I have 2 large lamb shanks, thawed. I have 2 nice large
leeks. I have white button mushrooms. I have garlic. I have
onion. I have white wine. I have chicken broth. Here's the
method (not really a recipe):

It all sounds great, Jill. I've been cooking today; we get together
at my parents house. They just got back from Italy this morning (so
jealous) from a 10 day trip so I've had to coordinate most of the
meal. I'm just doing twice-baked potatoes, and broccoli with
cheese. And I did an apetizer (gawd I know that is spelled wrong)
of sausage, onions, cheese all on party rye bread. That recipe was
huge. I'll have bags of the stuff in the freezer for months.

OOOH! I make an appetizer like that! Yes, it makes a bunch. But the great
thing is you can freeze them and then just toss them in the oven when you
have company. I made those at a party once (borrowed my friends oven) and
one of the hosts was a professional chef from Peru (complete with chefs
whites) and he exclaimed, "Would you give me the recipe?" Yeah, no problem
Luiz! Somehow I wound up going home with one of his chefs coats. No, not
what you think!!

Oh, and the travel club my parents belong to have a trip to Greece
in the late summer/fall and I've decided I'm going with. I have to
figure out how to get all the kitties cared for by then.

Sounds like a wonderful trip! I'd love to go to Greece. But first I have
to go to Scotland- a salute to my heritage
