Granny's gone and done it again

Just us and our 35 horse power Mahindra tractor with bucket and a snow blade on the back. DH cleared a path for me up to the coop and shoveled out the deck and path to the drive way. It hovered around freezing all day so the wet snow got a hefty crust on it now which makes it fun to walk in.

Today the high so far is 21 toasty degrees and they are calling for more snow tomorrow. One forecast is calling for 1-3 inches and another is calling for 3-5. NOAA was completely off on yesterdays snow saying 1-3. They are saying 3-5 this go around. Makes me think all the grad students are sitting on the floor in the middle of their office with a little spinner in front of them and one of them spins the little arrow around and they all hold their breath to see what snow depth it lands on. WHAT? 3-5? Okay, that sounds good, we'll go with that! Educated morons the lot of them.

Frankly at this point, Weather.com's 1-3 sounds better. I'm already tired of humping hot water and treats (oatmeal and sunflower seed this morning in a hot mash) out to the chickens twice a day and it's just December....tomorrow.

I'm ready for summer early this year.

We only had snow showers today and yesterday and I'm ready for summer too

your telling me 2 different things. Cant overcook and the longer you cook it will be tough

Sorry. I meant DONT over cook it
It is meant to be eaten medium rare

She means you can't overcook it if you want it to be good. .

oh, I read it wrong. No surprise there.

I think the quality of beef you get at the grocery just to be blunt, sux. It's like shoe leather. We buy thick, like one inch, top sirloins, toss them in the crock pot and slow cook them till they fall apart. DH loves them that way. I prefer cubing the meat and letting it soak in Grill Mates Brown Sugar and Bourbon marinade then making shish kabobs out of them. Juicy and tender.

BBQ sounds really good.

Gotcha! Thanks

I made it the same way Ive been doing except after it seared and I turned it to low I put a lid on it and timed it. 6 min. then 4. Mine was cooked perfectly, Roberts was bloody raw. He cut his in chunks and I cooked it a little longer. He said it was "ok". It felt strange having meat you actually had to chew. lol Anyway, mashed taters, gravy and seasoned green beans. And I have left overs.

CAFFEINE! That's the 4th "C" thing I'm supposed to avoid bc I get stones too. Citrus, carbonation, chocolate and caffeine! I can never remember it bc I don't drink caffeine. And cruciate vegetables, too, I think, but thst may be a thyroid thing.

Taking chocolate away from you is simply wrong!
I’m pretty sure I would eat it anyway and ask God to sanctify it to my health before eating it!

I need to catch my shut eye I didn't get last night so I'm heading north. Good night all

Is that simply stating that you’re going to bed?

Its gonna make hair grow on the bottom of your feet.

No shoes needed, thank you very much!

Does anyone cook or know someone here to make lamb leg steaks? I have pan seared them in my cast iron skillet then low heat for ? 10 mins.5 each side I'm guessing. Always too raw in the middle and too tough to chew. I have veggie oil or bacon grease and no bottom teeth. HELP!!!!

I buy the whole boneless back quarter and slice it myself. I like it sliced no thicker than three quarter inch. I put tallow or butter in the skillet and bring it to boiling temperature. After adding the steak I turn it down to an aggressive simmer.
I add the lamb steak and set the timer for three minutes, timer goes off, I flip the steak and set the timer for two minutes. It usually fried to a medium rare which is ideal to me.
@Granny Hatchet If you fry it too much it becomes tough to chew.

I would cook them like a steak, but I like my steak med rare. Can you eat med rare lamb?

I try to get lamb steak medium rare all the time and it’s delicious that way.
