Today, I defrosted bone-in leg of lamb. Tucked 20 small cloves of garlic into small holes made with a sharp knife, coated with evoo, fresh rosemary, and lemon juice. It is in the fridge until tomorrow, when we will put it on the rotisserie, A pile of new baby red potatoes will be sitting in a sheet pan, under the rotating lamb to catch the lamb juices. A side of sauteed beet greens and an ear of grilled corn to go with. Oh yum!

I making a rhubarb pie, because I've never tasted one and people tell me I should
This weekend is crazy busy so I made three salads and DH is
throwing some meat on the grill to go with it. I made one green salad (romano salad, sugar snap peas and celery served with a mustard dressing), a pasta salad (boiled pasta, cherry tomatoes, cubed cucumber, cantaloupe and chorizo sausage served with a Provance herbs dressing) and potato salad (store bought!) - but I did pimp the store bought potato salad with a finely, chopped green apple to give it a "zing".
I also bought tzatziki (as I said, it's a busy weekend).
DH did put some chicken breasts on the grill last night, and tonight is copy-paste-repeat.
I also made brioche with raisins. They taste so good with coffee smileys/smile.gif

Oh Eva, my dad always put apple in his potato salad
and so do I. It's so nice to see someone else doing this. Welcome back!
Maybe I should make potato salad for tomorrow - I used to make red, white and blue potato salad for Memorial Day when the kids were small. Tomorrow we will have peri-peri chicken and bratwurst on the grill, with sweet potatoes and sweet onions cooked in foil on the coals, plus a green salad. And maybe a potato salad. smileys/smile.gif

These baked beans were the best. I don't eat red meat and these beans were so good. I followed recipe exactly .
Also ,I made ATK's Egyptian Barley Salad. This was excellent.
Also, http://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/2012/05/garlic-beer-marinade-for-grilled.html
With the chicken marinade, I used Bud Light (Yuk! I know! but it's all I had). Highly recommend using a dark ale next time.
, although fx liked the chicken=I also oven baked covered.

And here's a picture of the whole pie. Latticework was wonky but it was a decent save
I got so involved dealing with doing the latticework I forgot to add the sugar and butter, sooooo I ended up having to peel the whole top off to dump in the sugar and butter. The lattice top ended up not looking perfect but far better than expected considering. I just used the allrecipes recipe ( I need all American pie dough recipe) with the addition of a half teaspoon of tapioca, next time I might double that, but it actually isn't that runny. I added additional sauce to the plate in the last picture.
