Green chicken enchiladas - filling made from poached chicken breast, onions, cilantro and queso fresco. Green sauce/salsa made from broiling tomatillos, shallots, garlic and jalapeño, then puréed with cilantro.

Dinner on Tuesday night was intended to be a salmon fillet with a Greek salad but I needed the last of the cuke and tomato for last night’s dinner. So I pan fried the fillet with yellow and red peppers served over fettucine. I started with another dolmades and finished with baklava. I didn’t like the square one - it tasted like perfume.

Dinner was paired with a blanc de blanc and dessert was paired with a Grand Marnier.

Last night’s dinner started with another dolmades followed by chicken skewers purchased at Costco, cuke and tomato from my CSA and a pita and tzatziki from the Lebanese grocery store. They had some intriguing pastries at the cash and one of them caught my eye. When I asked the cashier what it was she said “fried dough with honey”. One would think she’d try a little harder to upsell them :wink: I bought it anyway and a Google search tells me I bought a zoulbia. They are quite tasty!

Today I (re)learned that the historic roots of South Asian Jalebis are the Middle Easters Zoulbiyas.

I love hot, freshly made jalebis straight from the maker’s wok. But will happily eat them cold too.

I’m curious about your
 place mat? Is this a rendering of world map inside half of a frame?

This is one of my favorites

Today was a beige food day and I’m not even sorry. After 6 days of work in a row I wanted quick and easy so I’ve got homemade breaded prawns and frozen chips, all deep fat fried and served with a cocktail sauce.

Made 3 dinners tonight:

  • Spaghetti and meatballs for Spring Onion (Barilla protein spaghetti / TJs party meatballs / Carbone marinara (I really like this, found on sale at our local Market Basket - I bought 5 jars)

  • Veggie burger and air fryer fries for B; COTC; salad of FM tomatoes and lettuce/cukes/red onion/local feta/miso dressing

  • For me: air fryer tofu/leftover peanut noodles/cukes/tomatoes/scallion/cilantro.

We had the peanut noodles last night (B had his with Arctic char, which I don’t like for it’s farmed taste) and B wasn’t feeling the air fryer tofu tonight so I spared him from having tofu tonight - fine by me. More for my breakfasts this week. I took a photo of only my meal - passive aggressive move?

Tonight we made F&W’s fried catfish sandwiches with creamy cumin slaw. They were delicious! I streamlined the recipe a bit (reused the egg marinade as the egg wash, adding buttermilk). Would definitely make again. Buttered toasted buns are a must.

I wish you’d add a little detail to your photos! This looks intriguing to me - care to describe? TIA
