Happy Thanksgiving, USA!

Regular readers might remember that Ken and I don't make the traditional turkey dinner to celebrate America's Thanksgiving holiday. In France, turkeys are not generally available until closer to the Christmas holiday. so we make lamb, usually a leg, sometimes with the bone in, other times boned, rolled, and tied into a roast. This year we went with a rolled shoulder roast from the butcher shop in central Saint-Aignan. And here it is, before we season it for the oven. Wish us luck! I'll be making a pumpkin pie for dessert.

Epaule d'agneau, desossé, roulé, et ficelé.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!
