Put my money where my mouth is… khichdi for dinner!
With the standard accompaniments - papad, yogurt, raw onion. I wasn’t feeling pickle or that is another one. Yesterday’s potato too, but I ate it all already 
I doubled the lentil ratio out of sheet carb guilt, which is why it looks so… gloopy. Still tastes good, though.

Saw the quail salad picture on the Instagram. Thought it was from a restaurant. Wow!
You are evil.
I’m getting packed to go out of town, kitchen provisions are low and I have a sweet tooth kicking in.
Just evil. Now I have to get out of the pj’s, into the car and go to the Food Lion from hell to buy something…
the food where?
hope we win too!
Thanks @bmorecupcake !
only worked a few hours overtime today, so I cooked! Threw together an Andouille Orzo Pilaf. If there wasn’t such a thing, there is now. sauteed andouille sausage with crushed garlic, baby bells, kale, red chili flakes, bay leaves & oregano. toasted orzo and rice, then cooked in tomato/chicken bouillon, and added to the meat/veg to finish. PSTO parm regg got mixed in for cheesy goodness. happy how this turned out. veggies were still a bit crisp, enveloped in the creaminess.
those chops have me drooling…
Weeelllll not to make it worse, but if you have chocolate at hand, these cookies are quicker than a store visit 
all three of these meals are what i want for dinner, and I already ate!
Roast chicken . Stuffed with a little lemon and garlic. Side of rice and broccoli. Wine to drink. 
Cheers.
That’s a good looking bird!
I pulled out the emergency Nutella and spread it over toast. That did the trick plus I could stay in pj’s!
I raised the temperature throughout the cooking. Basted it a couple times . Just salt on the skin . I really enjoyed it .
A crispy skin bird always makes me happy.
Dinner’s a wrap.
Lamb mince is going to be fried, along with mushrooms, garlic and chilli ,with pine kernels stirred through at the last minute. There’s mint and yoghurt. And some mixed salad leaves as a nod in the direction of the five a day. And khobez flatbreads to wrap it all in. The original recipe, such as it is, is from Nigel Slater’s Kitchen Diaries 2. He suggests a spirnkle of chopped green olives and pomegranate seeds beofre wrapping. I couldnt find a pom so will probably stir in a tablespoon or so of pom molasses into the lamb mixture.
Trader joe’s had the huge bin of them out already! $4 for a good sized one. It felt like A Sign to me… 
From your loving DH…
Still no idea… are you confusing me with someone else?
Speaking of wraps… I’ve just heard that the nephew’s short film has won the monthly student short film award from the Calcutta Film Festival. He was the cinematographer, with other students directing, etc. The monthly winners don’t get anything tangible but they go forward to be considered for the annual prize. As we say round here, I’m right chuffed for him.
