Roast Chicken / Lamb Dinner

I have been craving lamb for awhile.  Now I know it's not everyone's cup of tea it's a strong tasting meat and the thought of eating they are eating also turns others off, I just try not to think about it and I just love the flavor and tenderness.  My husband on the other hand is not agreement with me and really cannot stand it so it's hard to justify a leg of lamb for myself, however I succumbed and the recent roast beef dinner just helped to tease me further.  So last night I cooked a small roast chicken with a small leg of lamb, well part of a leg.  Anyway the girls ate both chicken and lamb with no problem (yay!), my hubby was perfectly happy to indulge in the chicken and served it all up with roasted kale and boiled potatoes.  Have to say I was happy with fairly empty plates at the end of the meal plus plenty of left overs for my master plan to have a curry evening tomorrow night yum!  I am breaking out all the stops with tomorrow night's dinner but it's been so long I feel like indulging.  I will be making lamb and chicken curries, rice and aloo papdi chaat (I spent Saturday browsing the wares at a local Indian grocer).

Going to the grocery was a walk back in time for me, I had forgotten they really do get a lot of their supplies and spices from the UK which also means a veritable treasure trove of English delights that are hard to get most other places.  It has been years (like back when I lived in Jersey City) since I have frequented stores like this.  It brought back some pleasant memories and I was reminded of some great meals.  I cook with curry spices and powders on a fairly regular basis, I just happen to love the complex flavors, and I even tried some turkey curry sliders over the weekend (that btw were fantastic).  I am probably going to cheat with the curries and use premade mixes and sauces just as the meal is going to be pretty complex and I am not going to kill myself trying to make this.  I am also thinking I'm going to have enough of this meal left over to freeze for another night, yay!
