March is a weather predictor
Everyone has heard the
"in like a lamb/out like a lion
or
in like a lion/out like a lamb"
folklore about March
But the lion and the lamb is not the only one March is famous for --
A dry March and a wet May?
Bill barns and bays with corn and hay.
As it rains in March so it rains in June
March winds and April showers? Bring forth May flowers.
Do you believe them?
Not to tempt fate,
but hopefully, it it is "lamblike" at Linderhof
then March will come in "like a lamb"
For by the time it's March 1
we're often tired of winter.
To insure "lambness",
we often serve lamb for March 1
Some of our favorite lamb dishes --
Rack of lamb
(a splurge)
Lamb shanks
Lamb curry
(usually made from leftover leg of lamb)
Lamb chops
French lamb stew
with lemon risotto
I have a new recipe for a long slow cooked bone in leg of lamb
That I'm really wanting to try.
Perhaps that will be our March lamb!
But it will have to be a company meal
For there's too much lamb for the two of us.
At Linderhof, anyway, March will come in like a lamb!
It's Friday and I'm joining Michael at Rattlebridge Farm for Foodie Friday.

Martha, our February is ending with cold temps and strong winds, so will be interesting to see what March brings. We could use April showers. Actually we'll take the rain whatever month. It's bone dry here!
We like eating lamb here too!
I oohed and ahhed through each of these photos. If lamb is on a restaurant menu I order it because we don't have it at home. (hubby doesn't like it)
The sad part is, with all the sheep farms in Ontario, New Zealand lamb is sold at the grocer.

Your blog was one of 5 I featured this week on "Open House". Your dishes here look wonderful!
Martha,
Divine appeal to your Lamb dishes, dear friend!!!
Yes, March here on our side of the Prairie has come in quite calmly,too! I look forward to the change of Seasons, once again! One of the truest joys of living in Kansas is experiencing the Four Seasons...and sometimes...all in the same week!
Fondly,
Pat
