It was a grazing kind of day for me again yesterday. Still sticking with light eats overall, so trying to be creative.
Made some powha / poha earlier - beaten rice with onions and potatoes. Comfort food: usually breakfast or afternoon snack, but works for any meal at the moment.
Then it started POURING as I was making my afternoon / evening tea. And that is simply an invitation for any number of fried accompaniments - bhajiya, batata vada, samosa, you name it (remember there is an entire SEASON of rain in India, so foods go well with rain have been thoroughly vetted 
).
BUT. Stomach. So I made batata vada mixture - my great aunt’s method, with lots of aromatics sautéed first, with mashed potatoes and some spices added in and well combined
I used my “ball pan” again to fake deep frying. Saved a bit of tea till the eats were done - because, combinations.
And that was dinner.

I made turkey porcupine meatballs similar to these, but using crushed tomatoes, a bit of brown sugar and splash of red wine vinegar, and 1/4 c cream.
Served over leftover cauli-jasmine rice with leftover braised cabbage and steamed haricots with butter and TJ’s mushroom umami seasoning.

A mid-afternoon trip to WF had me gritting my teeth at those in the parking lot AND the aisles. Somehow I got in and out relatively unscathed.
Picked up some wild caught sockeye salmon while I was there and went with an easy recipe to try something different than my two usual recipes. It was good; just not a wow.
Rice pilaf and steamed asparagus alongside, plus wine.
And a pic of what has become a regular nightly occurrence with Alfie lying on top of Finn on the back of the couch for a brotherly nap. They are so weird.

Grilled flatiron steak, seasoned with Joe Beef melange du boucher, baked yellow tater with TPSTOBASC y una ensalada de cesárea. There may have been a few Manhattans consumed before, during and after.
