Visiting my mom's place. Tonight's dinner was a collaboration. Mom made fried rice with a topping of oyster mushrooms. I did coca cola chicken thighs with braised carrots and roast asparagus.
My turn to cook at my mom's house. Trying to use up the leftover groceries we bought for my previous cook which my mom would likely otherwise toss such as ready made pesto, linguine and streaky bacon because she mostly cooks Chinese. Soupe au pistou again, and linguine amatriciana. At least this time she didn't use Chinese pickled mustard leaf as a condiment on everything. She liked amatriciana better than carbonara. I think she was horrified at seeing raw egg yolks being tossed into carbonara.

The Soupe au pistou looks good. Your mum is absolutely adorable @reactions to Italian cuisine.
The condiment my mom threw onto both linguine carbonara and soupe au pistou was this. https://pupswithchopsticks.com/chinese-olive-vegetable/
It is a combination of mashed green olive and Chinese preserved mustard greens, so kind of a Chinese tapenade. I do have to admit that vegetable soup flavoured with a dollop tapenade would work pretty well as an alternative to soupe au pistou. Those strong commercial sauces are a good way to flavour soup when you don't have stock on hand.
Pot luck party at a friends.
I made Spinach salad with sliced red onions, hard boiled eggs and pumpkin seeds & Fruit salad, watermelon balls, green grapes and strawberries.
There were so much good stuff! But I kept it under my limit and still got to enjoy everything.

Yeah I meant to say when you first posted about her adding that, it honestly sounds like it would be a great addition.
Orange and Tomato Simmered Chicken from Cooking Light. Made with Cauliflower Rice instead of couscous as the recipe called for. Love the fennel but a little bland...400 calories for a lot of food though kind of makes up for it.
Grilling today: Pita experiment number who knows what - very successful this time. I used one of our (my mom's) pans that was initially meant to be a pizza pan but is never used as such by either of us There was also some parchment paper finagling going on. Also grilled some chicken thighs for eating with pita and eating with korean things, some shishito peppers (same deal), two ears of corn from farmers market, and two yams (not from farmers market).
The tabouli is from the deli at the Lebanese grocery store down the street. At some point I need to just make my own.
Sorry ate most of the burger. Seasoned with Lowery’s mesquite seasoning and topped with blue. Cheese. It was a bit dry so I added some avacado. The poppers were my carbs and no I didn’t eat them all just 4
