baa baa delicious lamb

the roast of lamb i cooked this morning was a huge success.

i also made the hummus, but it disappeared before i could get a picture of it.

lunch today was a bit relaxed as most of us were finished cooking and tidying our workstations by half twelve. it was nice to be able to take our time and enjoy our lovely roasts, glazed carrots, roasted potatoes and chocolate mousse with macaroons.

i think there were sedatives in the lamb though because it was such a struggle for me to keep my eyes open in afternoon demo! i kept shifting my legs and writing in my notebook to stay alert. grace, who was sitting to my left, was struggling as well. she and i would check on each other periodically to make sure neither one of us nodded off.

today pam showed us two fresh salads (a green greek and a cabbage salad with raisins and mint), a spicy apple chutney, a watercress and a cabbage soup, greek moussaka, shepherd's pie with garlic butter, mushroom ketchup, calabrese, baked potatoes and two desserts (mangoes in lime syrup and bananas in lime syrup).

there was a CV lecture after demo today, so i hung back with a few others as i welcome any resume help/suggestions. susan was a bit scattered and unorganized in presenting her information but she made some good points and we are all going to draft up a CV and then review them next week.

she wrapped up shortly after 6 and then we were back in the pink cottage making dinner. conster accidentally set off the fire alarm while she cooked sausages and so there was a bit of chaos for ten minutes while we sorted out turning the alarm off.

charlotte and emily made chocolate mousse and almond macaroons for dessert and we are just finishing them up now. delicious!

maybe a little reading for me and then bed.
