Just putterin'.
Apr. 22nd, 2004 08:14 pmToday sucked onaccounta wardrobe malfunction, which I'm not going to get into. The evening promises better. So far, I have done laundry, sorted mail, paid accumulated bills, tested a new putty to attach figurines to painting bases, taken the recycling out, and created a new recipe.
Mega-packs of lamb shoulder chops were what was on sale, so that's what's for dinner. I heated some duck fat in the cast iron skillet, seared two chops, sprinkled them with dill & thyme, poured 1/2 c. shiraz over, covered, turned heat to low, and let braise for ~10 minutes. Pretty tasty with a bit of salt and pepper, if I say so myself. I think I'd try garlic/rosemary next time. Got plenty of chops to test it on, heh heh.
I rather enjoy the occasional evening of solitude, I do confess, at least when I know someone is coming back. Hate sleeping alone.
