Feed The Man Meat

As you may well know by now after reading our blog it doesn't take much to make us happy.
And what else would be better than a Lamb Roast. (Tom Cruise to share it with?)
On our recent trip to Dubai we managed to smuggle back 8.5 kilo's of meat. Now I'm not usually one to break the law but desperation makes one do crazy things.
Once we saw all the meat available for purchase in Dubai there was no way I was leaving that country without any. We managed to bring 2 NZ Lamb Roasts, 2 kilos of Australian mince steak, 3 kilos of Australian Sirloin Steak and some Brazilian Steak that is pretty good. 3 tubs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese also found its way back and another 20 kilos of general groceries. Lots of lollies. Like I said desperate measures.......LOL
So tonight we sat down to the BEST Lamb Roast in history, none of us spoke, we just sat, ate and were in heaven. We had put the boys to bed early as they had a late night last night and couldn't sit up any later. So they had baked beans and we got to eat their share too. (we did save them some for tomorrow)
I even managed to achieve the impossible in my tiny oven and cook roast baby potatoes and cauliflower and cheese sauce. Andrew was drooling.
I had planned a Pav for dessert but I ran out of time. Next time perhaps?

Mmmm...meat! (Said in my best Homer Simpson voice!)
To think you needed two ovens at Thomas Rd and now you get by with a conventional oven!
From my observations on recent photos, I think Madame Megan is shrinking. Good on you Megs. What you look like you've lost i've found over the festive season! Why is it so hard?
I guess it's roast lamb sandwiches tomorrow is you can get you hands on some crusty fresh bread!

Hi Megs, have just caught up again and what an amazing experience India has been for you all. Looks like your treadmill is paying off too! The slide shows are brilliant and I wouldn't expect any less from the very clever and creative Megan! Very sad news about Suresh. His children are stunning and it breaks my heart to know of any child who has to live without their dad. Hope this year is happy and positive and full of more great adventures.
