Active choice on my part, not the site doing it — I was trying to be sensitive to any vegetarians reading (click to unblur)
Assuming you mean the plate with biryani and a steel bowl? At 2 is papad (this one was made from sorghum / jowar) — should be fried for optimal texture, but is 85% as good just microwaved.
The bowl at 12 has plain yogurt (we often set it in individual bowls - the kid in me likes breaking into the cream top), and the tiny steel bowl at 10 has onions marinated in salt, chilli, coriander, and cumin.
Yes, thank you!
Odd dinner combination tonight, due to lack of creativity on my part and some ingredient shortage.
Plan was was cauliflower cheese. However despite ordering THREE heads of cauliflower, I had barely enough for 2 dimmer portions (less than 1 if my nephew was eating ).
So I cooked the pork chops planned for tomorrow as well - Sichuan style, with the peppercorns, doubanjiang, cumin, and various other things. The pork took longer than I expected to tenderize, and half way through I realized I had left the toasted and crushed peppercorns, cumin, and star anise out by mistake, so they went in then… but all ended well as it was pretty delicious.
Odd bedfellows, but we were pretty happy anyway.

Those tartes
WFD folks, Cookbook of the Month nominations are underway for September:
You need to go hiking more often.
Last night’s dinner was a “throw together” dinner. Shake & Bake Pork chops, Knorr rice side and green beans (apple sauce on the side).
No muss, no fuss, paper plate, coke straight outta the can like a gangsta. Banquet burger and onion rings with a blob of catsup, from a favorite local burger joint just down the street.
Is there any other way to drink Coke?
nope
I not so secretly enjoy those
Ice ice, baby
I made ATK’s cast iron pan pizza and overall enjoyed it, although I think the sauce for this American-style pie needs tomato paste. I reduced the oil in the pan by 1 Tbsp and it was fine. I also used regular AP flour and an assortment of cheeses b/c quarantine.
Broccoli and veggies with dip on the side. I will never microwave broccoli again; it’s just spongy, exploded, and not good. Steamed is far superior.
I once worked with a gal who only drank ice cold Coca-Cola in a glass bottle. She said Coke in a can couldn’t begin to compare with the glass bottle. I’m not much of a soda drinker so I took her word for it.
Delivery pizza - quattro formaggio with added roasted mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Really, really good!
Totally appreciate that gesture.
Nice combo🤤
