The burgundy-pepper lamb from Trader Joe's was VERY tasty,
although my timing was off in spite of the use of an instant-read
thermometer. The accompanying roast potatoes were pretty
standard, as were the petite peas. The strawberry pie would have
been better in its normal plain shell, but that is a useful lesson
as long as I annotate the recipe. Daughter didn't complain, so it
must not have been too wretched.

I think the lamb will lend itself very well to my favorite
leftover lamb preparation.
