Thanks to my good friend Billy, we cranked out a superbly done mechoui
this year...! We keep refining our technique, much to the delight of our friends.

Of course, the eyes are on the guests of honor -- and the eyes
also get INTO the guests of honor. So here's the first eye.
|

And here's the other eye... Little hard to swallow if you're
a vegetarian, but my guest was a real good sport!
|

This is the "before" view... The lamb is evenly
browned, the skin is crispy, the meat tender and juicy, yet with not a shade of pink... Just right! There's no
"after" picture, because while I was distracted, some of my so-called friends filched what was left of the carcass...
Oh well, maybe next year...!

This is what the skin should look like...! It took over
2 lbs of butter and a few hours of basting to achieve that result. It took less than one minute for ALL the skin to disappear
into hungry mouths...!
