We shared a Panera’s Greek style lemon chicken soup and a toasted Angel pita bread from WF.
Hit the spot!

We had a chicken saagwala last night with naan bread, salted tomato and watermelon for dessert. Delicious and light. I’ll be sad when the watermelons will go out of season.

Biryani redux tonight.
I reheated the frozen leftovers from the other night along with another order. Baasi (stale) biryani tastes pretty excellent, but different than fresh.
Mom had veg momos (we had momos last night).

Last night was a chicken gyro kit from Aldi (Bremmer). I swapped out the white pita for ww. We prefer the regular gyros, but these were OK. We added harissa, chopped tomatoes, and baba ghannouj.

Terrible pic of tasty dinner: farmers market arugula, frisée and tomato with soft marinated sheep and goat cheese, drizzled with the marinating oil (as was the toasted ciabatta, post-pic). So good!!

I had tofu scrambled with smoked paprika and a slice of marble rye toast, plus a decaf coffee. Random but I am trying to trim calories.

Ugh. Had a perfectly good dinner all set to go, and sort of wrecked it by zoning out on the oven timer (I honestly don’t remember hearing it go off!), so it was in the 375° oven WAY longer than it should have been.
Pre-roasted chopped asparagus and red bell peppers, caramelized onion, chopped sauteed applewood-smoked bacon, shredded gruyere cheese, and dried thyme mixed with whupped eggs and heavy cream.
Blind-baked the Pillsbury crust, poured the egg mixture in, and it was supposed to bake at 375° for 45 minutes. I think it was 55 minutes or a bit more. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Slightly dry on the edges, and too “settled” for my taste, but will work for work lunches, now that we have a semblance of a kitchen with both toaster and microwave ovens.
There was wine.

DH enjoying the new gas grill tonight: Smash Burgers v. 2.0 with caramelized sweet Spanish onions. We both like these better than the Oklahoma Burgers he smashed up last time.
I made a traditional slaw.
Onions, pickles, cabbage, carrots and scallion from the garden.

Evil Bitoves, man.
Take-out Sushi from Oroshi Fish Co. in Toronto. This is the $35 Cdn Premium set. Finally, premium take-out sushi within a 20 minute walk for me!! I also bought some Kewpie mayo with my order, they have an online store.

We enjoyed another sensational dinner at The Farmer’s Daughter in Newton, NJ, including excellent lobster ravioli; rack of lamb with cauliflower puree and stone fruit; heirloom tomato salad with corn, goat cheese, and sherry vinaigrette; lobster fritters with honey pepper aioli; beef tartare and marrow with homemade chips; pommes frites with fresh herbs and parmesan truffle cream. It all went great with an excellent cabernet and Shiraz.

We packed up about 387 boxes of yarn and other craft supplies for mom‘s move to the DC area, then enjoyed leftover ramen slaw salad (apparently I never tire of it) and eggplant salad plus za’atar bread from a Syrian lady at the Playa Vista farmers market.

I guess I’ll never know,unless someone else is treating, or they’re giving it away for free 
No frills photo from last night. I have come to really enjoy our regular takeout spot’s Szechuan sauce, even though it is not that spicy. This picture does not do justice to how flavorful this Szechuan beef was. I asked them to really crank up the heat. The receipt said it was three times extra spicy. Except for a slight runny nose, it still was not hot enough.
I’ve never found a Chinese takeout spot (except maybe one, Sichuan Cottage in Manalapan, NJ) that could kill me with spice, unlike Thai and Indian places which are lethal on a regular basis.
Martini to drink.
