My plate of roast lamb tea ( evening meal ) ……tonite …….I mentioned up,here ^^^ ( just finished eating )

we normally eat about 3 ~ 3.30 pm as we only eat 2 meals a day

I love mint sauce in addition to gravy …mint and lamb go together ….

I've not made lamb in a long time. I usually broil chops with garlic and rosemary.

We normally have chops fried till nice and brown , I only add salt and pepper when cooking chops … I usually buy ( and did today ) what’s called short loin chops @John Brunner …lamb stew is delicious as well cook long and slow …..but add chopped carrot / onion / celery
after lightly frying on a low heat till it smells like the celery …..and brown chops as well before adding …..same principle with a beef stew it brings out the flavours in meats and the basic flavourings …I mentioned up,here ..the veggies …carrots ect …

I add potato / peas / Swede …..after it starts to boil …..

even spinach if I’ve got some growing ….i always add boiling water to my stews …..once meat and veg is browned before adding ….

to the pot .it ……seems to bring out more flavour

Actually I’ve got what I call my hewy pot after a very overweight cook that used to be on TV each afternoon …he had a heavy cast iron pot
( blue on outside and creamy colour inside ) I’ve got one the same I use for stews and soups ….

To save on washing up I brown my veggies ….( partly cook with a tiny bit of oil) in my Hewy pot …..take them out …add / brown the meat …
add veggies back into pot …tip over boing water …add potatoes …..what other veg you like …….slow simmer for 2 + hours with lid on ….

It was funny when I met my hubs in 1986 , on our first date we were chatting about meals ….and he said can you make stew ……what a silly question …but it’s the first thing I made for him when I moved in with him ….

He’d tried but was using a slow cooker ….nah ..stew type meals ….. and slow cookers ….dont go together 😟😟in my opinion …. they simply don’t get hot enough to make a meal mouthwatering ……Well that’s my 2 bobs worth and I’ve had lots of years experience ……and I’m sticking to it … 🤣🤣🤣🤣..so there :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Olive oil dressed bread with hole in middle, salted egg in middle, then fried over easy. Top dressed with catsup. Very tasty at lunch and in light of bread and egg expiration dates, I will have the same for supper. I know it is alarming that I am cooking twice in one day, but better than wasting food.
 
I gave a friend a ride to a doctor's appointment (80 years old and complains that she has to take breaks when she rakes the leaves on her sizeable property), and after the appointment she bought us dinner at the Chinese buffet. The evening buffet has stuff that's not on the lunch buffet, like large ribs, fried butterfly shrimp and huge head-on prawns.
 
Y'all best sit your old butts down for this. I am cooking again! Idaho Russet baked potato with cheddar cheese. :sneaky: Stab the tater a few places with a fork, coat with olive oil, roll around in course sea salt, and bake uncovered on a rack, for 1 1/2 hours at 400 F. Cut open, add butter, salt, black pepper, Pimenton Caliente, cheddar cheese, and top with sour cream. :)
