I love lamb. Especially braised lamb shanks. Might have to search around a bit for shanks since they are not a typical "cut".
This is my favorite recipe.

Meat literally falls off the bone. Save the bones for the dogs!

One day we will get to eat the Easter bunny, and he will be delicious!

You better hope it isn't the Rabbit of Caerbannog. Look at the bones!!!
Just in case, remember this:
"...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it
One...Two...Five!
Three, Sir.
Three!
Three, Sir.
Three!
Five lb. pork butt which has been in the brine for about 3 days. Lovingly rubbed down with a Memphis-style (Tennessee BBQ is the best don't you know??) and on the egg smoker. Here we are at 4 hours. Temps consistent at about 225 +/- over a mixture of oak and hickory (roughly 50/50). Should be done in another 5 hours or so....
The rabbit didn't nibble your bum, did he?
Nice! Looking good, but I am sorry that you are so mistaken
Nice! That should taste great.
Meat and more meat. For lunch we are headed to my in-laws where I'm told a Virginia ham with all the fixins' awaits. This evening I'm looking forward to a slow cooked pot roast that I better start in a few. Breakfast was waffles and turkey sausage. Yeah, figured we better go lower fat for the breakfast meat.
Tomorrow I'll probably eat a salad and call it a day.

I made Baked ham, Gratin Dauphinois, butter and garlic sauteed asparagus, and cherry crumble for dessert.
I gotta say that it was delicious. But I had a little incident while making the potatoes. I just bought a new mandolin and while slicing the potatoes for the Gratin, I decided to slice off the side of my thumb
. So I just got me a couple days off work.
Dinner was a hit though

yeowch! The mandoline claimed another victim! It adds good flavor! Hope you are healing up well.
oh yeah, I'm a reasonably fast healer. Worst part is, I work with my hands so I wasn't able to work the last couple days. Goin in today though. Gotta get paid.
