Dinner

I'm hungry, can you tell?

I was going to walk down to the grocery store for eggs/milk/butter...and then I saw that it's still raining. I still have food in the house, I'm not hungry enough to get cold for more food yet. So I'm going to make yogurt tomorrow, or Thursday, and tonight I'm finishing up the lamb stew I started cooking on Sunday instead.

I had the lamb chunks browned in onions and garlic, so I pulled that out of the fridge, added the wine I saved from last night, and that's simmering until it's reduced by half. Then I'm going to add chicken stock I have left from a half-local meal (foreign chicken, local tomatoes) and simmer that down by half again.

Then I've got two egg yolks to which I will add a dash of lemon juice, temper, and then stir into the whole thing, hoping I don't ruin it. I'm sort of following this recipe...in spirit if not in reality, anyway. Let's hope my version is edible. It sure smells good now.
