I made curry tonight. Cauliflower and chickpea. I used coconut cream, and it turned out really rich and lovely. Store bought naan because I'm too lazy to make two elements in a meal from scratch

Tonight we went to an upmarket brasserie recommended by a friend of a friend who lives in the neighbourhood of our hotel, and I had the whole seabass cooked cooked in the big green egg (that's a model of outdoor smoker) served with chimchurri and horseradish sauces. Flesh was amazing and smokey but the cooking method did render the skin tough and inedible. Other pictures are of shared starter of house smoked salmon with ravioli and asparagus, shared complimentary sides of veg and fries, great shared dessert of mini lemon meringue pie.

Warm roasted veggie salad with feta, baby spinach, balsamic glaze and topped with grilled pork ❤️

LazyBlondeChef

Mediterranean/Middle Eastern "nachos". I cut the pita bread into wedges and tossed in some olive oil and za'atar. Baked until hard and dry. Cooked ground lamb with a mix of cloves, cinnamon, allspice, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and chili powder. Made a version of an Israel salad with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olive oil, lime juice and cilantro as I had leftovers of the last two ingredients. After the pita wedges were done I added some feta to them and broiled for about 90 minutes. Then added the lamb mixture, topped with the Israel salad and some tzatziki. One could replace the lamb with garbanzo beans for a vegetarian version.

Chicken and rice soup. I took Friday's tortilla-less chicken soup and added some rice to it. Changed up the spices a bit and added the leftover cilantro. All the rice is on the bottom so you can't really see it.

Kind of lazy with cooking this week. Burnt ends brisket (from Costco), tater tots (air fryed), sweet corn tot and salad of feta, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives and fresh basil spritzed with olive oil. The burnt ends were OK but we wouldn't buy them again. The Med salad doesn't really go with the picnic dinner but I needed to use up the feta and tomatoes.

The stir fry was actually spicy!! So hard to find that in the upper Midwest.
