Those Caesar salads!
They were very nice and split it in the kitchen for us. Had a very nice lemony element.
Pan-roasted chicken thighs. Pasta with Sophia Loren’s bay-laden tomato sauce (courtesy of The Guardian). Grilled zucchini.
If one must have dessert, there’s another blueberry pie in the wings.
I thought Sophia’s tomato sauce was great. Super simple, fresh and bright. A good application for garden tomatoes. I will make again.
Shrimp tostadas again. Sous-vide Key West pink shrimp cut in half on tostada shells with salsa Mexicana and mayonnaise.
Sounds perfect!
I went down a rabbit hole researching those. Very cool!
I made bamieh with braised beef, garden zucchini, and chickpeas, cobbling together ideas from Persiana and online sources. The chickpeas and zucchini were my additions to increase fiber/veg and stretch the meat across more servings. This was really delicious, especially over bulgur.
That looks good. I’m guessing the tomatoes go in at step 5 of building the sauce. What did you do?
Searching online for Old Monk rum at the VA state controlled liquor store…
When she was a younger lady and perpetual pinup, she famously said - all you see, I owe to pasta. If only! I’ve been trying that pasta diet for years and it doesn’t work!
Pasta and genetics!
Genetics.
I’d be intrigued to know if you find it (it’s delicious, local Indian rum that I carry back).
I added the rum first and let it sizzle for a minute. Then used a 14.5 oz. can of salt-free diced tomatoes (instead of puree), and then water to cover. Worked fine!
Apparently VA ABC stores carry it! #weekendgoals
I found ours here in Waltham at Dion’s on Lexington St.!
Just saw this. Herzliches Beileid.
