cookery

I decided to indulge myself and bought a package of those tiny, delicious rib lamb chops. For about $5, which is a lot for a smallish meat course for two, but cheap for an indulgent dinner.

So, lamb chops grilled (okay, fried) with garlic and rosemary. Macaroni with butter and grated cheese. Some of those little pre-peeled carrots, a vegetable course I didn't have to time, because I'm way out of practice on chops, and didn't know how long they'd take.

We were happy animals, all of us.

And then I took the bones and the bits of fat from the chops, put them in a saucepan with half an onion, a piece of celery, and a few spices, and simmered for an hour or so.

I now have a cup of lamb broth sitting in the freezer, waiting for the next cooking adventure.
