Rack of Lamb of God:

1/2 rack of lamb, approx. 7 to 8 chops
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/4 c. Dijon mustard
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped, or garlic powder
1 stick butter, melted
1 to 2 c. Catholic communion wafers


Have butcher "french" the rack of lamb for roasting. Cover ends of bones with aluminum foil to prevent charring. Sprinkle lamb with thyme, pepper and salt to taste.


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place meat in roasting pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cool to a handling temperature. Spread mustard over all meat surfaces, sprinkle with chopped garlic or garlic powder, and brush with melted butter.
Using wafers crumbed in food processor, not dried or seasoned crumbs, coat the meat well. Return to roasting pan and cook 20 minutes for medium-to-rare lamb chops. Allow to stand for five minutes before carving.

Garnish with wreath of nettle or stainless-steel barbed wire.

Gah! Not really a big fan of pork (only tastes good in Thai spring rolls)
I personally prefer beef

That may be because it might not actually be pork.

Seriously, a friend of mine used to eat at this restaurant and one day they had someone check out the meat.....turned out....nahhh, never mind, I'll leave that story for now.

Scottish Eggs are one of my favorites. They're just hard-boiled eggs which are wrapped in sausage, breaded, and deep-fried.

INGREDIENTS:
2 raw eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
2 cups fresh bread crumbs
8 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1 pound bulk country-style sausage
Vegetable oil for frying

PREPARATION:
Beat the raw eggs and mustard together in a shallow bowl. Place the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Encase each hard-cooked egg completely in a thin layer of sausage, using both hands to mold the sausage around the egg.

Dip one sausage-encased egg first in the egg mixture and then coat with the bread crumbs. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining hard-cooked eggs. Refrigerate covered at least 3 hours or overnight.

Heat 6 inches oil in a deep-fat fryer to 375 degrees F. Fry 2 or 3 eggs at a time, turning occasionally, until quite well-browned, 10 to 15 minutes. (You want to make sure the sausage meat is thoroughly cooked.) Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

I douse them heavily with Tabasco sauce, but that's just me.

Also, I admit to a fondness for deep fried, batter dipped chocolate easter eggs.

Say Sister Mary, that recipe has my mouth watering. Sister Thumper puts out a mean rabbit casserole herself....Maybe you and Sister Thumper should get together and do a little swapping. Why not drop by this Sunday after church, just the three of us. Sister Thumper enjoys having a large Dickens cider every Sunday afternoon, and I'll bet you would enjoy one too.

Then I can sit back and compare you two girls' talents with a rabbit.

Thank you for the kind invitation, Pastor Zeke. I'm flattered, and I'd love to cook you and Sister Thumper up some rabbit stew! It would make a nice change. One thing left over from my ignorant Papist days is that I still have a taste for fish and I usually fulfill that after church with some of the other single women of Freehold for a little pot luck, but I'm sure they'd understand me skipping out this week for some face time with one of our fine pastors.

You're so Right, Mother Glynndie, I could never compete for Pastor's attentions after a dish like your Bacon-wrapped Pork Roast!

So I plan to try something a little 'off the beaten path' or after it's already been beaten, one might say.....

Can anyone guess what this is?

Don't you two have some bunnies to worship instead of profaning this Godly thread with your heathen postings?

Sister GC, I was always partial to your Anti-Passover Loaf, a seasonal favorite throughout Iowa, but I've lost the recipe. Any chance you'ld post it again?

Rosa will be making some tasty Hot Cross Buns, of course . . .



She has asked me not to post the recipe, as it's her grandmother's secret recipe. All I know is, they taste great, and the next work week seem to FLY by!

Brother Larry, I'm not sure what it is myself. Looks kind of like Braised Fundament Holes, no?
