My Darling and Train Boy disappeared about 11.30 this morning to go to trains. It's so nice to see them go off together, there are not many 18 year olds who would voluntarily spend so much time with a bunch of old men playing trains. It's a great hobby for him to have, expensive, but at least we know where he is, who he's with and what he's doing :)
Before they left my Darling put the leg of lamb on the rotisserie, ready for me to put it into place on the bbq to cook for dinner. Yummo. It's so nice done this way. I stud the outside with slivers of garlic and fresh rosemary and baste with olive oil and lemon juice while it's cooking. It has the best taste and cooked on the rotisserie it is so tender and moist - almost falling off the bone.
I used up some wrinkly veggies - potato, carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, parsnip and onion. Cut them up roughly, into largish chunks, drizzled with a little olive oil and put them in a foil tray on the bbq to cook along with the roast.
The big boys were home by 6 and it's a lovely evening so we ate outside. The table looked lovely with new lime green placemats and the white crockery, very fresh and summery. I hunted out some greenish coloured wine glasses I had hidden in the back of the wall unit to use and the whole scene looked great. Add in a platter piled high with golden roast vegetables and a roast waiting to be carved and the scene for a perfect meal was set.
Dinner was delicious, everyone cleaned their plates, always a good sign. And best of all no cooking inside so no pots to wash, and the plates, glasses and cutlery went straight into the dishwasher.
The leftover lamb is sliced and in a Deli Keeper in the fridge for tomorrow's lunches. I can't wait.
