So, I’m slowly recovering from the #ManFlu and I thought a slowly cooked lump of lamb would be ideal.

Roast lamb rump and salad
It looks like I’ll be working every day for the foreseeable future.
Getting time to cook a roast was tricky. Fortunately, lamb doesn’t need to be cooked for a long time in the oven.
Leftover lamb with corn and peas in cheese gravy
Another busy day and on the way home I got a call from work to check something out. It meant my plan for takeaway was thwarted because once I’m home I don’t want to go out again.
I had the last of the lamb in the refrigerator from the weekend roast lamb shoulder. I looked in the freezer and saw some corn cobs and peas.

I had a really full day today and all I could manage was to make a really basic salad and add some lamb to it.
It tasted great but there’s nothing special here.

I was cooking dinner and received a telephone call from work.
I couldn’t not answer and the call came through after I had added some mushrooms and spring onions to a hot frypan. I could barely hear the caller so I couldn’t attend to a noisy frypan and induction hob while on the telephone.
The result was a burnt dinner. I did manage to fix it a little. It tasted okay.

On Saturday and Sunday I cooked quite a lot of mammalian meat in the form a bone in rib steak and a rolled lamb shoulder.
The great thing about weekend cooking is the leftover meat which can be used cold from the refrigerator as a source of protein for lunch.
If you’re eschewing excessive carbohydrates in the form of bread, noodles, pasta, and rice; then a little bit of meat is a good way to keep hunger at bay.

- Drizzle some truffle honey over the meat and cheese and dates.
- Roll up and eat.
Public Holiday
Today is a public holiday and I’m working from home. The modern availability of broadband Internet is great. I can participate in international teleconferences and do other work without having to be in the office (and wear shoes).
It’s Monday so there will be salmon for tea while for breakfast I splurged and had two steamed eggs rather than one with my wilted spinach and melted cheese.
Gee, I love my steamed eggs and wilted spinach.
