Amy Lowell Slept Here (continued)

Last month we learned a bit about the poet Amy Lowell and read some of her diary entries about staying across the way from the Dabney's Fayal Ranch. This month I'll continue to quote from a letter from Mrs. Raymond Emerson written in April 1971 from Concord Massachusetts.

"Our life was busy but cheerful and serene, just the life for a 12 year old child. I looked after the poultry and rode about the ranch. As you know the only vestige remaining is the old, wide wooden barn, which was one of my especial haunts

Roast Lamb: Lamb should be eaten as soon as it cools after it is slaughtered. The juices and flavor will be infinitely superior to that of lamb that has been killed two or three days. Add a little salt ad place the lamb at a sufficient distance from the fire to prevent the fat from burning. Baste constantly till the moment of serving. Lamb should be thoroughly done without beng dried up, with not the slightest appearance of red gravy visible.
