But first…..
Those who know me and / or read this blog know I hate to clean.
I discovered the most marvelous cleaning tool today: mon mari’s air compressor.
I’ve used it often in the past to blow out our computers.
When you live with two large, active puppies it becomes necessary to take the case off the computer and blow the dust and dirt out every few months.
When you live in a construction site with two large active puppies, in the middle of freshly plowed farm fields it becomes necessary to blow them out a bit more often.
But, until today, I didn’t make the leap to general household cleaning.
If I could carry everything in the house out to the barn to blow out the dust I would.
If I could figure out how to blow the dust out while still in the house without just redistributing it I would.
Picture a woven basket that is covered in dirt and dust. It’s impossible to get in all the little nooks and crannies with a rag. A few blasts from the air compressor and it’s immaculate.
Now I just need to work out an efficient system of using it….
On to the lamb.
This is a big holiday weekend coming up – both Easter and Passover. Lamb is a traditional dish for both.
Here are our favorite recipes, using either a leg or a shoulder.
Leg of Lamb Roasted on a Bed of Potatoes
Roast Leg of Lamb with Garlic, Rosemary and New Potatoes
Slow-Roasted Moroccan Leg of Lamb (our absolute favorite)
I’ll be at your house for Easter dinner.
And to think we just got an air compressor.
Hahahaha….that’s how I make my beans, but I don’t add leek. White beans are so economical, easy to prepare, and good for you, I don’t know why people don’t eat them more often. Lamb prices here are outrageous. Two grocery stores in my town have now stopped carrying it altogether. One pound of ground lamb is $10.00!!! Happy Easter!
An air compressor for cleaning!! What a great idea. I know that we don’t have one lurking in the basement or garage so, can we borrow yours?
I’ve never thought to add leeks to beans either. That’s another great idea. Thank you.
Tanna, handy little things, er, big things… Come on over!
Gary, we’re lucky that lamb is reasonable here. And I agree about the beans – love them.
Elizabeth, my first house in France came with a huge leek bed…. I put them in everything. (can’t let them go to waste LOL) The habit stayed.
