The Am in Lamb Chops
"I don’t agree with killing little baby animals, but this sure is delicious!” spouted my son after tasting my lamb chops.

Great story, Joe! This post brings back memories!!! Many eons ago, I made a delicious dinner which included a leg of lamb. Among my guests were two young ladies, (friends of my sons) who gasped and voiced their objections to eating a defenseless, pretty, little lamb. They droned on and on about the attributes of the little lamb with fleece as white as snow. (Or was that feet as white as snow?) I never could get that line right! Well, anyway, I told them, “not to worry, I picked out the ugliest little lamb in the world; there was nothing pretty about this lamb, not even its mother wanted it!” But, this did not allay their aversion to consuming Mary’s little lamb of nursery rhyme fame.
Et,
Mary had a litle lamb but only until she got hungry.
I also have a story but about a deer. My mom was working and I had gotten home from high school and I was starving. I saw six "LITTLE" pork chops in the fridge. I breaded them, fried them and they were the best pork chops I had ever eaten. I called my mom at work and told her how good they were and she was quiet for a minute. She asked me if I ate all of them and I said yes they were really little and I was hungry. She told me I had eaten Bambi and I almost died. They were given to my mom because she had never tasted deer meat and wanted to try it. Until the day mom died she never got to taste deer meat.
Catherine Mary,
Oh deer! great commentary. You and Et should start your own blogs. lol.
I was actually thinking the same thing. I would start a blog but don't know how and who would come to it anyway. Only family and friends I guess. EM should start a blog. She has a lot to say.
Joe, I just realized, life is my blog. Love ya
catherine mary,
blog. blog. blog. lol
I will gladly come to see Catherine Mary's blog should she decide to start one.
Don't be a chicken (or a deer for that matter) ... it's not so hard to do and there are lots of people around to help you out in setting it up. Just ask Joe ... he'll be more than happy to help you. Right Joe?
:)
I don't eat lamb, but I totally misunderstood when my mom sang that tune to me in grade school.
MOM: Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb ...
Haglette: That's what she got for sleeping in the barn!
Weary Hag, LOL
Hag,
Actually, I struggled mightily setting up this blog.
The sound delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
