You must have sold your sense of sarcasm for your sense of taste. What kind of dippin' sauce do you serve with that? Honey mustard or nacho cheese. ;)

Actually, Honey Mustard isn't that far off.
Dijon and browned shallots in butter with a little white wine and rosemary.

All you need is a Coors Light in a frozen mug and that table setting is complete!
(I can't plate worth a damn either. Unlike you, I'm too lazy to work on it :D Nice job!)

Was it a plating sauce or was the sauce poured over the lamb as well?
Looks damn good. Give me a nice big glass of Syrah and I'm golden. :drool:

for the record, i identified it as a capybara - a large rodent native to much of South America.
n8 was the one who called it a chupacabra.

I do it almost every time i grill anything - it's so easy and women love me for it!
Sprinkle some EVOO, some kosher salt and some fresh ground pepper. Grill until some color develops, then get it off the heat.

Good eye!

And I see some fresh Rosemary in there too? I have a good eye too. Do I get a chop for that? :drool:
Nothing beats those chops. I get a rack once in a while here too and cook 'em up with a little bit of rosemary. Mmmmm
Great looking presentation. Yes you're right on the photography though. Next time use a white bounce card behind the food out of the shot to bounce the flash back down on the food to back light it. You can even use a cheap shop lamp to hold a light from behind over it.
Still looks good though. I'm stuck with Italian Sausage tonight with peppers and onions.

Yeah, bounce card or soft flash box is next, no doubt. Fact was, i was busy getting a dame out of her 'safety knicks' that i didn't pause for the better setup.
Hey, draw your priorities in the sand, and all will fall from that...
