OK I am making my first leg of lamb... a small one only four pounds

I have never made leg of lamb before... Lambchops yes but a leg NO.

I got a recipe for time and temperature... but read sooo many of them I forgot what herbage so I bought what I thought might work.... I saw dad make lamb once and he poked garlic slivers into the meat.

So I took a whole head of garlic and peeled every clove bigger than my pinky nail.

I rinsed the lamb cut little slits in it and shoved garlic cut in half lengthwise all over the meat on Both sides....

I cut up carrots and onions in chunks....

Then i did a heavy salt and pepper on the meat and seared it in olive oil till it was brown.

Dumped in the carrots and onions and spread them around the meat.

I had sage so I cut up a handfull and sprinkled that over the veggies....

Then I had two bags of Mushrooms so I thought what the heck and dumped those in ontop and around.

I filled the BIG Fried chicken pan with a quarter box of beef broth and about a half box of Turkey stock... What I had on hand. The idea was to bring the moisture up about half way on the leg....

OOooh Dang I forgot the rosemary.... I will put that in when i check it half way7 through.

I have mint for toppings and mint jelley.

I was amidst all this and when grandma came in she asked me what I was fixing....

Leg of lamb....

What followed was a gawd aweful sound of someone Wretching.... Apparently she doesnt like MUTTON. I said no its not mutton its Lamb.... "Ok Then Baby Mutton.... bleakch" "I was afraid of that.... I am prepared to fix something else for you" "no I can gag it down"

so much for my confidence. I then told her this is my first try at a leg of lamb if you dont like it I please feel free to tell me so."

I got her to eat mushrooms once.... so I knew that was a hurdle.... LOL she can pick those out.

I plan on double roasting some potatoes too.

The house smells heavenly and only a teeny bit like lamb.....

deb "she turns 99 in July.... she turns 99 in July.... deep breath... let it go"

Yea Deb for the rain!!!!

People are nuts here... WE get so little rain that the oil on the roads is like soaked in. Then when it rains it foams up like soap suds.... Nice to have a rain slick with an oil slick on top... Even people used to driving in the rain have trouble here.

AND get this we had two days of 100 degrees here last week.... But this storm is a cold one.... Bringing the Snow line down to 4000 feet.... Yep we are getting snow in the mountains.
