Now that the freezer is back on, I can shop at Sam's again. I don't go there often during the summer because the quantities are too big for the little freezer in my refrigerator. There are lots of things I like to buy at Sam's, but perhaps my favorite is lamb. The lamb in other local stores is over priced and mostly fat. Sam's lamb is lean and no more expensive than a roast.

This afternoon I cooked a leg of lamb. To go with it I fixed parsnips (flavored with buttery spread and a little maple syrup) and spinach (flavored with raisins and a little olive oil). Spinach prepared that way is one of the dishes my son always requests when he comes home.

The As couldn't have lamb, so I fixed fish for them. No mercury, but probably some polyamines. (That's a joke - read yesterday's blog) I also fixed a rice and broccoli dish that they both like.

We had a long lazy dinner and laughed a lot. Right now I can hear my husband in the kitchen unloading the dishwasher. That means it's my turn to load.
