I think I have a new Sunday ritual*. I’m becoming addicted to slowly roasting a shoulder of lamb each Sunday. The roasting meat fills my apartment with a gorgeous rich meaty aroma and my hunger builds with the smells.

Earlier in the day I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra and shot a few photographs. I like how the wikipedia entry makes mention that water rats form part of the lake’s rich wildlife.
For lunch I made a salmon and avocado lettuce wrap which I spiced up with a jalapeño pepper.
How do you like to cook shoulder of lamb?
*The current Sunday ritual is ironing my shirts and watching an episode of Star Trek.
Ps don’t know why it said I posted that theme, lol! Something glitched!
Lamb, Star Trek and ironing shirts, a winning combo! The smell of something slow cooking on a cold Sunday is delightful. Nice one.
I agree. Perfect Sunday at home 🙂
