Nice rack, Andy.
It's difficult not to stare.
at your meat.
Nevermind.
A rare comment that was quite well done. Thanks BT!

Mine was excellent. Definitely something I will make again. I used a breast since that is what I had thawed for the Elders. I had to scale mine back and juggle things in the oven, but I liked mine and they liked theirs. We were all happy.

Beautiful looking (and sounding) dinners this evening!! 
Oh my gosh...I'm drooling.
Just a quickie dinner here this evening...taco salad and a Corona with the last wedge of leftover lime.

Ummm?
They do look delicious BTW. A definite lover of lamb here, especially chops/lollipops.

I'm a lamb lover as well. All kinds of lamb: leg, rib or loin chops, shoulder cuts, neck, even the head.
Dw will only eat American lamb since it's "less stinky".
I find it difficult to get good, meaty rib chops like Andy posted. For the price, I refuse to pay for mostly bones.

Nice catch!
Clearly, I should have said It was an Australian rack of lamb from Costco.
All those meals look and sound amazing!
I invited a couple of friends for supper to celebrate the new stove (and my birthday but I didn't tell them that LOL.
We were so busy yakking and my phone kept announcing texts - I forgot to take photo's!!
The Cornish Hens were gorgeous and delicious in the clay pot. Stuffed with a mix of wild rice and long grain rice, seasoned with orange and all sorts of spices. It was yummy. I did 2 hens, weighing approx 3 lbs total, which fit in my clay pot perfectly. Were excellent serving sizes for 4 people. They were also not difficult to cut in half and presented beautifully.
Their small size, presented as a half bird is really quite elegant - but the practical part of me said they taste no different than regular chicken and are more than twice the price.
The potato scallop starts off on the stove top and ends in the oven. I personally wasn't impressed with the end result thou everyone seemed to like them and gobbled them up. I even nibbled on them with my coffee this morning but they are not on my "do again" list.
Spicy green beans were very spicy and good (thankfully I had cut the 'spicy' in half) . Good, only will I make them again? Not sure. I think my main problem was doing those vegies without salt. the others all like them.
Being distracted with all the gossip - the potatoes heating up on the stove boiled over - sending milk around and down the stove. My new stove was officially baptized into my kitchen with boiling milk.
We also never made it into the diningroom. We ate around the kitchen table as they were too comfortable to move!
We really had a fun evening. I am also very thankful everyone made it home thru white outs of heavy fog patches on country roads. Was not the best of conditions,
