I was just thinking that very some finely chopped and dried frozen spinach could be added to the salmon mixture for arayes.

Lol, my spinach crop has been awful the last few years.
I noticed when an 80 yo relative was using frozen spinach as a short cut in her spanakopita.
I had never had a home-made spanakopita made with frozen spinach before that one. For the family recipe we use a salad spinner to get the spinach really dry before chopping. And we add one bunch of curly endive: 2 bunches of fresh spinach, green onions , parsley and dill, and sometimes some leeks, and arugula. So a spanakopita relying on frozen spinach and feta is a completely different animal. LOL
My new cheat when I’m craving spinach pie of any kind is kuku sabzi with whatever greens I have at home. Which of course is more frittata than pie.

Mint Dosa - a South Indian restaurant in Southampton. 99% of the clientele was Indian this morning and it was pretty packed. The ‘live dosa’ involves the enthusiastic Indian clientele haranguing the single harried-looking server/manager for dosas, which eventually get delivered to your table after being cooked fresh in the kitchen.
Round 1: Pongal, Upma, Idli, Sambar, coconut chutney, red chutney
Round 2: Mini vadai, Upma
Round 3: A live Dosa! Husband had masala dosa on this round.
Round 4: More live Dosa - fresh and crispy.
The place was absolutely hopping. There was a table of very friendly young Indian men watching the India versus New Zealand cricket match on a phone and my son stopped at their table every time he went to the buffet and exchanged some chat about the score etc. My son made around 7 trips to the buffet table to reload his plate - also consuming 5 live dosas. The buffet is £10 a head, really good value.

What an amazing deal. Looks delicious.
I haven’t done a dosa breakfast in a long time!

I think of “live” dosa as a guy set up outside so people can go up and order, and watch as he makes them (which is such a skill!)
But hey, as long as fresh and crisp dosai are showing up!

Well, that’s what one would hope but the description was a bit misleading. ‘Fresh dosa’ might be more accurate. They have the proper ‘live’ dosa stations at some posh Indian hotel breakfast buffets - those are awesome.

I celebrated Pi Day with cappuccino , a donut, and dim sum.
Not all the dim sum. LOL. I had half of a piece of 5 different dishes. Most of the dim sum I ordered were bigger than I expected.
There will be dim sum tomorrow, too.

Cheesy baked eggs with mushrooms and herbs - I had mushrooms, herbs, and heavy cream in the fridge that needed to be used. Pretty pleased with how it came out!

Chinese BBQ pork and egg breakfast sandwich with scallions and chile oil
The pork was leftover from take out earlier this week. I tossed these boneless ribs in some hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper to gild the lily a little. Then put them in a low oven for a bit to set the glaze. It helped to counter the just straight up “sugar” flavor they originally came with.
