you that I’d share the rest of my very French Easter, so here’s the main dish, leg of lamb. Because it’s not Easter Sunday without Lamb! This recipe comes from Great Dinners from Life by Eleanor Graves which was published in 1969. John Dominis was the photographer. And the photos are fantastic. IContinue reading Great Dinners from Life: Spring Leg of Lamb (1969)

Hello, yinz guys! Happy Belated Easter! My parents made the trip down to Baltimore for the holiday and on Sunday I made a big, French-inspired, Easter dinner featuring a roast leg of lamb. I will give you the run down of my French Spring Feast soon, but first I’m gonna share with you Lamb Curry.Continue reading Australian Cooking for Today (1977): Lamb Curry
BH&G Meat Cook Book: Lamb Shanks (1971)
I’ve had a hard time wanting to write lately because I don’t want to do much of anything. Maybe because I have been tending to a sick cat all summer. Brian is perpetually congested. He has lost weight and, before his newest antibiotic, his face was covered in snot of many colors. His incessant wheezingContinue reading BH&G Meat Cook Book: Lamb Shanks (1971)
Happy Diwali!
If you are all “huh?” Just know that you’re in the middle of it. Diwali is the Indian Festival of Lights—a 5-day Hindu party that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. The holiday involves lots and lots of candles and firecrackers. I like to celebrate it every year by ordering Indian take-out. This yearContinue reading Happy Diwali!
68. Lamb Shanks in Red Wine
Lookie lookie! Who has another official DiS! meal for you? This gal right here! I feel like it’s been a long time since I posted a whole dinner. The last one was in (lemme check)…it was in April. APRIL!?!? Well, shit. I’ve definitely veered off course from the original mission of the project. Well, noContinue reading 68. Lamb Shanks in Red Wine
Roast Lamb & Kale Curry a la Leftovers (with chutney Jell-O)
Every year for Easter I have a big ol’ roast leg of lamb. And then every year I end up with a whole mess of leftovers. But that’s not a bad thing because every year I make lamb curry. This Easter was no different. Oh, but this year I added a Jell-O mold. The bonelessContinue reading Roast Lamb & Kale Curry a la Leftovers (with chutney Jell-O)
30. Lamb in Wine With Mushrooms
This is another dinner that I made so long ago that I almost completely forgot it. The only reason I know that I made this dinner and that I had to eventually write about it is because I have been carrying around the recipe card for No.30 in my datebook (yes, I still use aContinue reading 30. Lamb in Wine With Mushrooms
BH&G So-Good Meals: “It’s Lamb Night!”
For this year’s Easter Sunday dinner I decided to go with another selection from the Better Homes & Gardens Creative Cooking Library. I did so for a number of reasons: Because I just adore these new cookbooks and want to COOK IT ALL. I’ve prepared all of the really Easter-appropriate dinners from DiS! This particularContinue reading BH&G So-Good Meals: “It’s Lamb Night!”
Happy Easter!
Darlings! Happy early Easter! I hope that you get big ol’ baskets full of eggs and jelly beans and chocolate bunnies. My mum sent me an Easter package with a note that read, “nothing says Easter like chocolate crosses and vampires.” So in the box was a chocolate cross and a DVD double feature ofContinue reading Happy Easter!
65. Cassoulet
As I worked on #65 I kept writing this down as ‘cassolette’ instead of ‘cassoulet.’ One is #65, a traditional French bean and meat casserole. The other one has something to do with a lady’s nether regions. Yeah. You read that correctly. Now the only reason I’ve ever even heard the word cassolette is becauseContinue reading 65. Cassoulet
52. Shish Kebab–now with goat!
Darlings! I feel as though it’s been forever since I’ve posted. Actually, it has been forever. Perhaps it has something to do with the MLK holiday, but I’ve been all kinds of discombobulated. Speaking of MLK day, I went to the parade on Monday and I’m now totally enamored with the Baltimore Westsiders Marching Band.Continue reading 52. Shish Kebab–now with goat!
2. Veal Chops With Mushroom Sauce
Do you see how short this recipe card is? Do you know how awesome that is? Let me tell you–it is super-awesome. So super-awesome that I made this a weeknight meal. Now, to do it to Dinner is Served! specifications, I did make the ‘Jellied Fruit Salad’ the day before. Yeah, you know what thatContinue reading 2. Veal Chops With Mushroom Sauce
13. Marinated Lamb Roast. An Easter X-travaganza!
Lamb on Easter Sunday has been a family tradition for as long as I can remember. So I was very happy that Dinner is Served! was so kind as to have provided a lamb roast-centric card in its cavalcade of meals. Only one problem with #13: it is a roast. That means I have toContinue reading 13. Marinated Lamb Roast. An Easter X-travaganza!
50. Lamb Curry
Let me tell you a little story about me and curry. Imagine it–Pittsburgh, 1999. I had never eaten Indian food (my parents, at this time not being the most adventurous eaters, never ate Indian, so in turn I had never tried it. In fact, I was the one who introduced my father to the wonders ofContinue reading 50. Lamb Curry
