Lamb stew

It turned out to be a busy day. The mid-kid had a baseball game he had to be at by 9:00, and the tween had a soccer game that was supposed to start at 11. Toddler-boy slept through most of the soccer game, so had a reasonably good nap. Back home for lunch (ravioli for kids, leftovers for grown-ups) and then almost immediately back on the road to go apple picking. It's the last weekend for our favorite pick-your-own orchard; the Pink Lady apples were ready (and yummy). We wound up picking about 50 pounds of apples, now we just have to make room for them in the fridge.

Dinner was a great lamb stew, mostly from the leftover lamb shanks from earlier in the week. All I did was to add a carrot, a potato, 1/4 pound of mushrooms scavenged from the fridge, a boullion cube, and a cup of water. Delicious! We have enough chocolate pie left for everyone for dessert, hooray! Maybe apple crisp for tomorrow?
