First roast

Eating meat again after an absence of 18 years has meant a culinary voyage of discovery and a general dusting down of old cooking skills. Decided to attempt a roast yesterday with the help of Mosh. Probably the first time I've cooked one for 20 years. It's been a long time for Mosh too.
Chose a leg of lamb as it's my favourite and am quite pleased with our first attempt. Wasn't pink in the middle as I'd have preferred but Mosh said it was probably best to err on the side of caution for the first one.
Adam and Dr T, our guinea pigs, asked for seconds so it couldn't have been that bad.
What with the lamb, a mountain of tatties and veg and chocolate pecan pie for dessert I think I managed to eat the equivalent of my own body weight in food. In fact I haven't felt that full since I last spent Christmas day with my parents. I won't be eating again until Thursday.
Mind you I'll probably still be wading through the washing up on Thursday.

Didn't know I owned that many plates

The experience has made me come over all Good Housekeeping though. I've put the left over lamb in the freezer to make a curry with one Saturday night and am boiling up the bone to make some stock...
