Lamb....

We usually have ham, because we raise pigs, so we always have ham in the freezer that I haven't cooked unless we have company. It's pointless to cook a ham for two of us, LOL, so it waits for family dinners. I'd rather have turkey, but everyone else would rather have ham. Elery is the only person in my entire family that will eat lamb, the rest of us despise it, right down (or up?) to my 80 year old mother. And none of us, not even Elery, will eat Spam, so that's out of the question.

Lamb is traditional here, but I love a good BBQ if the weather's nice enough. It won't be this year - it's so cold!

Spam....once in a while DH & I have a chuckle when we reminisce about our newlywed years. He was completing his degree & working nights and my small salary covered the basics.

Occasionally, for our Sunday dinner I would roast Spam like you would a ham - complete with carefully placed cloves and pineapple rings. With mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus.... MmmMmm We were in heaven ;)

It's been years since I had Spam. I had a chunk at an even sponsored by Spam, and remember thinking that I don't know if I had ever liked it, but don't now!

Growing up, we were treated to Taylor Pork Roll, and that I still like and am tempted to buy at the store, but one look at the fat and calorie content keeps me reaching for Canadian bacon instead.

We're actually grilling lamb chops tonight-Costco had some nice looking specimens at a good price. Rare treat.

Leg of lamb on the bbq rotis. Weather looks good, not that snow has ever stopped me. Just need to decide on the rub and some sides. Usually fresh rosemary yogurt mustard garlic smeared all inside before tying. Stop the rotis and steal crispy sliced bits all day. Dipped in a cucumber yogurt garlic cream...lots of horseradish.

Just used up the last precious packet of ham from NewYears. So good i may have to make both ham and lamb.

Sounds heavenly. Very My Big Fat Greek Wedding!

The L.A. County Fair has a Spam cooking contest every year, but I have not been to it. Lately, I've bought turkey Spam and like it. It is common in Hawaii to be served with rice and eggs for breakfast. Since it is salty, I have to serve it with something that needs salt - like rice and eggs. Maybe I'll make that for Easter. I do not particularly like lamb - I prefer goat.

I didn't even know they made turkey Spam. My salty breakfast treat is creamed chipped beef, and even then, I only buy the lower sodium. Oh, I do add soy sauce to it, so there goes that!

I would love to have lamb. Husband doesn't care for it. He would jump for joy over Spam though! LOL

We're having ribeyes and bakers for Easter. On the grill, weather permitting.

angelaid-sounds fanstastic.

Well, we're going camping so this year it will be something out of a tin in the evening and lunch out somewhere nice, I hope!

I would love the lamb but Dad is not found of it. He would eat it on Sunday but I would be stuck with any leftovers, so I made his favorite, beef Rouladen and spaetzle with red cabbage. Since the day is to be rainy and very cool, it's perfect.

And he would love the Spam too!

Not that we celebrate, but any excuse to cook lamb is okay with me. I used to modify the 22-1/2" Weber kettle to hold a rotisserie. Nothing like spinning a boneless leg of jerk lamb.

Making my spice rub tonight for the lamb...

DH stopped and picked up some sides....so purple.
