We had a great Easter weekend. Tons of sunshine.
Saturday night we were invited to our friends for their elaborate Easter dinner. Held on the Saturday because their daughter and her … mate had to fly home on Sunday.
Harry and Marie did one of their over-the-top meals. Turkey and all, and I repeat all, the trimmings. Six people for dinner and food for twelve. I mean who cooks a 25 lb turkey for 6 people?
So for Easter Sunday, Pat and I could do our own thing. We bought a roast of Lamb. A Lamb raised south of us on the Island. I assume the lamb had a happy life because its shoulder tasted fabulous.
Problem with a lamb roast for 2 people is that leftover lamb does not make great sandwiches, so what do you do? We found a wonderful solution.
Tonight we made a Shepherd’s pie with the shredded lamb meat, carrots, parsnips, peas and celery. Of course topped with mashed potatoes from Harry’s potato farm in Saskatchewan.
Two great meals in a row. If any of you want a good Shepherd’s pie recipe let me know.
