Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb

Had leftover herbal bread crumbs from when i made lamb shoulder chops, so decided not to be chicken (or cheap) and go for the Rolls Royce of lamb cuts.

Last time i made this was 2005. Such a champion of a recipe, it almost felt like i couldn't fail. And indeed i was blessed with sweet success again. Now i can call the recipe "tried and true".

Patting on the crust is very zen to me. I feel nurturing. It's almost like lulling a baby to sleep - turning a beast into sheep. And something about how the ribs line up is visually satisfying to me so i take all the sweet time with the process.

I thought it was undercooked but RJ called it medium rare and "very tender".
