TGIF- it's wine and food talk for now to catch my breath before preparation work in the weekend. Hopefully I will be able to finish my prep ...and then there's another piece of academic writing to start on and then...
Anyway, the oenophiles' delight is Penfold's St Henri Claret 1989. I had a few glasses of it, courtesy of Sam and Margaret-and I have to add, "Their marriage was made in heaven"-- thus explains the worthiness of this wine for the occasion.
When Sam and Margaret, together with Judith and Mabel dropped by my place last weekend, I served them this platter but what is here are the few left-over morsels. All I cooked that evening were thankfully palatable although my banh cuon tom (Vietnamese nama-maki) was the worst that I have made so far because I chilled the shrimps in a flurry. Surprisingly the lamb seemed delightful. It's the classical fresh Rosemary with chopped mint, worcestershire, pepper, premium sea salt with an intense sprinkle of hope on air-flown Australian lamb shoulder rack. The accompanying wine was Brown Brothers Cab Sauvignon Vintage 2002. I hope the St Henri had left no lingering aftertaste on them or they would be too disappointed with my Brown Brothers.

May blessings be showered on them all both in Singapore and Ho Chi Minh city! Chuc may man va thanh cong! Hen gap lai!
P.S. I am also quite sure that this will be the only lamb that I'll have this year.
