What's for Dinner, Sunday, Feb. 11, 2024

I had a craving for a dish I'd made from Kitchn blog a few months back. It is feta cheese bake with tomatoes and garbanzos. It's baked on a sheet pan. Has herbs, hot peppers, garlic, olive oil. It is fast and simple to make.

I baked it during the time I worked at the garden this afternoon. I used tomatoes (mixture of cherry, golden pear tomatoes, and beefsteak) I'd frozen from last year's garden. Unfortunately there weren't enough, so I had this genius idea from my recent cabinet clean outs: Use Bloody Mary tomato mix. Did that ever work well.

In addition, had cucumbers in mirin. Crusty roll with a bit of sliced ham and chipotle mayo.

Basically appetizers.
Thai chicken and basil spring rolls with a bunch of dips: sweet chili, polynesian, and hoisin sauce.
Assorted cheeses with crackers.
Choice of wine or non-alcoholic beverage.

Don't know how I'll fix it yet - maybe tacos. Sides will be fried plantains and a broccoli slaw. I need to make an orange cake since the tree is going crazy this year: I've put half a bushel out for people to take but there are still a lot, and I'm tired of squeezing oranges for juice.

ETA: the tacos and slaw somehow turned into a mock Kalua pork with napa cabbage, with a couple drops of liquid smoke standing in for the kalua pit.

The chicken nuggets are from frozen. I don't like the icky-sweet sauce that comes with the bag though.

OK, not strictly "dinner," but homemade and wonderful.

Not watching the Super Bowl, just eating

Pistachios to snack on during the game and tangerines before bedtime.

Good Evening 🌆
