That thermometer is my favorite kitchen gadget. Called the MEATER. It’s worth every penny of the $70, perfection every time. And yes I got the rack at Costco. I want to get several more but they don’t always have it. Asparagus came from Kroger. I agree the fat ones are so much better. Tossed some Penzeys Chicago steak seasoning on them and grilled in the lamb juice. We use those grill sheets and I must say they are a favorite household item now.
I am craving duck now. Need to see if I can acquire from Costco or Whole Foods.
Tell me why the MEATER is worth the $$$. As far as I can tell it's big feature is that it is wireless which is nice but I don't have a problem with my probe with wire attached. It looks cool though.
I think this time of year you will find the lamb racks often at Costco. And Costco does have frozen duck...mine did a few weeks ago.
Gnawing on the bones---I can't eat lamb chops around my brother-in-law because he won't pick them up and eat all the meat on there!! It makes me crazy...he will cut off with a knife and fork and eat and there is tons of really good meat on those little suckers. Now I really want some lamb chops even though I just had them last week (sans asparagus which I still can't find that is decent--normally I would go to 5 different stores but not now) but they are quite the delicacy.
