I aquired a copy of Rhulman's braising cookbook and am doing the lamb shanks for tonight. I've got the lamb shanks salted and peppered, the miropoix made, and will finish it all off later this aftrnoon after I get Amelia.

Nice looking shanks, Johnny!

I love them, but the price has gone from about 2 bucks a pound to about 5 bucks a pound, which is nuts, so I don't have them often.

Like chicken wings, now that everyone wants them, the prices have skyrocketed! I can get boneless, skinless chicken breasts for less per pound than the damned wings!

Yes, Lee, those two lamb shanks cost $13. Rhuleman even talks about that in his recipe. The nasty bits get expenive when they become popular and the TV chefs only have temeselves to blame. I can only hope they don't do that to Rocky Mountain oysters and pig ears and snouts. :yum:

My dish got put on hold till tomorrow night due to granddaughter constraints ( I ran out of braising time.) but all is prepped and ready to go for tomorrow.

Is your granddaughter a picky eater, or does she like most everything?

Bt the time I got her and stopped to do some shopping, the drive home in rush hour traffic I was frazzled. Tuna and noodles was a quick fix,

She's not too bad of an eater but sometimes gets contrary and refuses to eat. She likes meat and most veg and think carrots are her favorite.

I'll get started on the lamb in a few minutes.

I need to proof read my posts better as my grammar and punctuation is not acceptable. :ohmy:

The lamb shanks are in the oven.

Here is the miropoix.

After two hours...

Strained the veg out, made a little milk flour mix, added to the fluid and meat, then gave it another half hour while made carrots and some rice.

Oh my word! That looks spectacular!

It's 9:30 a.m., I've had breakfast, and my mouth is watering!

Nice job, and thanks for all the great pix, Johnny!
