Pain in the neck!

I felt rotten this morning and decided to take the day off. I've kept myself busy looking for jobs (without much success) and had a good rest. I've just made a big pan of lamb tikka massala and it's bubbling away on the Rayburn. It it's a success I may try and make a mutton tikka massala with some of the superb mutton that we've got at the farm. In fact I feel a lot better now and I think I'm going to give ironing a try. Wish me luck ;@)

I ended up making a Mutton Stew with potatoes, carrots and onions. It was absolutely fantastic. It's the first time I've ever cooked with mutton and I was so impressed with everything...taste, tenderness, texture mmmmm

Mmmm. I've never cooked with mutton either. Elderly lamb, yes, but not mutton. I love a nice stew, though. What did you use for seasonings?

Very little - just some mixed herbs, bay leaves, salt, pepper and a tiny ammount of mint. The meat had such a good flavour that it didn't need it.
