I've resisted the temptation to make another batch of crumpets this afternoon because as much as I really like them, they're a bit convenient to have lying around and they don't exactly encourage a healthy eating regime - well not by the time I've drowned them in butter & marmite.
This weekend's inspiration for kitchen tomfoolery came from Delcatto's post today which in turn was inspired by another superb barbie that John & Faith laid on for a few of us last night. He asks us about our favourite sausages which reminded me of some delicious lamb & rosemary sausages I had a few years ago.
My first thought was "must look out for some next time I'm food shopping" shortly followed by "I've already got lamb in the freezer & rosemary in the cupboard - how difficult can it be?"
My kitchen gadgets and food supplies, despite becoming increasingly diverse, don't yet run to fresh intestine or artificial casings let alone a sausage machine but I thought it would be fun to improvise.
So I whizzed together some lamb, rosemary, bread, garlic, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, wrapped & shaped it in clingfilm then left them in the fridge for 90 minutes to set.
The result? Well I had lamb & rosemary sausages, minted mash, peas & gravy for dinner and was too busy enjoying it to take a decent photo...

Mmmm...lamb and rosemary snorkers.
It sounds delish...
Oh, and Morning!
Yummy. I've got a proper sausage maker. Bought it for an ex who used it a few times and then eventually gave it back to me. It's very useful as a door prop.
At least I'm beginning to learn why I'll never become a chef. Rather like the crumpet exercise, it's fun "just to see if you can" but beyond that, it's a damned sight easier to nip out to the supermarket!
