lamb lollipops w/ homemade yogurt dill sauce


one thing i can say with an adequate amount of certainty is this: lamb damn near tops my list of favorite meats.  i mean, yes, they're cute and everything, but if i have my choice of a perfectly prepared lamb burger versus a delicious grass-fed beef burger (and don't get me wrong, i love me some beef too), i will 95% of the time pick the little wooly creature.
sorry lamb lovers!  actually no, i'm not sorry...like at all.  

so because there were both lamb and beef in the fridge, you guessed it, i chose to prepare the lamb this evening, and my babe bbq'd it perfectly.  i whipped up a yogurt sauce which is similar to tzatziki sauce, roasted some curried cauliflower and threw together a curry ketchup for dipping.  but the pic of the roasted veggies didn't quite come out right, hence, that's why you don't see it.  just thought i'd mention it though, since there's just something about cauliflower, curry spice and lamb that all goes so heavenly together.
