Alberta AAA Prime Rib Roasts on sale at our local shop.
So, collected five of them and cut into steaks for future reference:

Of course one had to be tested for quality control efforts:

Stuffed Taters and fresh corn to accompany:

And yeah, these "steaks" are so huge that half of one literally covers half a dinner plate!
Melt in your mouth tender, super moist, and a very enjoyable flavor!
Yep! Another Winner! :-D
Thanks Alberta!!

Easter calls for Lamb at this Hacienda.
So, prepped a fine free range / farmed & well marbled Leg of Lamb for the occasion:

Dumped it into the roaster along with a good shot of my own garlic and a few onions, then smothered the lot with an excellent Greek marinade:

Somewhere along the way I remembered to toss in a few spuds to roast with it:

Turned out incredibly tender & juicy!

Served with a fresh garden salad with Greek Dressing and chunks of Feta, and of course an excellent Shiraz:

Happy Easter to ALL!

PS: Leftovers will have to wait a little. My Buddy dropped off 1/2 a winter spring, a baker's dozen of oysters, bag of prawns, and around 10 pounds or so of clams all fresh out of the water. Have to process some of that for the freezer, and of course subject the balance to a proper taste test...
Re: Wild game Dinners 2018/2019
Due to the kindness of one of my hunting & fishing Buddies, left over lamb simply had to wait!
Fresh out of the water spring salmon, prawns & clams!

Got 3/4's of the way into getting the lamb shanks done yesterday, and the phone rings:
Hey Buddy, come out front please...
Roger.
One of my Buddies had a whack of clams, a few crabs, and some oysters just pulled fresh from the water.
Happy Birthday he grinned!
Awesome! https://www.tnof.ca/styles/default/x...s/Pozitive.gif
Quick chat, then back inside.
Had to clean and blanch the crabs, putting the shanks off for a little longer than I really desired.
BUT, they turned out just fine!

My Birthday present was the new BarBee we collected recently, so I did not expect anything else.
But my Lady surprised me with the rotisserie designed exactly for that BarBee, and a couple new sets of merino wool socks.
Love that Gal!
Tonight we'll dive into the seafood methinks...

Re: Wild game Dinners 2018/2019
The Missuz got me a made to spec rotisserie for the new BarBee on the occasion of my celebrating another year wiser day recently.
So, it was time to install and check it out:
https://i.imgur.com/nNt9R78.jpg
Yep. Fits as if it was made for it.
Then dug one of the oversized Cornish Game Hens a Buddy raises out, prep, plug & play. Sure does a superb job!

Skin turned out nice & crispy, while the inside was very tender, juicy and flavorful!
Accompanied by a select pasta, a fresh garden salad with Avo's, and a fine Merlot:

I do believe this contraption is going to get quite the workout down the road! :D

Another workout for the rotisserie...
Took a favorite rub to a sirloin tip roast from our free range farm pig:

Spun it on the rotisserie for a spell:

Then served with Dirty Mexican Rice & Beans topped with Cheddar, a fine garden salad with Avos, and a superb Merlot:

Very crisp skin and wonderfully tender & juicy!
Knew I was going to love the new toy!

Besides, I actually need something to do suffering under my current medical lockdown (ongoing over a year now).
And I really like eating good food.
Kind of a Win Win for me...
Cheers & Thanks!
