Rosemary & Garlic Roast lamb leg and Mediterranean Bread








来了柏斯七年, 对烧烤牛羊得很陌生,不知到要烤到什么程度才算及格。 我的家婆很擅烤肉,每次去她家里集餐,她做的烤肉都是非常棒。不是她,就我家公烤也做得很好。很自然的他的儿子(我家老公)有一点点他遗传,做起烤肉来也不色, 家里的烤肉大部分都是由我老公负责的。自从看了Master Chef目后,我渐渐对烤肉趣。 每次看到参者在判的桌前却肉的那紧张的表情,我也不仅为捏一把冷汗,怕却出来的肉是太生亦或是太熟。所以要把肉烤好,烤的温度和时间掌握是很重要的。昨晚看到冰箱里的一大只羊脚,原本要等老公来搞定的,但是心想是等我来吧!是候我我学习学习!!

上两个礼拜我家的面包机忽然发生故障,搅拌起来发出“叽叽”叫的尖叫声。我当时正在搅拌面包,就赶快把面包拿出来改用Kenwood搅拌机继续搅拌过程。隔几天,就快快去搬一台新面包机回来。因为两年前当我买第一台面包机是,我选了全场最便宜的机,因为不知到会不会只是三分钟热度,想不到结果还厉害到用道坏掉。旧的不去新的不来,很高兴能买新机哈哈,upgrade 我的面包机去比较好的。Upgrade 了机器,吐司也做得比较像样。值得啦!之前发现这家面粉店 http://www.allaboutbread.com.au/ 买了六包面包粉回来试试,面包果然很好吃。这Mediterranean面包是我吃剩的最后一包粉了,下个礼拜再去买过!!
