The problem with being way behind both in my blogging life AND technology, means that I am having trouble with "Blogger". I am hoping it is just me and that I need some "reminders". Last night I couldn't "cut and paste" in a blog that I was writing. Today I can't move pictures around, but I can cut and paste (hooray!)
I just want things to be easy in my blogging life.
I loved everyone's comments about "putting up". I didn't actually get anything "put up" this fall, but I do have some pickles from my mom and sister-in-law, and some apple butter from a friend.
Speaking of friends, our Friday Nights, if we are not busy, are spent with our friends, the Miltons. So, actually, the Handyman and I are busy every Friday night. It started years ago, and has become a tradition. If neither the Miltons or us have other plans we get together for supper. Robbie and I like to try different recipes --our husbands like meat and potatoes--we are trying to broaden their lives with good food.
This is one meal, I made over the summer, and everyone loved it.
Lamb Chops (I guess the men, do have a broader palate than some, as not everyone likes lamb) with Gorganzola Butter. (not everyone likes gorganzola either)
I found this recipe at "What's Cooking America" (click on the link for the entire recipe).
What to pick up at the market:
for the chops
extra virgin olive oil ( 1/2 cup)
chopped shallots (1/4 cup)
minced garlic (2 Tblsp)
finely chopped rosemary, (4 tsp fresh)
coarse salt and coarsely ground pepper
rack of lamb cut into 8 double chops (2 1/2 pounds)
for the gorgonzola butter
butter ( 1/2 cup)
minced shallot (2 tsp)
minced garlic (1 tsp)
gorgonzola cheese (2 oz)
extra virgin olive oil (2 Tblsp)
freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 Tblsp)
The Gorgonzola butter actually becomes a sauce, that is spooned over the chops.
You grill the chops and melt the butter ingredients together and then plate them up.
Here are my pictures.... in no particular order, because I can't seem to move them around ( I also can't find spellcheck on this new blogger look....am I just going crazy? I know that I haven't blogged in a while. These changes are probably old to you)
A platter full of grilled lamb chops with the gorgonzola butter sauce
My dinner plate.
A better pic of the platter of chops
One must marinate the chops before grilling them.... (I told you, they were in no particular order. LOL )
I had also made bruschetta from tomatoes in my garden.
Cherry tomatoes. And I toasted some bread with garlic olive oil.

Well, I guess the tomatoes weren't from my garden! It was August when I made this meal.
It was a great meal tho.... I suggest you go the link to find out how to make it. It was very company worthy.
(messy kitchen---Friday night after work--trying to make a "company" meal.)
