Ingredients:      
Roast Leg of Lamb

* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 10 x garlic cloves

2. Place the lamb, fat side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan; spread garlic paste all over lamb. Roast in oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 135° for medium rare, about 2 hours.
3. Transfer lamb to a platter, and discard string; keep warm while you make the pan sauce.
4. Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Pour wine or 1 cup water into the roasting pan. Place over medium heat, and scrape up browned bits from bottom of pan. Add stock and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until liquid has reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 10 minutes. Skim fat from surface, as needed.
5. Slice lamb just before serving. Strain sauce into a gravy boat, serve hot with lamb.

Hot cross buns stand out from other Easter delicacies for their religious flavor.
A prominent Easter icon, hot cross bun is called so because of the icing cross on the top of the bun,which reminds people of the crucifixion of Jesus. Hot cross buns were first baked in England to be servedas the traditional Good Friday breakfast. Nowadays, they are served throughout the Easter season.Like so many other Easter symbols, hot cross buns also owe their origin to ancient pagan traditions.
They are not a truly Christian tradition, even though there is a Cross on the bun.Hot cross buns are regarded by many as the outgrowth of the ancient pagan sacramental cakes eaten by Anglo-Saxons in honor of their goddess “Eastore.”Besides being culinary delights, hot cross buns are believed to be protecting people from evil spirits and having a magical power of curing. Which is why, in ancient times, people used to hang these buns on the kitchen ceilings.
