I reallymiss my Karoo lamb with its madly herby taste. Last night I felt in dire need of comforting (surrounded by friends going through awful and life-changing traumas at the moment) - so I did pan-fried boerewors with a caramelised onion gravy on a ton of mash. Everything including the towels in the bathroom now smell like boerewors... But who's complaining ;-)<br/><br/>I never knew my maternal grandmother - she died when my mom was only 8 years old. And my dad's mom never lived in the same town as us. She did teach me to play checkers though...<br/><br/>Btw, your e-mail address is not accepting my messages. Trying to send details for Saturday but keep getting bouncebacks? OMG youake that lamb sound fantastic… I reallymiss my Karoo lamb with its madly herby taste.

I never knew my maternal grandmother – she died when my mom was only 8 years old. And my dad’s mom never lived in the same town as us. She did teach me to play checkers though…

Btw, your e-mail address is not accepting my messages. Trying to send details for Saturday but keep getting bouncebacks?

Good healthy food always seems to be tangled up with family and memories, doesn't it. My grandmother and mother both always kept extensive herb gardens, so fresh herbs are a big part of my culinary repertoire. thanks Rebecca.

I love lamb and I tend to eat it in moderation during the colder months of the year. But last week a friend wanted me to cook lamb in the middle of a heat wave we were having here in Southern California. I indeed cooked it and enjoyed the heck out of it! I love your writings about your Grandmother and your mention of herbs. A wonderful post! I love lamb and I tend to eat it in moderation during the colder months of the year.
