Happy 4th of July!
Roasted Leg of Lamb
Thank you to guest blogger Teresa Peterson
who appeared here before with her fab Caesar Salad, as part of the Peterson team, when her husband’s book, The Rail Car was reviewed on Foodie Lit. Now she’s solo with her Roasted Leg of Lamb for an elegant dinner, perfect for a special 4th of July celebration.
The Peterson family has always considered lamb to be celebratory fare, Teresa shared. Lamb wasn’t on the menu when she was growing up and it isn't for many families. But, when Teresa joined the Peterson family, it was immediately clear that it definitely WAS on the menu there. "I quickly realized the merits of a good lamb dinner!" Teresa said enthusiastically.

“I guess it’s complicated,“ she finally said.

Her friend John replied, “Yep. Most good stories are.”
