Muenster, smoked lamb, and kale grilled cheese. Not quite a mutton, lettuce, and tomato (when the mutton is nice and lean), but close.

I smoked a small lamb leg roast today, It came in at about the time I expected, around 2 hrs at 250-300F, meat at 140F. First time I’ve smoked over live charcoal, and it went fine with my new probe thermometer. The result was good, but I think next time lamb leg belongs in the sous vide and it’s fattier cuts like lamb shoulder that should be smoked.

We like the sitting wall on our back patio, but just about every year it needs a few stones re-set. This is the first time I’ve had to fix one of the ones that make up the top of the wall. You can see that the original builders didn’t use *quite* enough mortar on this one.

We can’t have a real fire pit. Our back fence and our house are too close together, and both wood. But we can have a tiny fire in an old cake pan.

We wondered if these 3 squirrels who have been hanging out together are a family. Now we know.

We asked the lovely family who’s been shopping for us to surprise us with some veggie treat that’s not on our list, and they brought us golden beets! So I made ravioli.
The pasta came out a bit thick (done with a rolling pin; I don’t own a pasta machine) but it was plenty tasty.

This morning I pruned a branch that was overhanging our roof. Looks like I’ll be grill-smoking with maple this year.
