When my wife does a lamb roast, the marinade is a mix of olive oil, lemon juice, crushed garlic and crushed onion.

But I have an open mind and I would try lamb with mint jelly.
Speaking of olive oil, when’s the next delivery?
Mostly I use mint to make an ancient Persian summer drink called Sekanjabin.
It is basically a sweet and sour simple syrup with mint.
Prep Time: abt 5 mins Cook Time: abt 40 mins
Ingredients:: 4 c water, 4 c honey, 1 c apple cider vinegar, 1 large bunch fresh mint
Instructions: Stir honey and water together in a saucepan. Turn heat to medium and slowly simmer while stirring until the honey is completely dissolved. Stir in the vinegar, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 20 minutes, stir every few minutes. Remove from heat. Submerge mint in hot syrup and cool to room temperature. Remove and discard mint. Package in a Mason jar and chill in the refrigerator.
Use: 1/2 c syrup stirred into 2 c cold water
I also like to make a Colonial era drink called Switchel.
Here's my version: Into 1 gallon water stir 2 c maple syrup, 1/2 c apple cider vinegar and 1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger

Not something we'll do every week, but will definitely be in the lineup for special meals.

Nice Prch. Hope you noticed the moon on the way out.

Boomerangs is in our rotation- have never had a bad meal there.
There was a moon?
You're hopeless.There was a moon?
Apparently she doesn't think so!You're hopeless.
The first press of the season is in November. I'll keep ya posted.
Touche!Apparently she doesn't think so!
Been a while in the making and I'm very happy for you, well-deserved Prch.Apparently she doesn't think so!
Why yes, LOTS of touche, but no feely just yet. We've been friends for over 40 years, it's going to take a while to make that transition, but at our age that's not the ultimate goal, just an added benefit.Touche!
Sometimes I think it's better that way when you get older. I've been steadily dating a local guy for nearly a year now. He was newly divorced and just looking for someone to talk to and run around with and I really can't just go live with someone because of Joey. We live five minutes away from each other. He's an amazing companion and my best friend and the benefit thing. Only we both found out we cared about each other so....that's weird at our age. I like it. Good friends in the beginning is always best.Why yes, LOTS of touche, but no feely just yet.
