Ted is in the kitchen roasting lamb bones and sinew, which he will shortly be turning into stock and then into a reduced au jus for the Patagonian lamb he plans to make for his birthday dinner tomorrow. I will merely be making a German chocolate cake, which is his favorite but which I fear lacks the wow factor of Patagonian lamb. :) (He says not

Thanks for linking to the recipe - I love lamb so I shall have to make that at some point; maybe the weekend if I can get some fillets. Mmmm.

Have a nice time tomorrow! :D

Moroccan sweet potatoes? Creamed potatoes? Saffron pilaf? Fried plantains (I know, like find them in Ireland)? Creamy polenta with pesto and goat cheese on top?
Braised or roasted root vegetables? Baked figs with basalmic vinegar reduction? Sauteed mushrooms with new peas added at the end?

I applaud the stock/reduction--I like to make it too, although my MiL wonders why I do it.

Nice recipe! We just had a bog standard lamb and barley stew, but it was nice.
