Hi Jojo!! We eat lamb twice a year, so if you could post the recipe, I'll use it next time I buy some. We had lamb at Easter and again a few weeks ago, so it'll be Easter again for the next time. Ted lived in New Zealand for a while back in his single days, taught skiing at Mt. Cook, ate lamb every single day and got thoroughly sick of it, hence the rare use of it now. But the rest of us love it!

Plans today? We got up really early and finished part one of the Saturday errands, back home by 10 so Ted could watch the Tour de France finish. We're going to eat a bit of lunch, then off for part two of errands. My guys all drove up to a cousin's cottage for a family (father's side) picnic, but not Mike, as he has a friend here visiting from Auckland. Ted and I made our excuses a month ago. I just didn't want to go.

Looks like everybody will be coming over for dinner tomorrow, with the exception of Tony's family. We're taking them out for lunch on Wednesday right after Vanessa and I get matching henna designs painted on our arms. I'll see if I can post something to give you an idea of what they look like. They're very subtle and beautiful, last about 4 weeks before fading away. Anyway, they'll be leaving for Wisconsin this Friday for a month at Elkhart Lake.

Henna art

I'll post the recipe as soon as I can sit down without being interrupted and type it out.

I've always wanted to have Henna done, but we don't have any artists around here. I'd like to have some on my feet. Looks beautiful!
