@dogmeat practice your knife skills cutting mushrooms. They are an excellent subject with enough resistance that you have to cut but not enough that you have to force the issue.
Fingertips under knuckles of the ingredient holding hand, knife against the same knuckles and away you go. -

Fingertips under knuckles of the ingredient holding hand, knife against the same knuckles and away you go.I remember when I learnt that and while gradually pulling back the fingers on a long chop, I forgot I had a thumb that was just hanging out there doing nothing until the blade caught up with it. Was a good lesson to keep it safely tucked away from then on.

@Crucial Thanks - I will try the mushrooms
I know the theory and have tried it but not persevered. Seen some fucking horrible knife accidents (and some hilarious ones too including an apprentice with a boner stuck to the hilt in his arse) which makes we a bit windy.

I didn't even know you could get a hilt for there.

you really have to enjoy food rather than it simply be re fuelling.
I think you can really enjoy food without enjoying cooking. In fact I know it to be true.

So, Friday's going to be a good night. Getting butterflied lamb in to marinate today, and will do it wrapped around eye fillet and barbequed with a turkish pilaf on the side.
Did I mention copious amounts of red wine and NEIPA as well?
Cheesecake to finish, followed by lying on the couch groaning. Can't bloody wait

I gotta ask. Around a beef eye fillet or a lamb eye fillet? I can't get into my head the need to wrap an eye fillet. Won't it overcook for the lamb to cook to right temp?

Beef eye fillet.
I was going to use Sirloin, but wound up with an eye fillet ready to go so going to use that. I'll do it low and slow with smoke, and then sear the outside after a rest at the end. Basically a fat two meat roll of tastiness - it's a family recipe from way back. The lemon lamb offsets it nicely

Well yes. I’ve seen enough fat lazy fucks to verify. Just less so the other way round.

you don't have to enjoy food to enjoy eating. Fries, crisps, burgers, chicken ...

Gotta agree, this seemed an odd one. I love my meat, but this sounds like stuffing a chicken with a lamb shoulder...
I also actually dislike butterflied lamb as a rule, it never comes out tender for me.
But I'm always keen to see photos and be proven wrong!
