You just blew our minds! Doing this with the pomegranate we have in the fridge.
This is a whispery post to say that oh boy, did we get behind on updating — don’t worry, we haven’t stopped eating dinner, we just got lazy — but unfortunately, Tumblr has removed their backdating functionality. We’ll be posting several meals a day (about one every hour, nothing too overwhelming) til we’re caught up, and then it’s back to life as normal.
Edit: Tumblr, in their infinite wisdom, re-added the backdating feature, so all the posts are now in their proper place!
We were all set to come home and make a salad and some vegetable side dishes when I came home and immediately changed everything: Pamplemousses again, mashed parsnips and potatoes, and totally heavenly open-face brown bread sandwiches with avocado, sliced and fried Canadian bacon, and lots of chives.
Months ago my mom sent us a can of Iranian tuna, and I immediately deemed any occasion that might need tuna to not be special enough. We finally used it in a big Salade Nicoise and although I can’t vouch for the mercury content, it was very, very good. We accompanied the salad with this oatmeal bread (I’ve made it tons of times before, and I’m ashamed to say that kneading the dough in the Kitchenaid produced exponentially better results than my kneading by hand) and Pamplemousses (our favorite new drink).
Breakfast sandwiches with Canadian bacon and fried eggs, plus broccoli cooked forever, which is like adult baby food in the best way and which you should make immediately.
It’s snowing outside, so naturally we made Cobb salad and ate too many cookies.
While NHS works late, I toast Atticus ciabatta and concoct a tuna sandwich with spicy Rick’s Pick’s relish (salvaged from Food52!) and various condiments.
M came over to make (more) saag paneer because after Friday all I can think is how I want it again. We also set things straight with that cookie — although only after nearly failing to add flour — and have some mildly obscene fun with the frozen cylinder of dough before eating too many of the finished dozens of cookies.
An awful blown-out photo for an amazing meal: this salt and pepper french toast (!) with sriracha ketchup dipping sauce, an iceberg wedge with honest-to-god powdered ranch dressing and bacon bits (we bought slab bacon from the grocery store before realizing it had skin — and a nipple! — still attached), and scrambled eggs (note to self: add cilantro and chives to scrambled eggs more often).
We wake up a little feverish and cough-y, so we spend the day drinking tea and making soup out of yesterday’s risotto for lunch. (The bread is what we managed to tear off from the stuck-in-pan sourdough.)
