Hoisin Lamb with Noodles

Last nights dinner was delicious even if I say so myself! LOL!!

No seriously, I tend to judge a meal on the reactions of my family so when Oliver and Alex ate 3 bowls full each and Noel was left scraping the serving dish the meal can't be to bad.... infact there was nothing left over!
