numb, but smelling good..

my hands smell so good after chopping up some garlic. it was a daunting task, due to the fact that i bought whole cloves which require peeling. next time, i'll just buy them minced. it was his friends birthday yesterday, so we decided to invite him over for an afternoon smoke if you will. in return, he brought us a whole lamb leg, which comes easy-he works for several groceries. but it was amazing, it cost 4,000 kronas and it weighs at least 5 pounds. it's massive, and it's in the oven right now.

so i chopped up some onions and mushrooms as well, it should be ready in about 30 minutes. the only dilemma i'm facing is that i don't have any sauce for the lamb. i looked in the cupboards and all that is available is curry sauce, or kjötbollursósa (meatball sauce). hmm, lamb with curry sauce might come off as a little exotic, maybe a new twist to lamb? but with my luck, it'll just be a strange mixture, unbeknowst to icelandic taste. we'll see how it goes.
