Work dinner. Once simmered down a bit, will strain bits out to go with some tortilla and the cilantro/cabbage/lime pictured. Abit of queso. Perhaps some red onion as well. Out of radish ATM. Corner bodega was out of them, and I can't be arsed to make a trip elsewhere. Basically pozole tacos.

Tomorrow will be whatever is left combined with a "family size" box of Annies Shells & Cheese, chucked under the broiler for a bit to get a nice crisped top. Thinking to chunk up some of that cabbage and roast it for a nice side.

directly above the center of the earth
Falfel from scratch (for Rideit)

Package of dried chick peas , I use 8 oz per batch. soak 24 hrs in water with a couple of tablesoons of baking soda. Rinse and drain before using, Baby Dill, Cilantro, Parsley, chop all 3 finely. fresh garlic cloves Onion ( I prefer red) spices: about a tablespoon each of Salt, Pepper, Cumin, Coriander, teaspoon of cayenne powder, 2- tablespoons of toasted sesame seeds. In a food processor with the steel cutting blade and the fine shredding disc add in the chick peas, the herbs, onion and garlic. when done empty the food processor into a bowl add the spices except the sesame seeds and add in a tablespoon of baking powder, and stir, Re run the mix through the food processor to make a fine paste then put it back in the bowl and add in the toasted sesame seeds. chill for at least 30 minutes before frying. I fry in pure olive oil (not Virgin) at 375 until brown. I also us a press to make my Falafel pucks as it compacts it enough to not fall apart in the oil and it drops them nicely into the hot oil without splashing.

Butter, S&P, garlic, smoked paprika, grated parmesan & manchego. Cauliflower. *was* two heads worth. Also was very delicious.

Leftovers of last night: caramelized onions, and brown lentils cooked in chx stock.

"Fire roasted" AKA under the broiler tomatoes. Mixed hard cheese bits. ~ 0.5# pappardelle. Two small zucchini.

Lentil Bolognese over the pasta with shaved cheeses and crisped zucchini chunks is where I'm going.
