The couple at whose wedding I officiated yesterday work for us.
My farmer offered to help with the after-match lunch today and cooked a lamb:
He’s done it several times and got the recipe right – a smallish lamb, cooked very slowly over the embers of hot burning hard wood like manuka or blue gum.
It stays moist, is very tender and tastes delicious.


I was feeling very virtuous for making a vegetarian dinner tonight. I’m now no longer interested in eating such boring food. That lamb sounds yummy!
Last nights pizza, sigh!
But some bubbles with the better 1/2.
I would call that picture cruel and unusual punishment.
Looks a promising theme for blogger’s drinks Nth Otago style.
Valentines day meal tonight here an old favorite, fish pie with Aylmers Akaroa Riesling for my love and Chardonnay for self.
