Rack of Lamb Dinner

Last night we hosted dinner for one of my childhood friends and her husband. We greeted them at the door with French 75s and the smell of the lamb coming out of the oven. We served rack of lamb, carrots, Scalloped potatoes, salad, and home french bread. Natalia brought a homemade Italian crostata. We drank the night away and went to bed at 1 am.
