Tonight was one of those nights. I had to teach until 8 and the BF got off work late, so naturally we headed to our favorite bar. Sometimes we eat there, sometimes not. In this instance, we just had drinks and picked up Chinese food on the way home.
I had chicken and broccoli while he had shrimp and broccoli. We shared dumplings. As this was not our usual spot (we ordered from a late night place near the bar-- God bless 'em), we tried something different in the form of “Chinese Donuts” which were reminiscent of what I would snag at a local Chinese buffet as a child— literally a trip down memory lane. It was $2 for an order and they gave us 10!!! Of course we did not come close to finishing. While I’m not a breakfast person, I may sneak one in with tomorrow’s morning coffee!
No pics of dinner but I did take pics of the “donuts”!

Caviar lentils with smoked Portuguese-style sausage. Sauteed fresh fennel, shallots, carrots and radishes, added in sausage, deglazed with dry vermouth, added fresh thyme, let that simmer down a little. Mixed in lightly salted lentils, and made a dijon (with garlic and shallots) vinaigrette for the romaine lettuce underneath. Sliced HBE and half an avo, feta, more shallots, and parsley to finish. Parsley butter potatoes on the side - I always forget how delicious and homey that simple prep is. But, oh la la, the lentils and sausage! an old favorite with a few twists.

Too soon for another Greek Night? I feel like we do this once a month. We started out with warmed olives and almonds, pita bread, seasoned olive oil, and Trader Joe’s stuffed grape leaves.
Main course was pastitsio, from my mom’s recipe from the 1980’s that was published in the Staten Island Advance. While it tasted great, I left it in the oven a bit too long. The bechamel coating was crispy rather than fluffy 
. I topped it with shaved Asiago-- not traditional but had it on hand.
To drink, I had a chilled Ouzo, served in a tall glass packed with ice.

Hey, it’s my first What’s for Dinner contribution and I’m here with a crummy photo of mine:
Martha Rose Schulman’s recipe for pureed zucchini soup with curry and a fennel/blood orange salad with parsley, mint, and lemon on the side. And despite my best efforts to eat light I felt like I needed a cornbread muffin in there, too.

IMO it’s never too soon (or too late!) for another Greek night

Looking good! Glad you decided to post. I am a fan of Martha Rose Schulman’s recipes because vegetables play the starring role.
