Old Faithful Shop

So...

I currently want EVERYTHING
at the shop called...

Old Faithful Shop

 What style would you call this?

All I know is it reminds me
of the early 1900's...
and that has always been
my favorite era.

Here's a few of my
favorites...

My Week in Instagrams

Another busy week down. 

I've started up teaching again

in the Spring DTS... yea!

But that means that I have to

Study Study Study.

But I was able to take a few pictures

in-between studying...

Our chickens are getting bigger!

 Silas won't stop shedding! It's ridiculous.

Mmmm... Breakfast.

Oh, I love Spring flowers.

My first Birchbox came in the mail!

I love Birchbox. You all should join too!

Especially the herb markers.

Sunday Morning Breakfast

I woke up with high hopes of

sun and warm weather.

I was going to bake

a coffee cake for breakfast,

garden all day...

It was going to be great.

But when I woke up,

it was snowing.

Sigh.

Welcome to

Springtime in Montana.

So here is my

for a backyard ice cream party!

Smoked Lamb

I'm pretty new to this whole

eating lamb thing.

But so far

I am loving it!

Here is the amazing
smoked lamb recipe

that we devoured
this Easter.

Smoked Lamb

One 4 - 5 lb leg of lamb
8 cloves garlic
1 tbsp rosemary
1 tsp oregano
Juice from 1 lemons
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt (kosher) and freshly ground black pepper

1. Using a knife, make a series of small slits in the leg. 

2. On a cutting board, mince the garlic to make a garlic paste. Add the herbs.

3. Stuff a little bit of the paste into each of the slits. 

4. Rub the outside of the lamb with the lemon juice, then the olive oil. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight. 

5. Remove from the refrigerator and let the lamb come to room temperature. Remove the plastic wrap and season the lamb with salt and pepper. 

6. When ready to cook, start the smoker on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 400 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes. 

7.  Roast the lamb for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue to cook until the internal temperature is about 140 degrees F for medium-rare. 

8. Transfer the lamb to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
