Chicken and lentil stew with almonds, over basmati rice. Fridge cleanout!
That looks incredibly appetising!
Thank you!
I love the birria to ramen ratio.
I can see why you’re happy.
Well done, sir.
Looks great.
No pomegranate seeds?
Inside the rolls, and some are hidden beneath the slaw.
For some reason 1 hot dog is never enough, and 2 is just a tad too much.
But I always err on the side of “too much.”
Cuz, y’know, just to be safe.
Gözleme with spinach & cheese and cacik for dipping from a booth at the farmers market near us. There’s usually a Very Long Line (bc Berliners love lining up for anything), but not today - presumably, many have flown the coop due to school being out and/or simply to escape the hellish temps for the Baltic Sea. In any event, the old lady preparing these has clearly been doing it all her life, the spinach is fresh & the cheese mix interesting. That said, we found it a bit bland & probably won’t need to get it again.
5pm lunch today because I woke up late - sautéed gulf shrimp seasoned with Tony’s and baking soda, a bag of Miss Vickie’s jalapeño chips, and a gin martini with an olive.
Be still my heart.
Psst. Martini should always be with gin. You only need to specify if it is not
Truth
We went out to eat last night with houseguests and my sister-in-law first asked if they had pickled cocktail onions (“no”) then she said she wanted a dry martini, straight up with an olive. The waiter asked if she wanted it made with gin or vodka. She’s a Gibson girl. I agree, when I order a Martini I expect gin but I always call for Hendrick’s.
I love trying new (to me) gins, so my martini order will vary on any given night. I prefer it dry AF with a twist usually, unless the barkeep convinces me of a more appropriate garnish.
I have tried to dry myself out for health reasons but I relapse when I am in company who order gin, I love a dry gin with a twist.
