Very simple dish. This is as close to my dish but I make meatballs instead of loose ground meat. The other difference is I use my grandmother’s spice blend which has more ingredients but the recipe below has the key ingredients in the spice blend

Good call! I hardly ever have either on hand, but I’d definitely be able more uses for yogurt than sour cream.
I threw together a yogurt based Caesar-ish (vegetarian) dressing tonight- hoping it turns out ok after a rest in the fridge.

Really rough day for my industry (classical music) in NYC today. Needed comfort for dinner and @mariacarmen’s Vietnamese noodles from a few days ago have been haunting my dreams, so I whipped up a batch according to my own taste after getting the gist from several recipes online. Butter (lots), garlic, fish sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and Sriracha because I like a little spice. No pictures because I inhaled them too fast!

what’s so interesting to me is the name - Roz - like arroz! so many Spanish words came from Arabic ones.

Around the time of Columbus when Jews were expelled from Spain, many ended up in Arab countries. Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Palestine …
My grandparents, one side from Aleppo Syria and Egypt the other side from Kilis Turkey on the boarder of Turkey and Syria. Aleppo was at the time very culturally vibrant. She left as a very young teen and ended up in NYC, Macon Ga and then Tampa. She was a excellent cook, measured by hand or glass and was a perfectionist in what ever she made. She was left a widow very early with 6 kids

Indian food night. As my friend in #england would say, “Tonight’s nibbles” are butter chicken, basmati rice, and channa masala. Naan not pictured.

Very unexciting dinner tonight. Fish with sautéed greens from the neighbor’s garden, supplemented by leftovers.
Kids had beans, leftover roasted veg, and cheesetoast. I would rather have had their meal.
Oh well. Tomorrow is another day.

Dutch baby pancake came back. This time, flavored with pancetta and manchego. (I think I liked my earlier attempt using Parmesan better. Punchier flavor.)
Green salad and quick pickled mini cucumbers on the side.

I grew the ones in my hand but not all the ones on the plate. Asparagus is cool. It takes a year or two to get going but comes back each year. I love how they look when the season is done and they get big and bushy too.

Hah, I read that as pancetta and mango at first, and wouldn’t object to that either.

You know, if you put pancetta in the pancake and had some sliced mango on the plate you’d have a swanky breakfast or brunch.

Had some garlic scape and pistachio pesto in the freezer from :::mumble, mumble, Imnotgoingtosayhowlongitsbeeninthere:::
Mixed the pesto with some grated Parm, some fresh lemon juice, and some milk. Heavy cream would have been better but don’t have any.
Cooked some penne and drained it.
Quick-sauteed some red bell pepper and removed it from the pan.
Then quick sauteed some thin asparagus.l in the same pan.
Penne went back into the cooking pot with the pesto blend, adding the asparagus at the end to warm.
Plated, sprinkling some of the bell pepper on top with chopped pistachios and a bit of dried lemon zest.
There WAS wine.

Mrs. P made some awesome black sea bass filets from Local One Seafood. She made an excellent sauce of capers, vermouth, oil, and butter among other ingredients. We had asparagus on the side.

Simply prepared burgers with fried onions and American cheese on a seeded Martin’s potato roll. Perfect dinner after a day outside gardening and fixing up the patio. I love steaks, but not much of a burger guy. However, I fried the onions and then cooked the burgers in the grease and man, they were good! Mom had a cheeseburger with raw onion while the BF had the fried onion along with bacon (which we tried cooking in the oven for the first time and they were crispy as hell).
To drink: if you can believe it, my first ever Cosmo. Guess I’m officially gay now LOL. Honestly, I thought it was just okay and switched over to a Stoli on the rocks shortly after.
