Supper, Saturday December 17: Roast leg of lamb with English roasting rub; whipped gold potatoes with roasted garlic; peas; radish.
We bought a few spice mixes to experiment with earlier in the year from a little specialty shop. It sold only herbs, spices, blends, and specialty salts. This blend was called "English Roast Rub." It smelled pretty good so we got a single use packet of it. I finally got around to using it with the lamb though it is intended for beef.
Holy Crap! It's REALLY good with the lamb.
Alexis insisted on peas. Nothing wrong with that. It's just unusual that she is adamant about something on the menu. It's also worth noting that frozen peas are a pretty good vegetable to have on hand. They can go with or in lots of things. They also can be recovered from freezer burn easily. Rinse them then cover with water and let them stand til they get their color back. The peas above were moderately burned. No lie.
