My Week in Instagrams

Oh it feels so good

to be back blogging again. 

Not to be so busy

that I can't do the things

that I love to do.

Here is a bit from my week...

via Instagrams.

Silas...being Silas.

Turning our old shed into a chicken coup.

Spring is here!

We were craving Pasta this week.

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.

Dining

I'm on the hunt for a new dining table.

But not just any dining table...

I'm on the hunt for a dining table

that Micah can make for me.

I'm thinking of something rustic like this...

Love this!

Until then,

Easter Celebration!

Oh and the food!

We cooked Smoked Lamb,

Scalloped Potatoes and Leeks,

Apologies... & My Week in Instagrams.

So, you know when life gets so busy

that you don't have time to blog?...

Or Instagram...

Or Tweet...

Or Tumblr...

Or Pinterest...

You basically fall off the face of the earth

know as social media?

Well, welcome to my last week!

I was so busy with helping host 20 people

who came to our campus to volunteer for a week

(they were so wonderful to use their vacation time

to do some construction work for our campus here at YWAM)...

and on top of that it was

Good Friday yesterday,

which meant I threw a huge

Good Friday Service

and Brunch for the campus.

Such a fun week...

but so busy and stressful

that I literally did not

get on my computer once. 

But here are the few instagrams

that I was able to take...

The Boiler Room 

(my favorite Montana Coffee Shop)

More jewelry for sale!

(All proceeds go towards raising money for our adoption).

First Brisket of the year!

The Tamarack Brewing Co.

Miss Jon & Danielle already.

 

Can never have enough coffee.

Made 100's of Cinnamon Rolls
for the volunteers this week.

It's the season for outside Auctions!

Micah's treasures that he found at the auction.

Getting to spend some time
