I LOL’d. So relate. I like to microwave them in a bit of liquid to soften them up first.

It’s one of few foods I don’t care for in their ‘natural’ form. While I love a good falafel I’ll take baba ganoush over hummus any day.

Seared tuna fish salad. The usual salad fixings, tuna seared rare with a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of hot chili oil (hence the slight discolouration.

A very beige yet tasty Austrian meal - Kasseler (smoked pork loin brought by my FIL) in mustard cream sauce with a titch of honey. I more or less followed this recipe for the meat and sauce but added Worcestershire sauce, shallot, and bay leaves. Sides of Käsespätzle and Sauerkraut with apple, and a tomato-basil salad with aged balsamic, walnut oil, and toasted walnuts.

You know what day it is. Shrimp tacos. There was a schmear of guacamole, seasoned sauteed shrimp, pickled red cabbage, pico de gallo and lime crema. A NYT recipe, it won’t be repeated. The accoutrements overpowered the shrimp. There was a margarita and beer with.
Cloogy and cold today. There was a severe thunderstorm warning for the northeast part of the county, quarter sized hail and 60 mph winds. Lucky me, I’m in the southwest part.
eta: I forgot my salad, chared corn, radish, red onion, poblano pepper with a mayo and chipotle dressing, cotija cheese.

Lecker.
This is Austrian payback for all the delicious Wiener Schnitzel and Gulasch being sold throughout Germany 
I alwauss assumed it originated in Kassel. Is someone from Kassel also called a Kasseler?

Oh, I know. But I spelled it the German/ Austrian way.
I really like the Gulasch in Munich . And I make Wolfgang Puck’s Austrian recipe at home.
That’s my kind of dinner.
Well done, sir. Well done.

Tonight’s dinner was Chicken and Pearl Barley with cream of chicken soup (as a base) and peas on top. A special “thank you” to all that contributed on my Pearl Barley thread. The barley came out perfect – Sunshine and I really enjoyed it.
