Braised-Lamb-Shoulder

“Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need – a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing.” ~ Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

Contentment is one of the rarest possessions in our modern era.  To be satisfied, to have enough is hardly ever heard of.  Maybe it is because television and the internet bring into our lives the lives of the wealthiest people.  “Comparison is the thief of joy,” said Teddy Roosevelt.  I couldn’t agree more.  Once you put off looking at other people’s lives and concentrate on enjoying your own life, everything becomes much simpler and more satisfying.  Once you realize that happiness is generated from within, the eye focuses less on possessions to be had than on days to be lived.  Few things are necessary for happiness.

Braised Lamb Shoulder Chops is a recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook.  It’s a hearty dish that goes well with mash potatoes or white rice.  Have some good crusty bread on hand to soak up the rich flavorful sauce.

    Made this last night. Cut the tomato paste to about 1/3 cup, bumped the garlic to about 7-8 cloves and added a pinch of Spanish smokey pimenton. Served over a bed of farro, and brocollette on the side. With a nice grenache, a phenomenal repast.
    Thanks!
