Everyone's dishes look so good. Ann, that bread! And the chicken fried rice mgaretz! and so many more yummy looking dishes.
As I said I don't cook much during the week so it was a few days of grabbing pulled pork, etc from the freezer. On Thursday, I woke up to the sound of a tree hitting the roof. We had a rather freak snowstorm here and my oak tree (perfectly healthy otherwise), literally split in half and one half landed on the roof. Fortunately, it was only the upper branches and no damage was done. I had a balsam fir that was bent over so badly with the snow load, it cracked, but didn't come down, so we had to take that down as well. Much of the day was spent without power in town though fortunately we have a generator, and there were downed trees everywhere you looked. Friday was a long day of clean up so we went out to dinner, to a local micro brewery pub which opened during the pandemic but I'd not been to yet, and I was incredibly impressed with the food.
We went from snow on Thursday, to 20c today, so once again we fired up the smoker to do a leg of lamb. The rub is a mint, garlic rosemary rub. Mini roasted potatoes tossed in olive oil, garlic, and rosemary and a toasted almond cranberry spinach salad. Normally I would make a mint jelly to go with this, but I make it with red current jelly and I couldn't find any. Truth be told, our secret guilty pleasure is the green stuff lol which I did have on hand.
