$3.99/lb for lamb chops?? I just checked Whole Foods: $22.99/lb for rib chops from New Zealand.* $9.99/lb for shoulder chops that may or might not be fine for braising. No country listed.
I am fond of MaPo tofu and I am fond of eggplant. How do you prepare your eggplant for adding to MaPo tofu?
My approach to worsening cataracts is to avoid appointment notices from the optometrist. Soon I won't even see them. Hope this helps.
*Shoprite lamb prices are about the same as Whole Foods.
The chops were brought in by one of our local small Chinese grocery stores. I think they may be "discards" when the butcher was cutting the loin chops. They are very irregular in thickness, most were about 2 cm thick. They were packed in bulk. I was so surprised that I bought a bag for $30.00. I may try a Cumin stir-fried lamb with some soon.
I usually can pick up lovely thick lamb chops marked down a Day Before Best if I make Safeway in the morning. I then either stockpile or enjoy that evening. I think lamb loin chops (Alberta raised) usually run about $15.00 / lb.
