What's for Dinner #73 - School's Back In! Edition - September 2021

Just got off a very long and draining zoom meeting… dinner is going to be late.

Don’t think I’m going to get around to figuring out what to do with the “wagyu butter round steak” I bought on sale (ideas welcome over here if you know what it is - or what I should do with it!)

I did eat some tomatoes and mozzarella (with video off) because I was utterly starving. Tomato was deceptively delicious - it felt underripe, but was just perfect. And some castelvetrano olives on the side, also from my grocery run just prior.

Last night, I had a redo of Hainanese chicken and rice (actually rice+quinoa). Might need to concentrate the broth a bit further, because I used bone-in breasts and so they were poached less than the thighs last time (I did put the skin & bones back into the broth & let that go longer).

.

Was a bit off for a few days, and craving mom food, which I did end up making myself.

One night, after a critical evening nap, I woke up craving puris - so a whole meal centered around puris was made in an hour. Potatoes, kadhi (in place of dal, but yogurt-based), shrikhand (cardamom-saffron hung curd/yogurt)

.

Another night, I wanted chapatis, so I made a few - why not, it’s not actually hard (for me - when I’m not being lazy). The rest of the meal was leftovers, though, so that balanced out. Lamb, green beans, chickpea paste.

.

There was also an evening of tacos at some point - I made some chorizo & potato (flour) tacos before heading to meet friends for a drink (they eat terribly late and so I need sustenance before any scheduled meals with them) - and they coincidentally ordered in tacos for dinner later too. The chorizo+potato combination is always delicious - even though I used Spanish chorizo in Mexican tacos, because I have too much of it in the freezer :crazy_face:
