Iron Chef
Theme ingredient: lamb!

With the topic of lamb having come up several times over the weekend (notably, Pocahontas' favorite food item from her trip to China was a lamb skewer), I figured I would post about last week's lamb extravaganza when I had some friends come over for dinner on Thursday night. I am a big fan of lamb (and was in possession of a sizable slab of it after a Grocery Spree). Here is what we had:

Entrees:
baked lamb chops with sauteed mushrooms
rosemary/garlic glazed lamb chops
chinese-style lamb curry

Sides:
broccoli/cauliflower in a tuscan herb sauce
sour cream and chives mashed potatoes
brown rice

Dessert:
tiramisu (courtesy of Shelley/Allen)

All in all, it took about 2 hours for me to prepare the meal. The difficulty in the situation was the fact that I only have 2 pieces of cookware: a 1-quart saucepan and a 12" wok. But I think the food ended up tasting pretty good. My favorite was the baked lamb chops.. the breading on them was quite tasty. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food. In its stead, here's a token picture featuring a lamb:



During dinner, we talked a bit about various comedians. So afterwards, we humored ourselves by watching stand-up routines of Mitch Hedberg and Russell Peters.
