ya know janie... I rarely if ever cook lamb at home, but chops or a whole rack of lamb was on the menu of almost every restaurant I ever cooked at. Sometimes we'd all split an extra or leftover rack- and at times I really miss it!

It is so expensive who can afford it these days. We used to do a small boneless leg of lamb for the hoidays and had to stop because it got so high. It went from $14-$16 for a 5 or 6 pound piece to over $20.
