    Nice Doc!  Lamb is one food the rest of the fam wont eat, so I would have to eat all five myself. Which I would have no problem doing!


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    Looks very solid Doc!! I am thinking about a chimichurri lamb pops this weekend. Is 130 the desired temp to pull?

    130 is to the rare side, but they gain temp resting.  Med rare is 135.  They are small and go from underdone to well done in the blink of an eye.

    Try smearing your chops with peanut butter and let them marinate for several hours.  I learned this one from an Lebanese friend of mine and it is awesome.  You cannot taste the peanut butter and the flavor is amazing.

    Simple ingredients, amazing results!

    Looks great!  Lamb is one of those meats that I try to cook no more than a medium rare.  Looks like you did a good job.  I also agree that they do get 'well done in the blink of an eye.'  Not nearly as good when overdone.
