Sounds interesting, although I doubt I can get my wife to try it. Maybe I
should just cook it, not say what it is and see if she will eat it. Hey, it
worked with Calamari. I jokingly suggested we should get some at a resturant
and she took me up on it. She didn't ask me what it was, so I didn't tell
her. She likes it. If she knew it was seafood, she wouldn't have tried it.

When you find your cookbooks could you please post it sometime?

This recipe would be nice also.

Of course I have to be able to find lamb. Hopefully at a reasonable price.

Uh, what's a "chicken tractor"?
