1 1/2 tsp. dried whole marjoram
1 1/2 tsp. dried whole oregano

1 1/2 tsp. water

Sprinkle flour into an oven cooking bag, and add lamb to bag. Seal bag, and place in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan; cut 6 (1/2 inch) slits in top of cooking bag. Insert meat thermometer into the thickest part of lamb through a slit in bag, making sure thermometer does not touch bone.
