Didn’t get to much plan-wise last week between lack of sleep and OTT stress, but I do still want to eat many of those things so I’m going to roll them forward.
I did eat a LOT of chicken quesadillas and spinach gozleme, which FINALLY used up ALL the flour tortillas hiding in my fridge and freezer, lol. Now I need more, haha.
Roll forward:
— Kheema macaroni and/or kheema shepherds pie (or maybe kheema pastitsio? but potato >>> bechamel so hmmm…)
— Steak bites & rice– maybe Bo Luc Lac or Japanese soy garlic steak
— Korean beef (turkey) and tofu patties / Wanja Jeon – this or this
— Shumai burgers, but maybe as meatballs, and might try with chicken thighs or ground turkey
More ideas that appeal:
— Fish larb from COTM NYT but possibly using frozen fish sticks to approximate the fried fish version at one of my favorite Thai restaurants (inspired by the Fish Finger Bhorta from Nigella, which also bears repeating)
— Thai shrimp cakes from COTM NYT
— Spanish-flavored chicken & potatoes – this combined with this
.
Might start some Thanksgiving-related projects:
— Another few rounds of Date & nut energy balls (for my other nephews 
)
— Puff pastry spirals – still thinking about what filling (I did kheema last year which was a big hit, but I’ve been mulling over something simpler like pimento cheese or cheddar & harissa)
— Maybe Chicken liver pate
Want to bake something, but uninspired at the moment.
Wishing a good week to all.
