Lamb Chops Provencale

4-6 medium potatos
2 Tbl. olive oil
2 med. onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 lamb chops (about 3.5 oz. each)
4 sprigs fresh rosemary, stripped from the stem
1/2 lb. Italian or cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 can (19 oz.) cannellini beans
Celery salt and pepper to taste
3-4 Tbl. milk.

Peel and dice potatoes. Place in a saucepan of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pan and cook gently for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onions and garlic and fry over fairly high heat until the onions are softened and well browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add chops to the pan and fry over moderately high heat for 2- minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Return half of the onion/garlic to the lamb in the pan. Add tomatoes, chicken stock and rosemary. Increase heat to high. Drain cannellini beans and add them to the pan with the celery salt and black pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes. While this is cooking drain the potatoes, mash them with the milk and stir in the remaining fried onion.garlic mixture. Season them with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with lamb chops and stew poured over the top.




Murder, Mayhem and Mexico - Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat

This book is made up of 3 individual stories. All three are short reads and other than the setting, which is Mexico, all three are completely different.

The 1st story is about the passing of Father Rodrigo and the secrets that died with him.

The 2nd is about Angelina and her escape from a kidnapper.

And the 3rd, which was my favorite, is about Nuna and her mysterious power to heal.

This was truly a great collection of short stories.
