Had home made falafels tonight. Grade C- The Tahini was very good, grade B. I need a finer blade for the food processor as the Falafel mix came out too coarse but the taste was great Grade C . Store bought whole wheat Pita pockets grade D- Gonna make my own next time.

Sounds like a real PITA to make correctly.
So I made Falafels the other night. we used store bought pocket pitas from Sprouts, they were horrible. So tonight I baked up some pocket pitas from scratch. I still have tons of Falafel balls to cook up and Tahini Sauce from yesterday so tomorrow its Falafel night
My Teriyaki game is spot on. Dip a whole head of Broccoli in sauce and then grill.
So tasty! Have done our own in the past, but no longer.
We've a Lebanese deli a block from my house. Just can't be bothered with making my own any longer. They were a godsend when we bought the house/gutted the kitchen!
Nearest decent falafel is in San Jose. Falafel Drive in, on San Carlos and it is the gold standard of Falafels but that's 30 miles each way. All the ones around here are just falael balls wrapped in a pita like a taco
Oh yeah. I'd make my own if it was that far away.
Our market is the same place we get our harissa and some bulk spices and so on.
hey @eric strt6 how does making pitas differ from making naan? i've done naan very successfully before.
If you want a good sourdough pita recipe - this one has been spot on for me: https://sourdough.com/recipes/really-simple-sourdough-pitta
The difference from naan is purely ingredients IME.
Cooking it on a 500* pizza stone for 3 minutes creates the central air pocket and the dough is thicker

Had the Natsu wrap. Very tasty though the Nori wrap was a bit overwhelming and the mango was a touch too sweet. Next time I will probably try the Umami bowl or the Natsu again as a bowl with the omission of the mango.
tl;dr - it needs more salt/umami, less sweet, and something crunchy for texture.
I'd ditch the nori wrap and do a thin tortilla, and grill it a bit post wrapping.
Obviously this is based on my tastes - YMMV.

Looks taisty.
That’s a pretty cheesy dinner.
Green beans, garlic-gruyere chx sausage roasted a bit.
Shiitake & leek mashed potatoes. Parmesan, cheddar, buttah, milk, S&P.

Made a new batch of Falafel's I nailed the Pita bread this time. Figuring out how long to cook the falafel balls ( way less than I thought), still working on the Tahini but getting closer.
Lamb sauteed in Teriyaki, garlic and habanero over spring mix, carrots, mushrooms, cucumber, red onion, cauliflower, red cabbage, tomato. avocado, and broccoli, with a balsamic dressing
Looks good.
How you eat that much raw broccoli without getting cotton mouth is a little concerning though!
I have never heard of anyone getting cotton mouth from eating Broccoli
Goddam rich people.Eric's so rich he has avocado halves just laying all over the place in his crib.
I can't help it if a friend of ours commercially grows avocados, besides that they go for $1.00 each at the market. Gotta love California produce prices.
Damn, dude - your sourdough game is TIGHT.I am quite happy about my bread game.
Fuckin' bastid!
