Thanks! I like when folks do something similar, so I can better “borrow” their recipes.

Getting down to the pantry dregs - reheated Anderson’s split pea soup doctored up a bit and with sliced German sausage from the freezer. Another green salad. I actually took a picture but - my god - split pea soups looks so terrible I immediately deleted. Tasted good though!

I LOVE Alouette garlic & herb cheese (or Presidente). It’s good swirled into pasta and chicken for a quick sauce as well.

Thanks! I ended up buying it on Amazon. It sounds like the toasted barley shape has been discontinued, but I can toast it myself.

That’s what I’ve always done. It reminds me of how my neighbor taught me to make rice pilaf.

One tummy on the fritz or hyperacidity rearing its ugly head, so I had to switch up the dinner plan.
Mom had the leftover curry noodle soup from last night (which I had not realized she enjoyed so much)
I made myself dad’s masala omelette and then put together his beloved omelette sandwich.
I made sis some bland food but with a bit of flavor – mashed potatoes with the tiniest bit of butter, water instead of milk, and truffle salt, tempered rice (aka vagharelo bhat ie Indian fried rice) with onion, cumin and mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida, and turmeric, and very lightly buttered fresh sandwich bread with the crusts cut off, because when you feel like crap, it’s nice to be babied a little.

After a couple of heavier meals over the weekend, I decided to lighten it up a bit with a quiche.
Blindbaked a Pillsbury crust. While that was happening, I sauteed pancetta and then some spinach I had to use up in the resulting fat. Grated some Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack cheeses and it, along with a grating of nutmeg and s/p were combined with 4 whupped eggs and some heavy cream. The spinach and pancetta were added with some chopped green onion from my deck and poured into the crust.
Covered the rim of the crust with foil and baked at 375° for 35 minutes, then let it sit for 15 minutes before cutting a wedge.
I like the bite the Pepper Jack gives.

We had our first post-Berlin chile head gathering at the OG Sichuan place where it all started almost 14 years ago. Our group was small, but hungry. I managed to take a pic of the garlic cukes, but then deleted it bc every other dish was decimated within minutes. Wolves. The food was pretty excellent, today, tho - salty, garlicky, good heat.
We had mapo tofu, garlic eggplant, stir-fried bok choy, cumin beef, chongqing chicken, salt baked shrimp. So good.
