Sounds outstanding! I prepared leg of lamb this year. One problem I have is that when the lamb starts to brown and the drippings fall into the gravy pan, the kitchen starts to get smoky and we have to open some windows. I try to remember to put water in the gravy pan but it doesn't always take care of the problem. Anybody, like Paul, have any tips for me?

Hmm, I don't often do leg of lamb, but I have two ideas:
1) Put a bunch of sliced onions in the bottom of the pan; you can add them to the gravy.
2) Cook it on an outdoor grill

Impressive menu and item-coupling Paul. Most our friends/family wouldn't know what most of the stuff you served is & I don't know that any one of them has ever had lamb :) I kept the sit down part simple: Fab shrimp cocktail, Prime Rib, Idaho bakers, and charred Brussel Sprouts which I finished in Olive Oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes. No nice Port after, but the Naked Grape Cab (in the box) was a hit.

Cheers, Brad. I love prime rib! Isn't is just the cow version of rack of lamb? Do you serve it on the bone? When I was a kid, I would always ask for the bone because our German Shepard LOVED it.
I'll share a secret: the reason I started doing rack of lamb--it only takes about 25 minutes to cook. Roast for 500 degrees for ten minutes, then turn down to 350 for about 15 minutes for rosy rare. I don't even put it in until all the guests have arrived.

I didn't have any recipies this year, mom said she wanted to handle it all.
