I'm Not Eating That!

So far, Project What's For Dinner has really been fun for me. I'm looking forward to planning, and cooking meals for my family again. It's been a long time since I've had this much fun, just thinking about cooking.

Since the start of this project, I knew I wanted to make lamb. Valentine's Day dinner was PWFD # 6, breast of lamb, rosemary roasted potatoes, and green beans.

When shopping for the cut of lamb to cook, I took in consideration price, and quantity of meat. We're a family of 7, and I was cooking for everyone. I bought the breast. There seemed to be more, for less money.

I didn't find a recipe, instead, I relied on my cousin, who has cooked lamb. Per her instruction, I seasoned with my regulars, season salt, a couple of garlic cloves, a little olive oil, and my new find, 7-up seasoning. Yes, 7-up, it's a mix of lemon pepper, and lime pepper. Get it, lemon-lime.

While cleaning and seasoning the breast, my 12 year old, was cringing. "Little lamb, little lamb," she kept saying. I kind of figured she wouldn't want to partake of Mary's little friend. After the kids hated the Chicken Piccata last week, and my daughter's comments, I figured I should make an extra meat, just in case.

The children had a practice, so Mr. Husband, and I had dinner alone. He at the lamb, and enjoyed it, and still doesn't have a clue that he's a test subject. And I plan on keeping him in the dark.

When the kids returned, I stood around, watching as they fixed their plates. Everyone steered clear of the lamb. I was excited about them trying something so different. "What about the lamb?" I asked.

"I'm not eating that," Almost in unison.

And none of them touched it! Minus the lamb, dinner was a success.

Rating: A resounding 1 Fork; Never cook that again, because it will not get eaten!
