Camera Cleanup #10: Souvlaki Leg of Lamb

Hey! Look, I'm posting food! It's even on a holiday, although as a bachelor with no prospects for lovin' I'm rather gleefully ignoring this particular one. I'm planning on spending the whole day on the couch not worrying about what anybody other than the real Bob and I want. And his needs are pretty simple, especially compared to the women I've dated. So, anyway I am posting food albeit no recipe. Plus it's lamb and I know that's not the most popular of meats. But I have pictures of it, it was awesome and they're going up. Dammit.

So what this is is a butterflied leg of lamb that I "stuffed" with souvlaki marinade. I also rubbed it with it, since really, can you have enough souvlaki flavor? I need to write down my recipe for it someday, it's pretty much finalized. That aside, after the rubbins I then tied it up and browned it in a oven safe pan. Then, obviously, I roasted it. Cut off pieces and ate them. It was fantastic. Oh, this was also the lamb that I made that lamb pilaf with. Almost forgot about that. This is a multipurpose roast, don't you love it? Maybe it will be my valentine. Except that it's long gone... ah well.

And to finish off this post, here is my niece Lucy encouraging you all to Rock!

Lemon Chocolate Chip Muffins

I figured I should post something other than pizza before people started wondering if that's all I eat. Heh.I eat other things! Like muffins. This is actually just a gentle adaptation of this recipe from Smitten Kitchen, all I did was swap out the blueberries for chocolate chips and double the lemon zest. Next time I'm going to triple it though, get some more lemon flavor up in here. And since I'm feeling lazy I'm not even going to rewrite the recipe. My girlfriend asked for this flavor combo specifically, she loves lemon and chocolate. Well, I do too, it's a good time. And these muffins came out awesome, they get a wicked good texture and dome nicely. I should have filled the tins a bit more, but that's not the recipes fault. Heh. The only change I would make, like I said, is to add more lemon.Maybe a chocolate drizzle on top.

Lemon and chocolate is a bit of a divisive issue with some people, what do you kids think?
