Just to let everyone know. The Lamb was excellent. I roasted it to an
internal temp of 135F, wrapped it in aluminum foil, and then in paper.
Put it in a cardboard box and drove the 1 1/2 hours to dinner. Then we
crisped the outside by baking in a 475 oven for about 15 minutes. The
result was a nice medium pink roast and contrary to several opinions
here, no one was poisoned.
