Last of the local lamb - rolled shoulder if you are asking, slow cooked (65 degree C) in a chicken brick for 8 hours with garlic and herbs. Served with cauliflower, broad beans and carrots. The cauliflower came from my garden - simply steamed.

Sadly, despite marrying into a farming family, this is the last of Steve’s lamb. He used to breed pigs but that was not viable, sadly nor were the sheep.

Too warm so resorted to a salad… duck breast, orange and toasted pine nuts.

I recently got a pretty decent electric smoker, and smoked my first pork butt (i.e. Boston shoulder cut) the other day. Thanks to @Bart for his experienced advice. It is delicous.

With Mrs Pete away for few days time for a steak the way I like it, medium rare. Really enjoyed this cattlemens cutlet.

Morning Tony, here you’re either a tomato or a BBQ sauce kind of guy. I’m lucky I don’t mind either it’s more about what it goes on. Bacon and eggs has to be BBQ but a meat pie definitely needs tomato. :grin:
