Wow, am I behind posting stuff. Here it is Tuesday and I ate this last Friday. In any case, this dinner was a real departure from my usual fare. I don’t think I’ve had lamb since Passover, 2011, so that’s over a year. Since lamb is high in calories and fat, I have to really carefully plan my eating day. John grilled the chops to perfection. He cut mine off the bone so that we could weigh my portion. I did, however, get to chew on the bone afterward.

As an hors d’ouevre on Thursday night before we went out to dinner with our good friends, Karen and George, I made the Canyon Ranch asparagus guacamole. It didn’t taste like guacamole at all but it was tasty and very low cal so I decided to use it as a relish with the lamb.

This dinner was really delicious. I sometimes miss all the things I’ve given up.
