Yep, I'm making leg of lamb for me and my brother Tom. Will make something
else for dh who doesn't care for lamb, but haven't decided what yet. Maybe a
Costco rotisserie chicken purchased the day before. :-) Will make a nice
salad and lots of asparagus to go with it. Strawberries for me and
shortcake with the strawberries for them. My brother is bringing a jug of
homemade Kahlua so I will have a small drink of that with him, and maybe
even a tomato beer. The kids won't be here this year, so maybe I'll have
two...or not.
