Turkey for Dinner

Not much to report today. Leanne and I went up to the orchard to get some peaches. On the way, I stopped at the little gas station nearby because A. I needed cash and B. the sign outside says something about fresh lamb and I LOVE lamb, so I had to check it out. Turns out that the owners of the store also own a farm just down the road, and they've switched from raising pork to raising lamb for butchering. The butchering is being done locally, and it looked really good, so I got a boneless leg and a couple pounds of ground. Can't WAIT to try it - that might be tomorrow's dinner, because I do believe there's a recipe in the _Eating Well_ cookbook for lamb.

Yesterday we went to Earth Fare, which is almost always a disaster for me because I love the place and I always spend more there than I should. I love everything about it - the layout, the super cool products, the cheese selection, and their meats are just beautiful. The problem is that everything in the place is just SO expensive compared to a regular grocery store. This is another one of those situations where taking something OUT of a product (in this case, pesticides or whatever else makes a food NOT organic) makes said product more expensive. . Anyway, in the meat case yesterday were these sesame crusted turkey breasts. I asked the kid behind the counter how to cook it, and he tried ever so hard to look at me while reading from the card behind the counter, LOL. Directions: Wrap in foil and bake about 40 minutes.

So, I wrapped in foil and baked about 40 minutes. The meat was just done through, but talk about dry! That's not something I'll be buying again. BUT - I did eat mine (cut in half and shared with Ginny) - and it stayed down, prolly because I chewed it into submission. ;)

Oh drat, I forgot to do the cauliflower thing.... Maybe we'll have that with the lamb.
