a nice piece of lamb...
 
...yum, I'm going to cook a nice roast lamb this weekend,

now, where is the best place to buy it? Spinneys seems pretty good, not too cheap but I want quality meat,

I'm in Mirdif and work in Jumeirah so that butchers at MoE is miles away really,

any ideas? or just spinneys? :confused:

yeah not too bad, I think it will be good warm up for tomorrow... Need some practice to get back to any sort of pace really!

How are the new boots, did you clean and shine them after their debut goal?

sounds good but the best soup ever (also a Jamie O recipe) is sweet potato and chorizo. Try it, it's bloody fantastic.
