lamb loin chops... I have had them on layby...
Yeah Lamb is bloody expensive!

I remember years ago we would buy a side of lamb off our butcher and freeze it !
Back when I was first married (40 years ago)

We had very little money.
New family, one small income.

So we used to go to the meat auctions at Berken head point every saturday.

We used to by cheap cuts at 1/2 the price in butcher's.

But our favorite were the lamb shank.
Seen, in them days as off-cut or dog meat, they were as cheap as.

3 for 50 cents.

The missus cooked them up a treat and they were wonderful.

Now these damn things are almost as expensive as any meat.

No more 3 for 50 cents

It's more like $5.00 a shank.

Meatloaf.
Not ever......never.

The new bride made me a meatloaf dinner early in the marriage,

I told her it was crap and not to make it ever again.
I hate meatloaf, always have and always will.

But as she was a country lass, she started cooking real food and I started putting on weight.

She can do amazing things with the barest of ingredients.

I can also cook, but not as well as her

Tonight is lamb's fry and bacon, one of my favorites.

I love stews and soups, my absolute favorite is pea and ham soup.
She does the best pea and ham soup.

Now I'm hungry
I'll get onto her to make a pea and ham next week.
Takes a couple of days to prepare and the second day is best, just like most stews and soups.

I won't order meatloaf in a restaurant. It's usually meat mush with ketchup on top. Mrs Texan makes it moist and covered with stewed tomatoes and onion.

I'm up at 0400, smoking my 1st brisket. I hope I don't screw it up. I plan on cooking it for 12 hours. I started it last night. Mrs. Texan bought an offset smoker from a friend for $50. It's an Oklahoma Joe's. It looks like this. My parents will also be my guinea pigs.

I've never tried smoking but I know a lot of people who do and it's awesome. It sounds like it will be tasty and very tender.

Aussies don't seem to do it so much and that's a shame.

OMG I had the nicest steak tonight. Usually I just put a little butter and salt on it but tonight I used a steak seasoning that my son left here and it was awesome! Highly recommended.
