What's For Dinner #111 - the "I Got A Rock" Edition - October 2024

Looks very good. My favorite falafels are those made with a mix of chickpeas and fava.

I had no idea favas in falafel were a thing!

Pretty sure I got dehydrated walking around in suddenly 80 degree weather as we snacked in Flushing Koreatown, so I was completely sapped by evening.

Luckily I had some intense chicken broth that I made from a rotisserie chicken carcass last week for another use, so I just put together a quick bowl of chicken soup with rice (plus gratuitous snow peas that I blanched earlier for a bit of green), childhood comfort and recovery food.

That plus some electrolytes eventually revived me.

Nice . It was a learning curve for me using the Gozney arc xl .

Thank you! Every time I make it I find it remarkable how delicious it is - he really managed to balance the flavors perfectly.

Arugula, where? :smile:

I c/p’d the menu description & didn’t really pay much attention beyond that since it wasn’t my dish.

I’m also not sure the arugula would have added anything to it.

@Bigley9 didja miss it? :joy:

I do see a couple a pieces of green ?
Just funny that they would bother to include it in a description so prominently when there isn’t really any there.
No criticism of anyone but the Chef intended

Absolutely no offense taken — y’all should know by now I’m not easily offended. It’s just food.

The menu didn’t mention the salad that came with my falafel either, but I was pretty happy to get some :blush:

When I was reading your post, I thought “Arugula? There was arugula?”. There wasn’t. Didn’t even cross my mind while I was eating it. :thinking: The greens in the salad were not arugula :woman_shrugging:

TBH I don’t see any RADdishes on your plate, either :joy:

In fact, your salad looks pretty similar to mine. 'twas tasty, tho, and nice to see you again!

Back on Mushroom Day we had the previously mentioned Mushrooms St. Thomas, the next day. This is what it looks like before baking and after. Made four, have devoured 3 between the two of us and one is frozen for sum buddy’s lunch-on-the-road, sum day. This dish is so delicious. We had it with green salad and a piece of
‘interesting’ focaccia.

First of all I did not know there was a mushroom day. My bad! I will have to make note of it next year and celebrate appropriately!

Second of all what is Mushroom St. Thomas? Google keeps sending me recipes or pointing me to dispensaries that sell mushrooms.

See back on October 15 , National Mushroom Day. I can recite a recipe if you need it. From a restaurant in Quincy, California.
