Easter Day 2023

 Roasted Leg of Lamb, with roasted Carrots, Mushrooms and Parsnips.

The Lamb was a bit more well done than I prefer ( I used the Air Fryer and got the timing a bit wrong ) nevertheless the meat was still moist.

It's hard to make gravy when cooking in an Air Fryer.  I could have made some in a saucepan with "Bisto" gravy granules but it might have overwhelmed all the other flavours.

Of course I used Mint Sauce ( I hate Mint Jelly with a passion!)

Colman's is well known for Mustard in the U.K.  Their Mint Sauce is fine, though it is the Mint which is grown in Norfolk not the Sauce itself!

I bought a bottle of Claret (the 19th Century U.K. Generic for any and all Bordeaux Red Wines).  I was eating at 2:00 p.m. so I didn't open the wine since I would be driving Zion to his park walks later in the day.

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
