sod it ... bollocks ... ahm aboot tae experiment and cook abt a 1.5kg leg orra lamb in ma boat's oven. as far as i know, this has nivver been attempted afore? it'll be lamb+roasties+broccoli. the lamb wull be stuffed wi apricot, thyme etc ...

thus is ma preparation fer ra CC in case thur's nae ither ... wull, it is a wee bit early in the season and the last time i wus up there, the Lord of the Isles chef had booggered aff. war hud broken oot between the various eateries with orra chefs doing musical chairs. hopefully, the rither sweet polish youngster hasnae gan back to her homeland ...

several volunteers fer ra eating hae been organised (next week)

if any advice regarding cooking the animal is available, i'd welcome it.

yeah ok, if this is not a wind up I am not in on..

Remember it is not a new fangled and rather more efficient fan oven.

OTOH, it is back to the good housekeeping and Beeton's cook books, you can be sure the time vs weight figures to gas mark in them will be right for the meat. Is it a thermostatically controlled oven?

hmm .. yes .. & not a wind-up ... but the heat from a boat oven is locally fierce and quite concentrated. think i can cope with that though as have heavy enough tray. time ought to be 1.5hrs. i think 2 hrs more like it .. pos even more

Di ye nae hae wan o' they Morrocan tangerines tae pit it in? (fur seeven hoors)

Make sure the lamb is dead before you cut off iys leg or RSPCA will be after you.

By my calcerlation it's still 5 weeks to the cc so the lamb will mingin by the time you offer it up to table. Anyway I thought it was going to be fish only as caught by yersel' and er others. A 15 lb mackerel should last for at least a couple of days..

Well, catching a sheep would by fairly impressive as well. I wd quite like apple with lamb, or creme fraiche if it's mackerel.

Will we be shearing or just getting our own?

that's baad, you'll get lamb basted for that!

Don't gambol on it.

I understand that LJS's middle name is Baasil on the grounds that his Dad was a shepherd

Baasil?
Ram it up yer fleece!

ewe must be joking!

Oh dear it looks like the sheep's hit the fan

Well done guys, best I've herd for a while. Oh flockit, wrong animal.
