Taking one for the team! Mighty good of you. 
Tonight, I made Wohlfert’s Bulgur Pilaf with Toasted Noodles which became the base for the Moroccan Lamb Shank braise leftovers.

Sacrifices…
They were so good and I’m not even a chip girl. I’m going to try the lime and nacho flavor this week with chili.

Looking forward to see the dumplings, I can not find any information on this, Google search only shows Chinese dumplings.
Welcome back!!
The kittos and I are off to the vet this afternoon for shots so I’m planning a quick pressure cooker chili (Chowhound slow cooker recipe adapted for the pressure cooker)-ground beef, no beans, served with lotsa cheddar, red onions, and skyr. I’ll package up the leftovers for the freezer.
I have a batch of flax crackers (tamari nori) finishing up in the dehydrator this afternoon and kefir draining to make a batch of chive kefir cheese. Dessert will be flackers and cheese with Braunschweiger.

Last night I made a leek and mushroom stock for tonight’s Mushroom Risotto, but lunch was so large I switched gears and made a mushroom soup. The only Bourdain recipe I have ever made, and it is simple and delicious. I usually serve as a first course soup, but made larger bowls tonight.

Welcome! Looks like you made a sheet pan meal? Those potatoes look tasty!
Last night i made the food 52 kale and quinoa one pot meal which is a longtime favorite. I never have pine nuts around (too hard to tell which ones are from china and the ones from Italy can be crazy $$)!so i used hemp seeds instead last night. And i hate goat cheese/can’t have it anyways so i added a handful of chopped olives. My bunch of kale was enormous so this batch made a lot!
Tonight i went to a friend’s art gallery opening after work, it was at a fancy gallery and the VIP party before opening to the public was sponsored by bacardi :)
But then i realized i was buzzed and starving and it would take a long time to get home…! I made an emergency stop at the next pizza shop i saw for a few garlic knots which were still hot (!!) and ate those in transit.
Leftover kale quinoa once home, kombucha on the side.

ok, as promised, a “few” highlights of the trip…
In Malaga:
croquetas, chorizos and jamon iberico on focaccia
gambas
mushrooms (not some weird dog)
fried calamari
Croquetas (filled with meat and potato)
In Sevilla:
bacalao
tortilla de patata in a divine whiskey sauce
tortilla de patata served to me in bed on a day i stayed home - i was sick for almost the entire trip! just a cold…
Salmorejo - gazpacho’s sexier cousin
Papas arrugadas - salt-boiled potatoes - a Canary Island dish.
In Cordoba:
berenjena con miel - eggplant with honey and sesame seeds
an almond creme with ham and fruits - savory, not sweet
“toast” with fresh tomato sauce whipped with olive oil, and topped with jamon serrano
eggs i got to accompany that (we shared this whole bfast)
artihoke hearts in a curry sauce
tortillas de patata and salmorejo
anchovies and sardines
And in Granada (where you get a free tapa with your drink no matter what you order!):
fried fish and calamares
bread topped with tomato pureed, “caviar” of sweet sherry, sardine
chorizos
tortilla de patata (they ALL look this good!)
Padron peppers
Navajas (razor clams)
Chuleton - gigantor tbone steak, like they do in San Sebastian
A pork stew - again, just a little tapa they serve up when you order a beer.
my favorite place, in a market. various stuffed peppers, oives, salmon wrapped cheese, anchovy stuffed olives, smoked swordfish (to die for)
salmon and goat cheese
foie gras. FREE FOIE GRAS!!! WHAT A COUNTRY!!
I can’t remember - i think artichoke and ham, and something else…
chorizo picante
There was so much more. Thank god for walking or I’d have gained 15 lbs…

Maria, what a feast! My favourite country in Europe! In your photos the way tapas is served is a little different from the northern east (Alicante, Valencia etc).
Naf, look up “spaetzle lid”. I made the “buttons” (translated from german, a type of dumping) with it last night. Cut the time to 2/3!
@Borkonat, welcome to WFD!

Ah, the food in Malaga was our greatest surprise during our 4-week Spain adventure. A place I was expecting almost nothing, and found so very much more. Your pictures remind me of just how much we enjoyed the food of Spain.
