Easter Sundries: Egg-ceptional holiday eats from the Goose

Carrot sticks and chocolate eggs may fill the kids' baskets, but a little bunny told us you want meat for Easter...and we're all ears.

Terry Knudson has been raising lambs since he was 11 years old. Today, his twin boys, Conner & Hunter, along with his wife Jane work with him at Viking Lamb, their Morristown, Indiana, farm that supplies Indy's best chefs with tender, tasty, all-natural , and humanely raised lamb. Chris wrote this recipe for Roasted Leg of Lamb--rich with garlic, rosemary, and a sherry vinegar pan sauce--with Viking Lamb in mind.

"Green" Beer at the Goose!

There once was a drinker so weak
On St. Paddy's green beer she would seek
Now her friends tell her
"Go to the Goose cellar!"
She's become a proud Hoosier beer geek.

A little Irish ditty to introduce some of the crafty, Irish ales now in the Goose cellar for your St. Paddy's Day imbibing. From Dublin's first brewpub, Porterhouse Oyster Stout, Red, and Wrasslers XXXX Stout.
