What do you do when you get handed free Yukon potatoes and lamb shoulder shank? You buy a bottle of red wine and spend three hours braising.

I used a recipe from Allrecipes and would not recommend it. It lacked the depth and color this should have had. Still good but definitely would have failed in a cooking school.

Cost per person: $2, mostly cheap wine and onion, a little for homemade beef stock I canned a while back. Can you order it anywhere? Yes Cost per person if you paid for everything: $17

You built a mashed potato grave.

I think you have a chunk error in your mashed potatoes

Helps me find caves

I have those same plates. I hate them!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I like square plates because you get more surface area for less storage space. But I usually use smaller plates because most meals aren't this big.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

My issue is I can't microwave well with them 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I use smaller plates for that.

Not to be a jerk, but the presentation, uh, is lacking.

At least you're honest with yourself.

It I was to make a plate of this, I'd be using the lamb and it's sauce as gravy for the potatoes. 🤤

Is that a jug of 漢水 in the background? I can't read the character above water well enough.

蒸餾白醋 You are mistaking the Walmart starburst for Chinese. Though don't lack did Asian labels here.

Where are you getting free lamb shanks?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Local food bank type thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

My food bank just gave me Big Daddy's Beef Stick

Now with 51 percent beef!

I do not recommend Big Daddy's Meat Products. Made for institutions.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Potatoes look very good. The onion gravy doesn’t look too bad. Lamb is tough to get it just right. Looks like a pretty good supper to me. Glad you shared

When 'having a lamb shank' isn't rhyming slang for once.
