re: #31 lawhawk

The Mrs has been wanting to do more vegetarian dishes, and we found a good “stew” that works as a compromise. It’s a Perisan chickpea and spinach stew with basmati rice. It totally works - there’s a bit of lemon zest and lemon juice to brighten flavors, tumeric, and a bunch of fresh herbs - cilantro, parsley, and dill, plus mint for garnish. I was surprised at how filling it was, since I usually need more after a vegetarian meal.

Think I’m going to make it part of my regular meal planning rotation….

Zedushka is a fervent carnivore, but has learned to enjoy vegetarian/vegan meals. His favorite is falafel, but he also likes SLT (sourdough, lettuce, tomato) sandwiches and whatever vegetable soup I cook up. Today’s soup is butternut lentil because I had some in the freezer.

I was going to go shopping today but NOPE. We have plenty of ingredients in the pantry to ride out this snowfall.

My kids are all like “if you move to Florida you won’t have to worry about snow!” and I’m like “yeah, only boiling hot humid weather, alligators and hurricanes!” As much as I love my grandkids, I love the seasons. They can come here to experience snow.
