Marlene Dietrich’s Lamb Chops en Casserole

Marlene
“I was raised almost entirely on turnips and potatoes, but I think that the turnips had more to do with the effect than the potatoes.”
Marlene was not only androgynous, but asymmetrical too!

I went to my lock up this morning with heavy heart as it always depresses me to see how much junk I have in storage. However, as Blessed was on the security desk and told me that I looked like I had “just arrived from Hollywood” I left there with a spring in my step. I think it was my 1950s sunglasses.

On my way to work I stopped off at a traditional butchers shop – he had such a magnificent display of meat in the window I couldn’t resist buying two big lamb steaks which I’ll cook for a romantic dinner a deux tonight a la Marlene.

It must be my lucky day – the man on the veg stall had turnips! And no joke about having them in his trousers either…
